Help Wanted: Fresh, Healthy O-linemen
If you’re big, athletic, capable of pulling on traps and adept at pass blocking, Pete Carroll would like to hear from you.
The Seahawks are atop the NFC West, but the offensive line is also pacing the division in banged-up bodies, leaving Carroll and line coach Art Valero scrambling to find fresh, healthy faces before traveling to Oakland on Sunday.
LT Russell Okung is the latest...

Seahawks kick (and kick) past Cards to take NFC West lead
Style points be damned. The bottom line is all that matters, and in the Seahawks’ world, that line places them atop the NFC West.
Ten penalties, five sacks of Matt Hasselbeck and the loss of rookie LT Russell Okung weren’t enough to deter Seattle to forge their way past Arizona in a 22-10 win that improved them to 4-2 and sole possession of the division lead. As bad as...

Seahawks sack Bears en route to 23-20 win
That invisible pass rush that defined the Seahawks defense early in the season appeared early and often, much to the chagrin of Bears QB Jay Cutler.
Seattle recorded six sacks of Cutler as they relentlessly pounded him throughout Sunday’s 23-20 win that also saw the offense control the clock for a season-best 34:22 while amassing 342 yards.
The win improved the Seahawks to...

Seahawks ship Branch to Patriots
When head coach Pete Carroll excused Deion Branch from Monday’s practice, the winds of change began to whip.
Change became reality late Monday afternoon as the Seahawks traded the veteran wide receiver to the New England Patriots in exchange for a fourth round pick in next year’s draft. The deal opens the door for rookie Golden Tate to make his first career start at Chicago...

Seahawks finally acquire Lynch from Bills
Months of rumor became reality on Tuesday as the Seahawks finally acquired RB Marshawn Lynch from the Bills in exchange for a fourth round pick in next April’s draft and an undisclosed choice in 2012.
A two-time 1,000-yard rusher, Lynch became the odd man out in Buffalo as head coach Chan Gailey favored the combination of Fred Jackson and rookie C.J. Spiller. Lynch had 164...

Seahawks sleepwalk through 20-3 loss to Rams
When the most effective play of the day is a pass by your fullback, chances are your game didn’t end well.
Such was the case for the Seahawks, whose deficient tendencies were exposed in a 20-3 loss to the Rams that snapped their 10-game win streak over their fellow NFC West rivals. The loss also was the 18th in the last 21 road games for Seattle, which maintained a share of...

Week four scouting report: Seahawks-Rams
St. Louis’ special teams can’t be as bad as San Diego’s, which means the Seahawks can’t expect Leon Washington to run back two kickoffs for touchdowns in order to offset another uneven performance from the offense.
Perhaps today will be the game where the defense doesn’t stay on the field for nearly 40 minutes in the same manner it has in the first three...

Stokely highlights new acquisitions for Seahawks
Tuesday was anything but an off day for the Seahawks, who released three players while adding a trio of new faces, including veteran WR Brandon Stokley.
Recurring injuries to Mike Williams necessitated the decision to add Stokely, a 12-year veteran who played under Seattle offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates when the pair were in Denver during the 2008 season. Stokely pulled in 49...

Washington leads Seahawks on victorious crossing of Chargers
This is why the Seahawks pursued Leon Washington.
The fifth-round pick that it took to acquire Washington from the Jets last April looked more cheap after he returned a pair of kickoffs for touchdowns in Sunday’s 27-20 win over the Chargers, putting Seattle (yes, Virginia, Seattle) into a share of the NFC West lead with a 2-1 mark.
Washington’s historic performance overshadowed...

Week three scouting report: Chargers-Seahawks
Within the first eight quarters of the 2010 season lies the real Seahawks.
Is it the defensively-efficient, offensively-opportunistic unit that opened the Pete Carroll era with a dominating win over San Francisco?
Or is it the turnover-prone, lethargic squad that blindly gropped for straws in last week’s loss at Denver?
Sunday will give us a more definitive answer as a refocused...

