Peterson Clearly Top Rusher of 2012

Found December 14, 2012 on Sports-Kings: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Adrian Peterson,  Marshawn Lynch
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
Mark EvansBy SBRForum.com credit: http://extras.mnginteractive.com With at least three rookies rushing for 1,000+ yards and with five backs facing the legitimate prospect of rushing for 1,500 yards this year, running backs are clearly having a banner year. Check out our NFL picks for the Top 5 running backs in football in 2012. 1: Adrian Peterson – There’s just no doubt about this one. AP came off of a torn ACL at the end of last year and has 1,600 rushing yards in just 13 games, averaging a stunning 6.04 yards per carry. He’s also one of the league’s leaders in rushing attempts with 265, and he is one of the five running backs with at least a total of 10 TDs on the campaign. 2: Arian Foster – Foster is overlooked because he is averaging just 3.85 yards per carry this year, but he leads the league in total carries (298) and total touchdowns (16). When all is said and done, Foster will have at least 1,500 all-purpose yards for the third straight season, and he has hit double digits in TDs on the ground as well. 3: Jamaal Charles – Just how good of a back do you have to be in order to be fifth in the league in rushing when you’ve got two of the worst quarterbacks in the league rotating as starters? Charles isn’t the flashiest back, and he does only have five TDs all year long, but he has 1,220 yards and is one of the three true running backs in the league averaging more than 5.0 yards per carry. 4: Marshawn Lynch – Beast Mode is back, and he has been awesome this year. Lynch has 1,266 yards on the ground and a total of nine touchdowns. He isn’t a great pass catcher, but he does get the ball a ton, and the offense for the Seahawks revolves around his ability to get yards between the tackles. 5: Doug Martin – Martin has been the most explosive of the rookie rushers this year, as he has 11 TDs and a total of 1,612 all-purpose yards. Martin has touched the ball 299 times already in his first year in the NFL, and he has had six games out of eight with at least one TD since Week 7. Sports-Kings - The Kings of Sports Lists

Seahawks to wear alternate “wolf grey” uniforms in Toronto

Via Pro Football Zone  |  December 13, 2012
Nike The Seattle Seahawks will be wearing their alternate “grey wolf” uniformswhen they travel to Toronto to play the Buffalo Bills this coming Sunday. While a lot of people aren’t crazy about the Seahawks’ new uniforms, I don’t have a problem with them.   Need NFL Tickets? var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'...

Moments in time…The Seattle Seahawks week that was

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  December 13, 2012
Beat down in Sea-Town Holy cow! That was one hell of a game last Sunday. The Seahawks took the first takeaway of the game and just ran with it, never looking back en-route to 7 more takeaways on the day, and a record 58 points scored. There have been multiple joke pictures and tweets floating around cyberspace ever since the end of the ballgame, so I thought I would include a couple...

One Game At A Time For The Seattle Seahawks

Via Oregon Sports News  |  December 14, 2012
Do you remember the game the Seattle Seahawks played against the Cardinals on Sunday? You know the 58-Nil beat-down handed out by the defense and Marshawn Lynch? Yeah, you might as well forget about it. I say this for two reasons. The first is that in a game like that, where everything goes your way, it doesn’t tell you much about who your team is. The defense absolutely dominated...

Making the MVP Argument For Marshawn Lynch

Via Football Nation  |  December 14, 2012
The Seattle Seahawks are in position for a wild card spot in the NFC. They are really overachieving this season considering they are starting a rookie 3rd round pick in QB Russell Wilson. The receiving corps came in with question marks. They had Terrell Owens and Braylon Edwards in their training camp; that should let you know how they felt about their wide receiver situation. It...

Seattle's 2012 draft class paying off on the field

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer Everyone knows about Seattle stealing quarterback Russell Wilson in the third round of last April's draft and perhaps finding the franchise quarterback so many NFL teams seek. But he's not the only rookie the Seahawks drafted in April who is making a huge impact. From defensive end Bruce Irvin...

Just a few short weeks after it appeared that the suspensions of the top two cornerbacks would derail the Seattle Seahawks playoff hopes they look every bit the part of a contender and potentially a division champion.

Seattle Seahawks: Week 15 NFL Power Rankings (#6)

Last week: 10 (+4) Record: 8-5 Net points per drive: 0.61 (5th) DVOA: 38.8% (2nd) Weighted DVOA: 43.1% (2nd) The Seahawks will control their own destiny to the #2 seed if the 49ers lose in New England this weekend and the Packers lose 1 more game. That’s very possible and if that happens, they’ll just need to win out and two of their final 3 games are at home, where they look...

The trap is set for the Seahawks vs. Bills in Toronto

Have your passports ready On paper, the Seattle Seahawks should be able to head east, and bring home a victory on Sunday.  ”On paper” doesn’t mean much, as the Seahawks have already proven several times this season. We have all heard the term “Trap Game” many times over the years.  If everyone knows about them, why do they happen? Simply put, they just do.  Even veteran...

Seattle Seahawks at Buffalo Bills: Week 15 NFL Pick

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  December 15, 2012
Seattle Seahawks (8-5) at Buffalo Bills (5-8) The Seahawks have the biggest home/road disparity over the last few years. They are 23-43 ATS on the road and 46-20 ATS at home since 2005. This year, they are a perfect 6-0 ATS at home, including 3-0 SU as home dogs, but on the road they are 3-4 ATS. That might not sound bad, until we take a closer look. Two of those covers were in their...
