I read on Frank Hughes blog that DJ Hackett has a high ankle sprain and will be out for a while (a month or longer). I mentioned my man crush on Nate Burleson earlier, but Hackett was my man last season. He was always good for a clutch catch...
I always like to see the media’s reaction after the first game since that’s what 90% of the fanbase will be programmed to believe. The other 10% reads blogs. 🙂 Seattle P-I ran a lot of stories telling us how this defense “could be great,” and that the Hawks...
Overall: Very nice way to start the season. Tampa could end up being the easiest game on our schedule, and a loss would have raised serious doubts about our ability to contend this year. This was what I call an “arms-length” win. Even when the Bucs were up 6-0...
UPDATE: Just saw this posted on the wire. Confirmation that Pace is out of the year. FROM EARLIER:I heard on Fox Sports Radio this morning that “Rams insiders” have told Jay Glazer that they fear Pace is out for the season. How’s that for hearsay? I’m not above gossip....
Hasselbeck finished with an average of 9.3 yards per pass attempt in this first game. That’s a great barometer of passing efficiency. Consider for a second that the Hawks had only two games all of last season where the QB averaged more than 8 yards per attempt. We’re halfway...
1. Run defenseTampa’s offensive line is not dominant. Cadillac Williams is a tough runner, but won’t beat you by himself. As is the case in most Seahawks games, holding the Bucs under 100 yards rushing is paramount. Do that, and you pretty much have a win. 2. Borrow Jake...
I admit it. Nate Burleson is the apple of my eye. I tend to be big fan of those “off-broadway” players. The ones that are just outside of everyone’s focus or are facing a little adversity. Nate is getting more positive attention this year, but it was last year...
Just reviewing the Rams box score, and saw some things that jumped out at me: Dante Hall was brought in to spice up their return game. Looks like he had an 84-yard KO return, so that is something to be aware of. ZERO sacks. That’s right. The Rams brought...
I noticed that Orlando Pace had to leave the Rams game and did not return. It says here that it’s a bad shoulder sprain that is getting an MRI. Big news in the division. ADDED 8:17 PM: More details on the injury and teammates reactions here....
At least one national media pundit is going out on a big limb. Bill Simmons is from Seattle, so it should be taken with a grain of salt....
