Late After-Game Report #3

The Seahawks did play better, as Coach Mora promised.  They displayed better team effort and had less errors, physical and mental, than the previous game. Statistically, they won the game–more 1st downs, more 3rd down conversions, greater net yards + running yards + passing yards.  The key of the game was that Chicago made their [...]

Gut reaction to Game #2

Where did this team come from?!!??
Vallos snapping balls over the QB or two inches off the ground?  Unger getting a whistle for holding?  Matt getting injured?  Housh missing a catch? Carlson being called for a false start? Sloppy play by both the offense and the defense? Frye is playing?  Burleson dropping passes? The disappearance of [...]

The KC game is important for the starters as it will be their final preseason tuneup.  For the rest of the players, it’s time to make [...]

About Unger & Other Notes

Clare Farnsworth has this great article about the second unit linebackers [Will Herring, David Hawthorne (Heater), DD Lewis, and Lance Laury] and how well they’ve been playing.
Eric Williams of seahawksinsider notes that Coach Knapp has decided to use Unger at Guard and not Center.  Knapp feels that Vallos is the man for that position.  He [...]

Edgerrin James the Newest Seahawk?

Wow! I have to admit I did not give this rumor much credence given Coach Mora’s stated support of the the current group of RBs Jones, Duckett, and Forsett.
I have mixed feelings about this prior to this morning’s scheduled press conference.
I think Duckett is getting shafted to large degree if this turns out [...]

Having a Good Camp

Coach Mora – I’ve been quite impressed with him so far.  He has definitely shaken up the usual routine for the ‘Hawks this year, with new coaches, philosophies, training routines, and most noticeably increasing the pace of practice on the field.  I liked the way he kept his head down & mouth shut last year [...]
