RENTON, Wash. -- When the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl after the 2013 season, they created a roster with depth no one else in the NFL could match.Ask around, and the Seahawks believe theyve constructed a roster entering this camp with the talent and depth to rival that championship squad.I think its going to be one of our most competitive camps, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. This is a chance for us to have a roster that reminds us of a couple years back and hopefully itll play out that way.The Seahawks begin training camp on July 30 with relatively few questions. There is no Super Bowl hangover like last season lingering over the franchise. There arent contract disputes or huge injury concerns.Yes, there are questions about the offensive line and when a couple of key offensive players will be ready. But for the most part, its been a mostly quiet offseason from one of the presumptive favorites in the NFC.Once you have kind of been here for a while you kind of know. We know how we want to approach practice. We know how we want to take advantage of every opportunity that we have had, Seattle QB Russell Wilson said. We also know what it takes to win a lot of games.Heres what to watch as the Seahawks open camp:HARD TO IMAGINE: Once again the offensive line is forefront among Seattles biggest questions entering camp. Last year, the Seahawks made significant changes two weeks into camp and the fallout from those changes never settled until the midpoint of the season when Drew Nowak was replaced at center by Patrick Lewis.The Seahawks spent the offseason again tinkering with their offensive line, but this time it was by necessity after losing Russell Okung and J.R. Sweezy in free agency.First-round pick Germain Ifedi and newly acquired JMarcus Webb are slated to be the right side of the line with Garry Gilliam and Mark Glowinski on the left side.The question is whether Justin Britt can make the move from guard to center and play his third position in three years or if the Seahawks will be scraping their plans again just weeks before the start of the regular season.ON THE MEND: Running back Thomas Rawls and tight end Jimmy Graham are both trying to work back from significant injuries that ended their 2015 seasons early. It was expected that Grahams recovery from a torn patellar tendon would take longer than Rawls broken ankle, but Carroll surprised many at the end of minicamp by saying Graham was ahead of Rawls in the rehab process.The importance for Seattle is getting both back healthy as each is expected to play significant roles in the Seahawks offensive success. Rawls was a breakout star last year filling in for Marshawn Lynch while Grahams role in the offense finally started clicking just before his injury.BETTER MAN: The one position battle of significance for Seattle is at strongside linebacker after losing Bruce Irvin in free agency. Irvin was known mostly as a pass rusher, but became a critical part of Seattles success at stopping the run because of his ability to hold the edge playing on the line of scrimmage.Veteran Mike Morgan has the most experience at the position. Cassius Marsh might have the best physical traits to be used the same way as Irvin was. Kevin Pierre-Louis is also an option because of his athleticism. The wild card in the scenario could be Frank Clark if Seattle decides they want him on the field more. Clark played just on the defensive line last season, but slimmed down in the offseason.SOMETHING IN RESERVE: Is Seattle ready to move forward with an inexperienced backup to Russell Wilson? Thats a major question to be solved in training camp as undrafted rookie Trevone Boykin would be the presumptive backup to Wilson at this point. Expect them to bring in a veteran to compete for the backup job.MIND YOUR MANNERS: Last year, the Seahawks were blindsided by safety Kam Chancellors decision to hold out for a new contract. The move backfired and may have tempered thoughts of any other Seahawks under contract of following a similar path. Defensive end Michael Bennett has been the most vocal -- and most deserving -- of getting a new deal, but he still has two years remaining and the Seahawks have remained averse to setting that precedent.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Martin Jones Jersey .

