Seattle Seahawks Tickets

The Seattle Seahawks 2012 season is reliant on the play of Marshawn Lynch and the development of the Seahawks defense (6^th youngest in the NFL). Despite the excitement surrounding rookie Russell Wilson out of Wisconsin, he fell four yards short in three successive completions from beginning his career with a win. Given the expectations previous to Wilson’s designation as starter, Seattle Seahawks tickets to CenturyLink Field this is an exciting development.

It would be irresponsible to think Wilson would pull a Tom Brady and lead the team to a Super Bowl. Big Ten quarterbacks are habitually underrated entering the NFL (sorry playing in actual weather tends to put a damper on stats), but Brady is a rare case. Wilson should still be expected to do very good things, but only by building off of the performance of Lynch. The running back seemed to have found a home after years of struggling behind an awful offensive line in Buffalo.

The Seahawks offensive line is not rated much better in comparison to those Bills lines of the past, but the group dominated with a zone blocking scheme in the second half of last season and should once again exceed expectations. This does not mean these same five will provide Wilson the time to throw the football. Rather, Lynch needs to pound it through the middle and set up the play action so Sidney Rice, Golden Tate, Braylon Edwards, and tight end Zach Miller will be open.

Seattle’s defense is underrated. They are young, but they are also a squad that last year held the opposition’s running backs to the fourth fewest yards per rush and the opposition’s passing attack to the 11^th least yards. Once again, this may be a statement dependent on rookies. Defensive end Billy Irvin is nice addition to a rotation of ends already made significantly deeper by free agent Jason Jones. Billy Wagner actually begins the season as the starting middle linebacker in a 4-3 scheme. It is still unlikely Seattle will be sneaking up on the 49ers atop the NFC West standings, but Seahawks tickets are by no means a waste for a football fan base as underrated as its team.
