Pre-Snap Reads 5/11: Happy NFL Schedule Release Day!

Okay. So, how excited are you for the schedule to be released today?? Me, very much so. As a recent transplant to Dallas, Texas, I am looking forward to seeing our Seattle Seahawks playing live in Jerry’s World. And don’t forget, at some point (maybe multiple points) this season our ‘Hawks will be rocking the silver helmets and augmented old-school jerseys of days gone Krieg. Very exciting. You agree? What games are you juiced for? Which of you are planning to attend an away game or two? (Besides the 49ers) Which opponent are you dreading? Schedule release at 5pm PST today! Let’s go, ‘Hawks!
