2011 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS PREVIEW:
The Seattle Seahawks made history last season by becoming the first team to finish with a losing record and still make the playoffs, even beating the New Orleans Saints in the first round. Though billed as a success, the Seahawks will have to improve if they want a repeat performance, but they certainly have the tools to do so.
The offense will be undergoing some changes, as longtime quarterback Matt Hasslebeck left to join the Tennessee Titans. Leading the way this season will be former Vikings quarterback Tavaris Jackson, who will have fellow ex-Viking Sidney Rice to throw to. Marshawn Lynch emerged late last year to carry the running duties, with Leon Washington spelling him often.
The defense is a big question mark for the Seahawks as well as they are one of the youngest squads in the league. With a glut of rookies, Seattle will rely heavily on veteran leadership, most specifically from cornerback Marcus Trufant and defensive end Chris Clemons. Linebacker Leroy Hill will be leading the linebacking corps, which includes star-in-the-making Aaron Curry.

The Seattle Seahawks play in the West Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The team was founded in 1976 along with Tampa Bay as part if that year's NFL expansion. Over the years Seattle Seahawks has switched conferences twice, and has played for both an AFC and NFC championship. While the team did have some playoff success in the 1980's, the arrival of Mike Holmgren from his successful stint as Packers head coach was the boost the team needed to make it the contender it is today. The team has made the playoffs the last four years straight, even playing for a Super Bowl in 2005, losing to the Steelers. Holmgren has built a strong squad and the Seattle fans are notorious for making visiting teams tremble.
The Seattle Seahawks play their home games at CenturyLink Field in downtown Seattle, Washington. Opened in 2002, the stadium, previously known as Qwest Field, can hold up 72,000 spectators. The shape of the stadium and the volume of the crowd have led to Seattle referring to its home fans as the “12th Man”. Attend a Seattle Seahawks game and watch rowdy fans in the "Hawks Nest" in the north end zone make life tough for visiting teams. The breathtaking Seattle Seahawks skyline and Puget Sound as a backdrop make this a wonderful experience for any football fan. Buy Seattle Seahawks tickets today!
