Pete Carroll will never dodge his play call, in the Super Bowl.  However, there are more important things on Carroll's mind, as the 2015 season starts.  The biggest concern is how will the Seahawks win the NFC West, for a third consecutive year.  The St. Louis Rams have used additional picks, from the trade with Washington to stockpile young talented players. Often injured Sam Bradford is no longer the quarterback.  The Rams traded for Nick Foles, who is coming off a broken collarbone.  However, the addition of Todd Gurley could solidify the running game.  

Carson Palmer is returning from a knee injury, in Arizona.  He hopes that he can continue were he left off last season.  The Cardinals defense willed them to a playoff berth, after a carousel of quarterbacks stood behind center.  Still a major concern is running back.  Andre Ellington is the starter, but can he handle the workload?  

The fiasco with Jim Harbaugh is over, and the San Francisco 49ers have moved on.  A suprise move to many, they named defensive line coach Jim Tomsula, head coach.  Nothing went right for the 49ers one year ago.  Chris Boreland looked to be a budding star but opted to retire, after one season.  Defensively, they are going to have to try and find an indentiy.  Offensively, long time running back Frank Gore has departed.  This opens the door for Carlos Hyde to be the primary back.  Will Tomsula work with Colin Kaepernick, or try to make him a pocket passer.  There are many questions surrounding the 49ers?

Finally, Jimmy Graham is the answer inside the red zone, according to Seattle Seahawk fans.  After back to back Super Bowl appearences, the Seahawks traded for one of the best tight ends, in the NFL.  The biggest loss is the person whom they traded, Max Unger.  Russell Wilson is a scrambling quarterback, but you still need to protect him.
