It really does. They blocked it at work and with the site redesign that I hate, I maybe visit there once a month. Don't miss it a bit.

I'll just be happy not fair catching everything regardless of a list.

They are probably basing this off last season's results. The ST was not very good last season...they cost the Seahawks a game. Maybe that weighed into the rankings.

ESPN also rated the Hawks last in under-25 talent.

Yeah I rarely go there anymore since they did their site re-design. It's so much harder to find the stuff I want to find. I don't miss it though.

Lockett will most likely emerge as one of the best returners in the league right away. Hauschka, Ryan and Gresham are all incredibly solid players who are at the very least in the top half of their position and of course the emphasis Pete places on ST. We have a great group of blockers and gunners as well.

We are at least top 10 in special teams. Although the 6th place on offense might actually be a bit too high.

Agreed. ESPN is becoming more and more a megacorp-sports-troll wolf in sports-entertainment sheep's clothing. Part of that is just the nature of "journalism" these days, but they've led the way in turning sports information and analysis into a clickbait free-for-all.

ESPN has a website?

That's what I was wondering. Well actually, my thought was "What's ESPN?"

What I find interesting about the list though, the best teams in the NFL are at the top of that list.

Entertainment, Social, & Propaganda, Network.

Nothing about in depth stories or research and valuable information regarding sports. Seattle is ESPN's fall guy :)

I honestly don't know if even a genius level statistician like Nate Silver could predict special teams rankings before the season. Special teams play is borderline random every year. So it's inevitable that ESPN's list would have some head scratchers.

LOL what a joke have they even watched our special teams this preseason so far? Tyler Lockett has looked like a game changer.

Once they got rid of their forums, there really wasn't much reason to go back there anymore.

That was a big reason to stay away in my opinion.
