http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/2450 Recent articles about Walter Jones en-us Obviously the subject of Mike Holmgren as Seattle GM continues to be brought up. I can't get away from it, from Steve Kelley to Ian Furness to several commenters on this site. So regardless of whether or not we'd all like it to be a dead issue, there is a feeling out there that he's the best fit to take us back to respectability. Well... let's actually take a real peek at his record as GM from 1999-2002. Luckily, a lot of the heavy lifting has already been done for us, by ...

Jim Mora held his weekly press conference at 10 a.m., it would usually be done by about 10:45 and then there'd be a race to the media room to update the injury report.What's Walter Jones' status? How about Leroy Hill, did he have surgery on his injured groin? Which offensive lineman went down in Sunday's game? How's Matt Hasselbeck and his busted ribs.Today here...

I looked a little closer at those after the show concluded. Jones signed a seven-year contract after the 2004 season.For those who get sleepy when numbers get crunched, my apologies, but we're going to break out everything short of an abacus here. OK.

Coach Jim Mora said Wednesday the 35-year-old Jones still has pain that is “not bearable” in his surgically repaired left knee.

In the early days of this blog, I did a "Greatest Seahawk Ever" series, where readers could vote on a 64-player seeded bracket series of one-on-one battles to determine the best player in franchise history. Steve Largent won the popular vote over Jones in the final, but I made an impassioned argument for Big Walt: In my opinion, the BEST PLAYER IN SEAHAWKS HISTORY is Walter Jones. The P-I had a re...

Wednesday, during a press conference, it was announced that Jones has been placed on the injured reserve, ending his season.

A lot of questions will be answered already today like: Will Walter Jones be practicing? Will Locklear be back? What about Sims? Is McIntosh looking good during practice if Jones and Locklear are not practicing? As soon as those answers come we will give them to you.

In effect though, I think we can probably start coming to terms with the fact that Walter Jones is going to be done this year, if he isn't yet there. It was announced this morning that Walt will not be available until at least after the Bye for the Cowboys game on November 1. At that time, the Seahawks and Jones will assess where he's at and what will be done. My gut feeling is that Walter Jones will never again don a Seahawks uniform on game day, ...
