Hall of Famer, Steve Largent is my choice for best Seahawk of all time.. He played with courage and always seemed to come down with the ball in traffic even though he was physically smaller than most receivers. When he was playing he set numerous records which eventually got broken as Jerry Rice and others eventually passed him.. I am curious.. what do you guys think?

The Seattle Seahawks were one of the clear winners of the 2010 NFL Draft. The orginization knew going into the draft that their two biggest weaknesses were the vital left tackle position, and the defensive backfield. Seattle was able to address those needs in the first round by selecting left tackle Russell Okung out of Oklahoma State with the 6th pick and Earl Thomas, the saftey out of Texas with the 14th pick. Both Okung and Thomas were the top rated available players at their respective positions and may be have been the top remaining overall players at the time they were picked. Okung is a great athlete with long arms and should solidify the left tackle position for the next decade, much like the man he is replacing, future hall of famer Walter Jones. Earl Thomas is a ballhawking saftey who also has the ability to play corner. Many have compared Thomas’ ball skills to Ravens saftey Ed Reed. If Thomas is anything like Reed, the Seahawks will be pleased. In addition to their first two picks, the Seahawks were able to make other moves to improve their team over the weekend. In the 2nd round, the Seahwaks drafted Notre Dame reciever Golden Tate. Going into the draft, many thought Tate would be selected towards the end of the 1st round. The addition of Tate to an already solid group of wide recievers should help Seattle’s offense in a wide open NFC West. The final set of big moves by the Seahwaks over the weekend was the addition of two running backs through trade. First, the Seahwaks acquired Lendale White from the Titans. The acquisiton of White reunites him with his old college coach, Pete Carrol. In addition to White, the Seahawks also added speedy running back Leon Washington from the New York Jets. Washington is coming off of a major knee injury, but when fully healthy, can be a gamebreaker for the Seahawks. by Josh Weiner at the Sports Fan Blog Network Pete Carroll pumped his fist. He talked excitedly and forcefully. He chopped the air with his hands, commanding his new audience. Even though he had stepped back up into the NFL, he was still in charge — which is exactly why he’s in Seattle now instead of Southern California. “They have embraced my approach … in a manner in which they want to wipe the path clear and give me the clearest opportunity to bring everything that I have to offer. That’s really what I was looking for, the trust and belief from the top of the organization,” Carroll said a day after his public farewell from USC. “They don’t have an agenda of how they want their football played. They want me to do that. That’s exactly and precisely what I was looking for.” At 5 feet 8, Justin Forsett won’t stand out in a crowd. He is, however, more than capable of running his way through one. After surpassing 100 yards rushing twice in the past three games, Forsett has sprinted to the forefront of Seattle’s offense, yet coach Jim Mora isn’t quite ready to write Forsett’s name in permanent ink ahead of Julius Jones on Seattle’s depth chart. “Julius is our starting running back,” Mora said. “He’s our starting running back. That’s what he is.” For now. Forsett gained 123 yards against the Cardinals, 130 last week in St. Louis and has scored four of the Seahawks’ past six touchdowns. And for all that, what does the second-year back get? A pat on the back and an assurance he won’t be forgotten. “Justin’s earned the right to carry the ball off of what he did at Arizona and what he did this week,” Mora said. “So we’re going to make sure he gets touches.” Seattle Seahawks Mens Apparel and other Seahawks Apparel
Battered with broken ribs and humbled by a 2-4 start, Matt Hasselbeck sure could use some good news right now. Hasselbeck went to the Pro Bowl three times and the Super Bowl once with Bobby Engram as his wide receiver for most of this decade. They spent summer vacations together in Central Washington working out as their families played. Then Engram left for Kansas City in free agency last spring. Seattle Seahawks Sports Memorabilia
Fans will be delighted to see Marcus Trufant back on the field for the Seattle Seahawks against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Since the start of training camp, when he was sidelined with a vaguely defined back injury, Trufant was the invisible man. He was cloistered inside the facility; rehabbing, the staff said. Poor guy never saw the light of day, and he certainly didn’t get to watch practices or be much a part of the team. “I was like a ghost,” Trufant said Monday. “But I was in there grinding, working hard trying to get back.” Seattle Seahawks Sports Memorabilia Hall of Fame receiver Steve Largent said during a radio interview Tuesday that Redskins coach Jim Zorn considered resigning when owner Daniel Snyder decided Zorn would no longer call Washington’s plays. Zorn did consider resigning, Largent said, but ultimately decided not to quit on the team. “Yes, he did consider it, and no, he did not want to give up those responsibilities,” Largent told KJR, “but they went to the point of pulling out his contract and saying, ‘You have got to do whatever the owner tells you to do.’ …