This story appears in ESPN The Magazines October 31 NBA Preview Issue. Subscribe today!ITS JAN. 28, 2011. Doc Rivers powerhouse Celtics, featuring a Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, are seven months removed from their second Finals in three years. Theyre 35 -- 10 on the season, winners of seven of their past eight, and visiting the 20 -- 24 Suns. Prediction: blowout.From the start, though, the Celtics stumble in startling fashion. Garnett throws a pass to no one, then gets tossed for striking Suns forward Channing Frye in the groin. Boston shoots a season-worst 34.2 percent against one of the NBAs worst defenses. The Suns roll 88-71.Rivers, incensed, rides out most of the game from the visiting locker room after being ejected for jawing at the officials. Watching it all unfold, he wonders, Jesus Christ, was the whole team drinking last night? But the Celtics longtime trainer, Ed Lacerte, has another theory: We should see the sleep doctor. This is the game he pointed to.The sleep doctor was Dr. Charles Czeisler, the director of the Sleep Health Institute at Brigham and Womens Hospital and of sleep medicine at Harvard Medical School, whom Rivers had consulted before the season, asking him to identify trouble spots on the schedule. Czeisler noted that the Celtics would be flying into Phoenix after facing the Trail Blazers in Portland the night before -- and Cleveland in Boston two nights before that. With so much travel across so many time zones in just three days, your instincts will be bad, he said. Itll be like playing drunken basketball. You will not win this game.After the loss, Rivers realizes that Czeisler was right and that its time to start adjusting routines. He calls his Big Three into the office: Were changing, immediately.The players push back. They like their routines. This is what we do! Garnett says.Replies Rivers: Well, were not doing it anymore.EVERY SEASON, NBA teams are forced to play games that, as Rivers learned in 2011, are all but unwinnable -- not because of the opponent but because of how the schedule unfolds leading up to them. In many organizations, these games are actually referred to as scheduled losses. Says Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau: Sometimes the schedule can get you. That happens.Spurs coach Gregg Popovich circles these problem games on the schedule and prescribes the one cure for them: rest. The guys appreciate it, he says, and it makes them even more committed to the program because they know youre taking care of them and theyre not just a piece of meat that youre going to use to win and move on.Current Celtics coach Brad Stevens, who has consulted numerous sleep experts, says he has received similar advice. Its very point-blank -- like, this schedule is not great for sleep. But the bottom line is the schedule hasnt changed, its not going to change, so how do you manage it the best you can? Thats why when the schedule comes out, for me, I go through the whole thing that day and plan the whole year and think about it.And now so can you. To identify the NBA games in which its not one team against another but one team against the schedule, ESPN enlisted multiple experts, including sleep doctors who consult with NBA teams. In partnership with ESPN Stats & Information, they ranked the seasons 488 back-to-back games on several factors, such as whether the game is home or away, the time elapsed between tip-offs (including hours lost from flying east), how rested the opponent is from play orr travel and whether its part of a longer run of four games in five nights, or five games in seven.dddddddddddd The result: There are 42 games in the 2016-17 season in which the schedule creates a distinct competitive disadvantage for one team. The seven most extreme cases are identified below. Were calling them schedule alert games.Does it work? Cheri Mah, sleep consultant to NBA teams and a research fellow at the UC San Francisco Human Performance Center, helped construct the formula. Last season, using a similar formula, her system correctly picked losers with up to 78 percent accuracy. Those predictions were blind to the quality of the teams -- showing how strong the impact of back-to-back games is. The reality is, if I could craft an NBA season, Mah says, it would not have back-to-backs.TODAY, RIVERS IS keenly aware of which games are unwinnable -- so much so that hes actually considered the once-unthinkable: forfeiting. Rivers, now the Clippers coach, recalls that LA was scheduled in 2014 for back-to-back games, the second on the road, immediately following a seven-game road trip. I contemplated keeping the team home, literally, Rivers says. We knew we were walking into getting our ass kicked, and thats what happened.What is it they say? If you have less than five hours of sleep for three days in a row, your reactions are that of a legally drunk driver? Weve seen that with our own eyes.Schedule alert!Do you like to prepare mentally for your favorite NBA teams losses, even months ahead of time? Then this is for you! With the aid of sleep scientists, weve devised a formula to identify the seasons schedule alert games-those that are the most unwinnable because of the schedules travel impact and resulting fatigue issues. Heres an exhaustive look at the season.Mah Score is based on eight fatigue factors, ranges from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating greater disadvantage.1. 11/29: Hornets (Pistons): 8.5 Mah score Leaving Memphis, the Hornets lose an hour flying home-and less than 24 hours later cap a four games-in-five-days stretch vs. the rough-and-tumble Pistons.2. 12/3: Lakers (Grizzlies): 8.5 A back-to-back for LA starting in Toronto means a late trip through customs and no rest. Even tougher: This next game is the fourth in five nights-all on the road.3. 12/6: Bulls (vs. Pistons): 9.5 Chicago, in the closest thing to certain schedule defeat, loses an hour in the air heading to Detroit -- plus the haul toward Auburn Hills, Michigan -- after playing Portland at home, to cap a four-in-five run.4. 12/11: Warriors (Timberwolves): 8.5 This is a genuine test for Golden State, its fourth road game in five nights after playing in Memphis the night before. Plus: an early 6 p.m. start vs. a young team.5. 2/4: Denver (Spurs): 8.5 After facing Milwaukee at home, Denver loses an hour heading East, only to cap a four-in-five against the Spurs, who have a one-day recovery edge.6. 3/11: Wizards (Trail Blazers): 8.5 Capping not just a four-in-five but a five-in-seven stretch, this road game comes against a Blazers team that will have a one-day rest advantage.7. 3/15: Trail Blazers (Spurs): 8.5 For Portland, this marks the third road game of a five-game trip, the fourth game in five nights, the fifth in seven ... and its against the Spurs.
