I know everyone wants to jump on our TE issues on defense this year, but looking back, the Seahawks have struggled against TEs for a long time. Since Kam Chancellor has become the starter at SS, Seattle has struggled against opposing TEs. The difference between this year and years past - when TEs had their best games - Seattle lost.
TE numbers (Targets - Catches - Yards - TDs - YPC):
2011 - 112 - 73 - 833 - 7 - 11.4
2012 - 133 - 88 - 983 - 6 - 11.2
2013 - 142 - 88 - 866 - 6 - 9.8
2014 - 122 - 78 - 804 - 12 - 10.3
2015 - 121 - 86 - 1018 - 9 - 11.8
Opposing TEs account for 25% of opposing passing offenses - and over 40% of their scores - over the last 5 years. I haven't looked at the league as a whole - but I would think that those numbers are high.
