The Seattle Seahawks made a number of surprising moves Saturday to get down to the roster limit of 53. Early in the day, word came that they had cut starting safety Brian Russell and signed 35-year-old safety Lawyer Milloy, who played for coach Jim Mora in Atlanta in 2006. Adding to that ...Published on: 5th September, 2009
With rosters due to be set at 53 by Saturday, the Seahawks still need to decide on a kicker and then figure out what to do with nine other guys on the bubble. It all depends on (1) whether they put injured cornerback Marcus Trufant on the PUP for the first ...Published on: 2nd September, 2009
It’s easy to understand why some people are clamoring for the Seahawks to cut receiver Deion Branch, who has been an injury-plagued bust since Tim Ruskell traded a first-round pick for him in 2006. Branch has played in only 33 of 47 possible games in that time, and the Hawks have ...Published on: 1st September, 2009
In an interview with KJR-AM recently, Mike Holmgren admitted what most people suspected but what he had not actually said yet: His first choice next year would be to return as a coach AND general manager of an NFL team.

Observations from the second pre-season game … **This is not Mike Holmgren’s West Coast offense. Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp is showing a lot of creativity and flexibility. He obviously plans to use the shotgun extensively, and the Hawks showed a repertoire of trick plays, deep passes, and screen passes against Denver. The end-around ...Published on: 17th August, 2009
Observations from the Seattle Seahawks' first preseason game: It was great to see Matt Hasselbeck at quarterback again. He completed 3 of 5 passes, but one of the incompletions was a third-down drop by tight end John Carlson. Seneca Wallace fans will again bang the drum for him to start, simply ...Published on: 13th August, 2009
Although it was a bit of a surprise to see Michael Vick sign with the Philadelphia Eagles, they are probably one of the best options for a quarterback who is trying to make his way back into the NFL after two years in prison. The Eagles have the luxury of bringing ...Published on: 8th August, 2009
Heading into the draft in April, Aaron Curry was considered by many to be the surest pick of all—the no-brainer, all-around-nice-guy, do-everything linebacker who could help anchor a team’s defense for a decade. And when the Seattle Seahawks were able to get him with the fourth pick, they had to feel ...
