The Seattle Seahawks’ defensive line has been a work in progress in 2020 with a number of new faces coach Pete Carroll had hoped to plug in and play to help with the rotation.
Seattle selected defensive end Darrell Taylor in the second round of this year’s draft and Alton Robinson in the fifth, but both players were unavailable last Sunday. Taylor started the regular season on the Non-Football Injury list and Robinson was inactive.
Seattle also brought back a couple of former Seahawks to help with the rotation as well, Benson Mayowa and Bruce Irvin. Both had more snaps than Carroll would like Week 1, however, and the plan is to spread things out a bit more.
“We want our rotations better than that, more evenly matched if we can,” Carroll said Wednesday. “Sometimes you can, sometimes we can’t. Bruce is double-dipping because he’s playing the outside ‘backer spot, he’s really uniquely qualified to do that. He’s getting a lot of plays there, too. We just got to figure it out as we go.”
The Seahawks did recently sign defensive end Damontre Moore – another former Seattle player – who could join those Carroll plans to utilize in the future.
