The 2011-2012 NFL season is getting closer and closer. That means it's almost time for tailgating, beer, goal line stands, and most importantly, power rankings!
ESPN released their first set of rankings for the year on Tuesday. The Seattle Seahawks came in at No. 19 on the list. Here is what they had to say regarding the team:
Sidney Rice, Zach Miller give Seattle needed weapons in passing game.
Deep, solid analysis.
As far as their foes in the NFC West go, only one team came in ahead of Seattle; the Rams will begin the preseason at No. 15. The Cardinals, who came in at No. 21, and the 49ers, who came in at No. 26, have some work to do.
Nothing substantial here, though it is always fun to see where the experts rank your team in comparison to the others in the division and around the league.
