The Seahawks improved their pass protection over the second half of the 2011 season, but they are still focused on that part of the game this offseason. Seattle allowed 50 sacks, fourth in the NFL. "I'm personally disappointed in how we protected the quarterback, and we've made that a big emphasis to clean it up," offensive line coach Tom Cable said. The Seahawks had to figure their offensive line would experience early growing pains while breaking in two rookies without the benefit of an offseason.
