12s just thought they loved reading about the Seahawks! But now our silky voices get you to listen to Seattle stuff too as we preview week one.

There is a lot of Seahawks news this time of year. But now that the real games are about to begin, there is so much stuff to discuss. Like, Earl Thomas has decided to play in 2018 and Shaquem Griffin will start in week one.

What can Russell Wilson do against the formidable Broncos pass rush? But at least Seattle gets Doug Baldwin back. Surely this will improve Seattle’s offense even more, right?

Will the running backs be able to generate a running game on Sunday to keep pressure off of Wilson? Or will Wilson have to win the game by himself again, just like most of 2017?

In roster cuts, did Lee or Kevin see any surprises? Are there any players that might actually help Seattle this season?

Kevin and Lee both have strong feelings about the Earl Thomas situation. Was it right for Thomas to hold out and was he was actually disrespected by Seattle? Or is it that in today’s NFL a player can actually get an advantage from holding out, like former Raider and current Bear Khalil Mack?

Finally, we give our predictions on how many wins the Seahawks will get in 2018. Kevin thinks Seattle might have enough to get to the playoffs. But Lee might have a different take on just how good Seattle is.

dark. Next. Earl Thomas reports but isn't happy...
