After Coming Up One Yard Short, The Hawks Get

back to workBY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

So close.One yard from a second title. One play from

another majestic parade through the streets of Seattle. One more step to a matching trophy in the VMAC’s glass case.

It still stuns, it still stings and it’s still confusing nearly six months later.

But next week, the Seahawks return to camp and get back to work to figure out how to get that one more yard and bring the Lombardi trophy back to Renton where it belongs.

And to hear the team tell it, they’ve put the loss be-hind them and are ready to move forward with another season of Seahawks football.

“Right at the outset of that, the aftermath of the game, it was important to recognize that everybody’s going to deal with this individually and on their own and we wanted to respect that,” Coach Pete Carroll said during the team’s minicamp in June. “So we have done that and everybody’s brought everybody back to the point where we’re thrilled with what we did this offseason.

“We’re ready to go,” he said.For the star quarterback who has led the team to two

Super Bowls in his first three seasons, the loss was a “heartbreaker,” but will not define the team’s upcoming season as the Seahawks try to return to a third straight Super Bowl, this one on Feb. 7, 2016 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., home of the San Francisco 49ers.

“In terms of the Super Bowl loss, I think it’s a moti-vating factor for sure, but I don’t think it’s the ultimate one,” said Russell Wilson in June, adding that his team is full of “ultimate competitor(s)” who go out each week with a mentality to “dominate.”

And dominate is exactly what the Seahawks did for most of the 2014 season. Blasting out of the gate with an opening day win over the Green Bay Packers, the 2014 Seahawks went 12-4, won their division, secured the No. 1 seed in the playoffs and then faced down the

Packers again in the NFC champ-ionship game, rallying from the largest-ever halftime deficit, the Seahawks rallied for 15 points in the final frame to tie the game. Then, in overtime, the hawks won the coin toss and drove 87 yards in six plays, capped by a pair of long completions, the last of which was a game-winning 30-yard strike to Jermaine Kearse.

It capped another year of excel-lence for the Hawks and its bud-ding dynasty. Seattle finished the 2014 season with the top-ranked defense in football - again - the top rushing game and the ninth-ranked overall offense.

It’s been an excellent run for Carroll and the Seahawks. The team has now won nine of its last 10 regular season games and 32 of

its last 40. The team has advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs in four of Carroll’s five years with the team.

As in the past, the 2014 Sea-hawks were led by their defense and the secondary corps known collectively as the Legion of Boom. With superstar Richard Sherman leading the way, the

The Seahawks open their 2015 campaign on the road in St. Louis against the division rival Rams at the site of one of their four losses last season. The Seahawks dropped their first game against the Rams 26-28, but evened the season series with a 20-6 win in the final

game of the year.

The Seahawks face an early-season test when they head to Lambeau Field for a Sunday night re-match with the team they beat in last year’s NFC Championship game. The Hawks found themselves down 16-0 at halftime in that game, but battled back and forced overtime where Russell

Wilson hit Jermaine Kearse for a 35-yard touchdown and the win.

The Seahawks head to Dallas to take on Tony Romo and the Cowboys, one of the four teams to beat them last season, a 30-23 loss at CenturyLink Field. The Cowboys are looking to build on last season, the first time since 2009, but will have to do it without NFL leading rusher DeMarco

Murray who jumped ship for the Philadelphia Eagles.

After an explosive 9-1 start, the Cardinals dropped four of their last six games, including two to the Seahawks and limped into their first playoff berth since 2009, where they were beat by the Carolina Panthers. Carson Palmer, who was injured in week 10, returns this year

to lead the team.

For the second time in five weeks, the Seahawks take on the rival 49ers, this time in Seattle. After a 2103 that saw the two teams battling to the final seconds for the NFC Championship, the Seahawks easily beat the Niners twice in 2014, 19-3 and 17-7.

The Seahawks will face Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time since Week 2 of 2011 and the first time in Seattle since 2003. The Steelers last year won the AFC North and made their first playoff appearance since 2011, but fell to the

Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round.

Though they improved last year under first-year coach Mike Pettine, the Browns missed the playoffs for the 12th consecutive year. This will be the first opportunity for Seahawks fans to get a look at second-year quarterback Johnny Manziel, expected to start this year for

Cleveland.

The Seahawks will take on divisional rivals Arizona in the final game of the season. The Cardinals hold a 9-6 advantage over the Seahawks in games played in Arizona, however last year Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Seattle set a franchise record with 596

yards of offense during their Week 16 visit to Arizona.

After opening their season against the Rams, the Seahawks will then close out their home schedule against St. Louis. The Seahawks lead the series with the Rams 21-12, including a 12-1 record at CenturyLink Field. Last season, the two teams split their match-ups with each

squad winning at home.

The Seahawks head to Baltimore for the first time since 2003 for a match-up with the Ravens, who were defeated by the Super Bowl Champion Patriots in the Divisional round of last year’s playoffs. The Ravens will be led again this year by Joe Flacco, who in 2014 passed for a career

high 27 touchdowns and 3,986 yards.

The Hawks head to Minnesota the first week in December for their first match-up with the Vikings since 2013. This year, the Vikings are expected to be led by second-year Quarterback Terry Bridgewater, who made the All-Rookie team and was voted Pepsi Rookie of the Year by fans in 2014.

Seattle’s home opener this year features the Chicago Bears, a team the Seahawks have not faced since 2012 when they needed overtime to notch a 23-17 victory in Chicago. After a disappointing 2014, the Bears and new head coach John Fox have bolstered the team’s defense and are

looking to get back in the NFC North race.

