@NibblesDBun asks, "Will they figure out how to use Shaquem Griffin this season?"
A: It appeared as if the Seahawks started to figure out how they want to use Shaquem Griffin late last season when he started working into the defensive line rotation as a situation pass-rusher. Griffin didn't record a sack in the regular season—he did have a big late-game sack to end a Packers drive in the playoffs—but he did cause pressure on a number of notable plays, including Quandre Diggs' pick-six against the Rams. It appears the Seahawks like Griffin in that role and it's one he is comfortable in, having been a very productive pass-rusher in college, the question now is whether or not he can expand upon that role in 2020. Given the Seahawks' struggles to get to the quarterback last year, there's no reason for them not to give Griffin every chance to earn playing time in camp.
Asked about Griffin as a pass-rusher at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this offseason, Carroll said, "It was worthwhile doing. He did show us some stuff. He showed us his speed and he's got the motor that you like to see in pass rushers, particularly on the edge. It's a challenge for him – he rushed most of the year about 213 (pounds) – not many guys doing that, so he had to be speed oriented, which he was. He helped us, but we need more help and we need to better than that and he'll need to add to that too. He'll get another chance to be right in there again, we'll see how that develops."
@ScoobyG3 asks, "If nickel doesn't work out for Marquise Blair, what role do you think he'll have on defense?"
A: Obviously he's going to have to earn it in camp, but I get the sense hearing Carroll rave about Blair that the Seahawks will find a way to get the second-year safety on the field one way or another, regardless of whether or not he's the primary nickel defensive back. Look back to 2017 when Justin Coleman was the nickel for most of the season; the Seahawks still found ways to get Bradley McDougald on the field with Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas in certain matchup situations. I could definitely see a scenario where someone like Ugo Amadi is the nickel for certain matchups, while Blair could play that role in other games. There will also be situations where both of those players can be on the field at the same time in dime packages. And with injuries being an unfortunate reality of the NFL, it's always important to have good depth, because there's a very real shot Seattle will need another safety to start games this year beyond just Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs.

Michael Moore from Puyallup asks, "Are and Seahawks opting out due to COVID-19?"
A: The deadline for COVID-19 opt outs has passed, and one Seahawks player, guard Chance Warmack, did opt out. Seahawks general manager John Schneider noted on the Peter King Podcast last month that the Seahawks would be supportive of Warmack or any other player who decided to opt out.
"Chance had a situation that was very personal that we totally respect," general manager John Schneider said last month on the Peter King podcast. "… We won't hold any animosity towards anybody who wants to opt out. We'll respect their opinions, and we'll be ready in terms of having an emergency list of players ready to keep competing every week."
