The Seahawks special teams is not off to a great start in one key area

During the preseason, Seattle dealt with worries surrounding kicker Jason Myers missing five kicks across three matchups, though he has since achieved perfection on his field goals and extra points. However, the club has encountered significant struggles stopping kickoff returns through the initial three weeks of the current campaign.

Last year, under coordinator Jay Harbaugh, the team allowed a mere twenty-four yards per return and yielded an opponent starting field position averaging the twenty-eight-yard line. Presently, the franchise sits thirtieth in the league by permitting 30.1 yards per return, having already surrendered five runbacks of thirty yards or more out of just eleven total attempts.

Opponents now start their drives on average at their own thirty-two-yard line, while injuries to roster depth such as Dareke Young, Cody White, and Jake Bobo may be impacting coverage unit performance.