The Detroit Lions made the playoffs last year for the first time since 2011 and hope to build on those gains with quarterback Matthew Stafford taking the snaps. Seattle has not faced Detroit since 2012, when in week 8 Stafford threw a TD pass with 20 seconds left to notch a 28-24 win

over the Hawks.

Led by Quarterback Andy Dalton the Cincinnati Bengals have now made the playoffs four years in a row . The Seahawks have not faced the Bengals since Dalton;s rookie year in 2011 when his Bengals picked up a 34-12 victory at CenturyLink Field.

At the beginning of last season, one of the hottest rivalries in football was the intra-divisional match-up of the Seahawks and 49ers, but 2014 proved to be a huge disappointment for the team as they missed the playoffs and saw the exit of head coach Jim Harbaugh at season’s end.

The Carolina Panthers return to CenturyLink Field for a rematch of last season’s divisional playoff game in which the Seahawks upended the upstart Panthers 31-17. The Panthers are led by Cam Newton, the first player in NFL history to have at least 3,000 passing

yards and 500 rushing yards in four consecutive seasons

The road back to a third consecutive Super Bowl will not be an easy one for the defending NFC champs. This sea-son, the Seahawks face the fourth most-difficult schedule of all teams in football. Seahawks opponents posted a .559 winning percentage in 2014.

The season gets under way Sept. 13 in San Francisco with the ultimate goal of getting back to Levi’s Stadium again for Super Bowl XLX on Feb. 7, 2016.

Like every summer, there will be a few new faces at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center for this summer’s Seahawks training camp, including two high-profile free agent signings and a handful of newly-drafted rookies looking to make an impact.

No move this offseason made more of an impact than the trade of tight end Jimmy Graham to the Seahawks for center Max Unger and a first-round pick in the 2015 draft. Graham, a three-time Pro Bowler who has spent the past four seasons with the New Orleans Saints is considered a

major upgrade at the position. Graham was ranked second among tight ends last year, pulling in 85 receptions for 889 yards and 10 touch-downs.

The vaunted Legion of Boom linebacking core also added a major signing this off-season that will only improve the league’s top-ranked defense. Cary Williams, who played last year with the Philadelphia Eagles, signed with the Seahawks in March

and is expected to start this fall. A Super Bowl Champion from his time with the Baltimore Ravens, Williams last year had 59 tackles and 2 interceptions. It is hoped that Williams will fill the loss of Byron Maxwell, who signed with the Eagles in the offseason.

Without a first-round pick in this year’s draft due to the Graham trade, the Seahawks waited until day two to make their first selection, Michigan defensive end Rank Clark. The 272-pound Clark is considered a disruptive presence as a pass rusher with explosive speed who racked up 19.5 tackles for a loss in his last 16 games as a Wolverine.

In the third round, the Seahawks looked to shore up their kick return game, as well as add some depth to the receiving corps, by selecting wide receiver Tyler Lockett out of Kansas State. Lockett is the school’s all-

time leader in receptions (249), receiving yards (3,710), receiving touchdowns (29), 100-yard receiving games (17) and kickoff return yards (2,196).

[ WORK from page S1] LOB helped the Seahawks to be the league’s highest-scoring defense for the third consecutive year and became only the fourth team in NFL history to lead the league in fewest points and yards allowed in back to back seasons, the first since the 1985-86 Monsters of the Midway Bears teams.

This year will see some changes in the Legion, how-ever, with Byron Maxwell leaving the Seahawks for the Philadel-phia Eagles and former Eagles cornerback Cary Williams taking his place.

On the other side of the ball, Wilson continued to develop as one of the premier passers in the league and Marshawn Lynch again established his dominance in the backfield.

On their own both Wil-son and Lynch are major threats, Lynch with his legs and sheer willpower and Wilson with his right arm and scrambler’s legs. Be-tween Lynch’s 1,306 yards and Wilson’s career-high 849 yards on the ground, the pair combined for more rushing yards than 27 other teams. TEAMS. And that’s before Robert Turbin’s gritty perfor-mances are factored in.

Known as “Beastmode,”

Lynch has a way of shaking off or simply running over opposing defenders, giving him more 100-yard rush-ing games and more rush-ing yards since 2011 than any other running back in the game. Last year, Lynch set a career-high with 17 touchdowns, including a league-leading 13 on the ground.

Meanwhile, when he wasn’t running past oppos-ing defense, “dangerRuss”

Wilson con-tinued his run up the record boards. So far, Wilson has 36 regular season wins, the most ever for a quar-terback in his first three years and his 42 wins

in the regular season and postseason combined best all other third-year players by at least six games and he has the fourth-highest passer rating in the league since 2012.

He led five game-winning drives last season alone and his 15 fourth-quarter comebacks rank first in the NFL since 2012.

And this year, with new tight end Jimmy Graham coming on board from the New Orleans Saints and second-round draft pick Tyler Lockett coming on board, Wilson has even more targets to choose from.

Wilson this summer said Graham looks “unbe-lievable” and said Lockett :looks great.”

As the team prepares to go back at it for the 2015 season, Carroll is once again stressing his “All about the ball” philosophy with the club and is relying on his veterans to help acclimate the new guys to the team’s culture.

“Our big thing is about coming back with the right attitude about mak-ing this a great team,” the coach said. “The way our guys have worked and the dedication they’ve demon-strated and the camarade-rie they’ve demonstrated makes me think we’re ready to have a great train-ing camp.”

“The things that hap-pened before we need to leave behind and move forward and we’ve done that,” he said.

The Seahawks get back to work on that one more yard on July 31.

Go Hawks.
