Time to Cut Ties

The once proud Seahawks, who made the Super Bowl just four years ago, are fluttering in a suddenly wide open NFC West. The only thing this squad has going for them right now is T.J. Houshmanzadeh. That’s about it. Matt Hasselbeck’s time as a Seahawk is over. It’s time to get this guy out and bring in someone else capable of leading, similar to what the Panthers did with Jake Delhomme. Charlie Whitehurst is not that guy. I like their receivers. Golden Tate, the rookie out of Notre Dame, could impress if he had the right guy to throw him the ball. The same goes for Deion Branch, T.J., all of them.

Seattle’s defense, particularly their pass defense, was dreadful last year. Not much will be different this year either. However, it could improve slightly this year due to the lack of offensive firepower in other teams within the division.

The bottom line remains, until Hasselbeck is gone, the Seahawks will remain a terrible team. They finish 6-10 this year, good enough for third in the NFC West.

Steve Largent best Seahawk of all time?

sportsfan1 — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 23:16:40 +0000

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?

Carrol,Seahwaks Hit Homerun In Draft

jmw24 — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:13:35 +0000

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.

Seahawks introduce new coach Carroll

GameSetMatch — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:13:30 +0000

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.

The charismatic Carroll took over as the new coach and executive vice president of the Seahawks on Tuesday, enthusiastically seizing an authority that he says mirrors the latitude USC gave him to restore its dynasty.

“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.”

Forsett Has Been Impressive, But Injured Julius Jones Remains Seahawks’ No. 1 Running Back

TheHockeyGuy — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:48:52 +0000

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.

Jones hasn’t played since suffering a bruised lung in the first quarter of Seattle’s game at Arizona on Nov. 15. He was coughing up blood as recently as last week, and all that has happened over the past three games is the Seahawks have logged two of their three highest rushing totals of the season.

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.”

Hasselbeck and Seahawks search for good news before heading to Dallas

GameSetMatch — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:04:32 +0000

Battered with broken ribs and humbled by a 2-4 start, Matt Hasselbeck sure could use some good news right now.

This season has been so ragged for the Seahawks, the quarterback nodded and joked of last weekend’s bye: “That’s a good matchup for us.”

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.

Trufant working his way back onto field

GameSetMatch — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:52:54 +0000

Fans will be delighted to see Marcus Trufant back on the field for the Seattle Seahawks against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

A lot of the rest of us are just pleased to see that he still exists.

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.”
