Seahawks Team Report
(Tue, 02 Dec 2008 04:19:51 PST)

At 2-10, the Seattle Seahawks have finally shown a crack in the foundation.

After dropping a 34-9 decision to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, several defensive players questioned the schemes of defensive coordinator John Marshall, who came out against Tony Romo in a zone and did nothing to offer additional pressure.

Not until the second quarter did Marshall begin to send blitzes, as which time Romo was bothered and did not achieve as much success. But by that time, the Seahawks were down 24-3 and there was nothing they could do to get back in the game.

"Pressure busts pipes; that is anybody," linebacker Julian Peterson said. "I don't care what kind of quarterback you got back there.

Cowboys hope to keep refining defense vs. Seahawks
(Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:55:04 PST)
When Tony Romo broke his pinkie, the Dallas Cowboys soon discovered a weakness that went far beyond bumbling backup quarterbacks. Believe it or not, Romo's absence exposed the Dallas defense. Throughout last season and the early part of this year, Cowboys defenders fell into the habit of being the supporting cast for Romo, Terrell Owens and crew.

Seahawks add Williams, release Putzier
(Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:28:04 PST)

Hasselbeck is NFL's lowest-rated passer
(Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:02:27 PST)
First, it was his back. Then, Matt Hasselbeck's knee, followed by blows to the head. Now, it's the one thing he and the Seahawks have relied upon for most of this decade: his passing. Yes, Hasselbeck has had better years. He can't even take comfort by dreaming of Hawaii, where he went to play in the Pro Bowl for the third time last February.

Zorn's a hit in Washington, missed in Seattle
(Sun, 23 Nov 2008 00:01:31 PST)
Mike Holmgren looked at Jim Zorn, then looked at the Slip-n-Slide Zorn had brought onto the Seahawks practice field for the first time a few years ago. Of course, the Seahawks coach asked his quarterbacks coach: Why is star quarterback Matt Hasselbeck using a summer kids toy and a garden hose on my field?

Hasselbeck returns to practice
(Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:03:17 PST)
Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck returned practice after sitting out a day and appears to be on track to start against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. "I thought it went OK today, it was a step," Hasselbeck said Thursday. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback missed Wednesday's practice, taking an extra day to recover from his first game back in six weeks -- a loss to the Arizona Cardinals on...

Zorn thinks Holmgren will return to football
(Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:11:44 PST)
Add Jim Zorn to the list of people who think Mike Holmgren won't be able to stay away from football. The Washington Redskins coach, who worked for Holmgren for seven years as Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach, said his old boss has contributed too much to the game to just walk away. "He's one of those guys, much like Bill Walsh, when he is done, there's a history there of influence that actually...

Seattle doesn't evoke fond memories for Redskins
(Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:29:46 PST)
Jim Zorn has warm and fuzzy memories of Seattle, a place he called home for decades. For the most of his Washington Redskins players, thoughts of the city include a couple of playoff nightmares. -- Jan. 14, 2006: Seahawks 20, Redskins 10, second round. -- Jan. 5, 2008: Seahawks 35, Redskins 14, first round.

No longer 'The Man,' Alexander returns to Seattle
(Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:53:57 PST)
Shaun Alexander's recent career trajectory has resembled a bungee jump: Straight down. In just three years, the Seahawks' former franchise running back went from MVP to "Where is he?" Perhaps the most accomplished third stringer in the NFL, Alexander hopes to make the most of any opportunity when he returns to Seattle with the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

Holmgren 'calm' amid last, losing days
(Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:08:02 PST)
RENTON, Wash. -- For the first time in 17 years as an NFL head coach, Mike Holmgren doesn't have an answer. For the first time since the early 1970s, before he began coaching high school freshmen in San Francisco, he doesn't need one. It's an odd, unknown world for the 60-year-old Holmgren. He realizes he has no say in the Seahawks' evaluation of these final six games, with Seattle out of the...
