Here's a look at what's "out there" for today - Wednesday, Sept. 2 - about your Seattle Seahawks:
Seahawks Have Nine of NFL's Top 100 Players
More than 70 NFL analysts, reporters, statisticians, former players and front office members from ESPN.com and its sister sites put their heads together to determine the 100 greatest players in the NFL heading into the 2015 season, and a League-high nine Seahawks made the cut - three more players than any other team.
Seattle's nine players? That would be cornerback Richard Sherman (No. 8), running back Marshawn Lynch (No. 14), free safety Earl Thomas (No. 15), tight end Jimmy Graham (No. 23), linebacker Bobby Wagner (No. 32), quarterback Russell Wilson (No. 33), strong safety Kam Chancellor (No. 36), defensive end Michael Bennett (No. 60), and left tackle Russell Okung (No. 91). Click here to see what the exercise had to say about each player.
With nine players in the Top 100, it's no wonder the Seahawks top NFL Insider Field Yates' ranks of the Top 5 rosters in the League. If you're curious, the Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, and Indianapolis Colts round out Yates' ranks.
Seattle's Ceiling and Floor
With the third week of preseason play in the rear-view mirror, Elliot Harrison at NFL.com was assigned to predict the ceiling and floor records for each of the League's 32 teams. How well might a team perform if everything goes right during the regular season, and how far might a team fall if they stumble or succumb to significant injury early in the year?
Harrison passes along pretty favorable marks for the Seahawks in both scenarios, and you can see his explanation for each overall record below.
Ceiling: 15-1. OK, so I don't see Seattle -- or any other team -- going 16-0. And even though the Seahawks take a back seat to Green Bay in the Power Rankings, they have a shot to achieve a better record if -- if -- the Jimmy Graham trade goes better than anyone expects. And if the offensive line holds up. And if the secondary gets together again.
Floor: 10-6. Marshawn Lynch (29) begins showing his age. The O-line (sans Max Unger) plays to its talent level instead of the lofty ambitions of assistant coach Tom Cable. In this hypothetical, safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor are not ready/available at the start of the season. And Graham's debut campaign in the Pacific Northwest? Mediocreville.
