The Seahawks made a lot of strides defensively, mostly because of a great pass rush. Patrick Kerney had a resurgence his first season with the Seahawks, getting a career high 14 and a half sacks. Darryl Tapp wasn't too shabby at the other end spot, finishing with seven sacks. And linebacker Julian Peterson is one of the best linebackers at getting a rush in the league. Linebacker Lofa Tatupu anchors the defense, though. He can get sideline to sideline in a hurry and is a great playmaker. Cornerback Marcus Trufant is a solid cover corner, one of the better corners in the entire league. But he needs some help. Kelly Jennings is just so-so at the other corner spot. Nate Burleson leads a solid return unit. He had two returns for touchdowns last season and was near the top of the league in punt returns.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Seahawks get overlooked a bit, but they are a solid fantasy starter. They get after the quarterback as well as any team and have a good special teams unit.
