Seahawks still have ‘winning culture’ despite losing Wagner, Wilson

Defensive tackle Al Woods knows a little something about football after his 12 years in the league. Woods re-signed with Seattle this offseason despite the Seahawks losing veteran starters on both sides of the ball.

With Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner both gone from the lineup, many think the Seahawks won’t be able to put together a winning season. Woods, on the other hand, thinks Seattle will be as competitive as ever.

Just the culture we have,” Woods told reporters during his press conference on Thursday. “The culture we have is a winning culture. Us being competitive at practice. It’s not going to be the same group of starters however, everybody has got to go out there and compete.

Woods is dead on about the competition – just how coach Pete Carroll likes it. The roster should be able to shape itself out over the rest of the offseason if things go as planned.

“The best players are going to play,” Woods said. “I feel like once we get out there and we start the comradery, the togetherness, and start working with each other. Iron sharpens iron, I think we’re going to be all right.
