Both teams had a fairly quiet offseason, both only signing only one or two outright starters each. The rest of the signings for both teams have mainly been rookies and players to beef up the depth chart. Both teams will mainly use the next four weeks to evaluate which players will be worthy of making the final 53-man roster and to fine tune any changes to the offensive and defensive playbook.

Both teams have made some changes to the coaching staff in the offseason. The most notable for the Seahawks is the change in defensive coordinator, former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is now the new head coach for the Atlanta Falcons. New defensive coordinator Kris Richard has been with the Seahawks for the past three seasons as the defensive backs coach, so he knows the defense and the players already.
The Denver Broncos have a new head coach, offensive and defensive coordinators. We all know that Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning is the real offensive coordinator of the team, making new ‘Coordinator’ Rick Dennison more of an assistant to Manning. The main thing for the Broncos team this offseason will be learning new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips’ defense.
With all this in mind there are plenty of things for the fans to keep an eye on. Here are three things for the ’12’s’ to look out for.
