The Seattle Seahawks had a notable offseason, making moves to improve their defense. One area of concern for the team is their run defense, which ranked among the worst in the league in 2022. However, the return of Bobby Wagner, a six-time All-Pro linebacker, could provide a much-needed boost to their ability to stop opposing ball carriers.

Last season, the Seahawks allowed over 2,500 rushing yards and gave up an average of 4.9 yards per carry. The absence of Wagner, who spent the year with the Los Angeles Rams, may have contributed to these issues. The Rams, in contrast, had a much better run defense, ranking 13th in the NFL in total run defense and 14th in yards allowed per carry.

With Wagner back in the fold for 2023, there is optimism that he can make a significant impact on the Seahawks' run defense. His experience and leadership will be valuable assets to the team. Additionally, there is speculation that Wagner could bring new strategies and techniques that he learned during his time with the Rams.

While it remains to be seen how Wagner will perform, the Seahawks' offseason moves and his return suggest that the team has a formula for a strong defense. The upcoming season will reveal whether their efforts have paid off and if Wagner can help fix their run defense issues.
