The anticlimactic announcement Wednesday that future Hall of Fame left tackle Walter Jones will not play this season comes as no surprise. And it won’t be a surprise if he doesn’t play again after a remarkable 12-year run (1997-2008) during which he became one of the greatest linemen ever to play ...Published on: 23rd October, 2009
Just when we were getting comfortable with the fact that there wasn’t a worse owner in the NFL than Oakland’s Al Davis, along comes Washington’s Dan Snyder. Sure, Snyder has been at the bottom of the ownership barrel for some time, keeping company with the NFL’s dregs—Davis, Detroit’s William Clay Ford, ...Published on: 17th October, 2009
If you thought Seattle's game against Jacksonville last weekend was big, well, it was. But this one is even bigger. With a win over Arizona, the Seahawks can climb back to 3-3 heading into their bye, and basically reboot their season in Week Eight. With a win over the Cardinals, the Seahawks ...Published on: 15th October, 2009
A couple of years ago, the Seahawks made a deal with Cleveland for a quarterback after the season had begun. With the trade deadline coming Tuesday, might the Seahawks consider doing it again? Charlie Frye is no longer with the Hawks, but perhaps they can get a better quarterback from the ...Published on: 12th October, 2009
No one saw that coming. A 41-0 win over Jacksonville? And four touchdown passes from Matt Hasselbeck, playing with two broken ribs? It was just what the reeling Seahawks needed. They had to win, and they did it much more easily than anyone thought they could. It was Seattle's biggest margin of victory since the ...Published on: 26th September, 2009
Well, almost a week later, it doesn’t look any better for the Seahawks. As expected, they will be without quarterback Matt Hasselbeck (broken rib), tackle Sean Locklear (ankle), cornerback Josh Wilson (ankle), and linebacker Leroy Hill (groin). Linebacker Lofa Tatupu (hamstring) and fullback Justin Griffith (sprained knee) also are very unlikely ...Published on: 19th September, 2009
All right, the preseason is over. Now it’s time to play for the division lead. The Seahawks’ key NFC West game against San Francisco this weekend is expected to be a slugfest, with two improved defenses controlling the game. Seattle’s offense struggled to run the ball against St. Louis. The Hawks did ...Published on: 19th September, 2009
Jerry Jones has always been a league maverick, a new-guard owner operating on his own agenda and working to further his own desires.You can't blame him. He wants what's best for his team, and he does everything he can to get it. He doesn't always do things that are in ...Published on: 17th September, 2009
A disturbing trend has developed in Seahawk Land over the last few years, and it has continued this year. It’s the Curse of the Cash, the Bane of the Booty, the Payday Plague. Since 2004, almost every Seahawk who has received a monster contract has missed a good chunk of time ...Published on: 13th September, 2009
It’s a good thing the Seahawks get a fifth preseason game, because they have a lot of unsettled issues as the season begins. The Hawks couldn’t have asked for a better first game than to play the St. Louis Rams at Qwest Field (unless it was the Detroit Lions, of course). Both ...
