Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com recently wrote an article criticizing wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh’s performance week one against St. Louis.

THREE KEYS TO VICTORY:
Contain Steven Jackson.
Steven Jackson is a talented running back, no question. He is also the focal point of a Rams offense that doesn’t feature much else.
For this reason, it will be important for Seattle to limit Jackson’s touches and prevent him from...

A second dose of homer optimism:
The Arizona Cardinals will not repeat as NFC West champions.
And they won’t even be close.
Although I’m not a huge believer in curses, the Cardinals have a lot going against them this season. They lost the Super Bowl, and the Super Bowl loser typically...

Later today, the Seahawks will have to cut their roster down to the 53 players. The final decision will be especially difficult this year, because so many late-round and undrafted rookies have performed so well through the preseason and training camp.

Speculation has started that Deion Branch, 30 years old and recovering from knee surgery, will be one of several cuts made by Seattle in the next week or so.
The Seahawks added T.J. Houshmandzadeh in free agency and drafted Deon Butler in the third round of last April’s NFL Draft...

Well, it appears that most of the other Seahawks blogs have adopted a similar format to recapping each preseason game, so I’ll try my best to keep this as “original” as possible.