Forsett looks for running start
The Seahawks have yet to discover an offensive identity. Justin Forsett would like to help change that.
Seattle’s running game remains a question mark, but Forsett’s 5.8 yard per carry average could be a harbinger of things to come. Sunday’s tilt against San Diego presents the third-year back with an opportunity to show coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator...

Tate’s future is Golden after solid debut
Golden Tate needed just one game to show why his future with the Seahawks will be bright.
Inactive in the team’s opening win against San Francisco, the rookie wideout made a solid first impression with his only three touches, pulling a 52-yard pass from Matt Hasselbeck and returning two punts for 82 yards in Sunday’s 31-14 loss to Denver. His first return resulted in...

Seahawks give away win to Broncos
Matt Hasselbeck was just as effective throwing to the Broncos as Kyle Orton was.
Thanks to Hasselbeck’s proficiency for finding open Denver defenders, Seattle self-destructed in a 31-14 loss on Sunday, evening their record to 1-1 in a effort that saw them scoreless in the first half and down 31-7 before Hasselbeck (!!!!) tapped into his inner Denard Robinson and ran for a 20...

Week Two scouting report: Seahawks-Broncos
If the Seahawks are to bolt out with the club’s first 2-0 start since 2oo6, they’ll need an encore performance from its patchwork offensive line while also neutralizing a young but talented Broncos receiving corps.
Oh: finding a run game would be a welcome goal as well.

Seahawks lose Unger for season
The Seahawks learned on Tuesday that RG Max Unger will miss the remainder of the 2010 season with a toe injury sustained in Sunday’s win over San Francisco.
Unger, who started all 16 games as a rookie last season, suffered the injury in the first quarter, but played through it. The club put the 6′5, 306-pounder from Oregon on the injured reserve list and re-signed OG...

What’s my line? Pretty banged-up
Is it possible that Walter Jones is interested in coming back to play?
Just wondering, because at this pace, the future Hall of Fame left tackle may get a phone call from Pete Carroll, and it won’t be to inquire about how life after football is treating him.
The already patchwork line took another hit on Monday when it was learned RG Max Unger will miss Sunday’s game...

Afterwards, Week One: Seahawks 31, 49ers 6
For about 20 minutes, the Seahawks looked like a team that had plenty of new faces, but a lot of the same results of the last two years.
Then it clicked. Really clicked.
And Pete Carroll left the field a winner in his return to the NFL.
His triumph of the spirit was due in part to a defense that had two red zone stops while the offense sputtered to 11 yards on their first seven plays...

…and so it begins.
The Seahawks have a new coach, attitude and — finally — a 53-man roster, albeit one that will take a lot of getting used to.
These aren’t your big brother’s Seahawks. Matt Hasselbeck is still there, but the days of Shaun Alexander, Walter Jones, Darrell Jackson and Grant Wistrom are gone. Long gone.

Sorry for Charlie: are Seahawks having doubts about Whitehurst?
Several league sources suggested the Seahawks are having buyer’s remorse on QB Charlie Whitehurst and will focus on the position during next April’s draft, which is expected to loaded with potential starters.
Whitehurst was acquired from San Diego in exchange for a second-round pick, but his play was maddeningly inconsistent throughout the exhibition season. The fifth...

For Seahawks, it’s just another Manic Monday
Don’t hold your breath, but the Seahawks may finally have their 53-man roster in place.
Like the last two days, the bulk of Monday was spent by keeping the revolving door in motion, as Seattle signed DE Raheem Brock and also welcomed back RB Julius Jones, who restructured his contract and returned to the squad a day after rampant reports of his being released.

Babineaux, Jones cut in latest roster upheaval
Pete Carroll promised to bring an air of change to the Seahawks locker room when hired in January. He hasn’t disappointed.
Seattle’s changing of the guard continued Sunday afternoon with the release of veteran RB Julius Jones and DB Jordan Babineaux, both of whom served as starters in 2009. The club also sent DT Kevin Vickerson out the door, along with popular FB Owen Schmitt...

Houshmandzadeh sent packing as Seahawks revamp WR corps
Rumor became reality as the Seahawks parted ways with veteran WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh on Saturday afternoon, one season after signing the former Pro Bowler to a five-year, $40 million deal.
Houshmandzadeh caught 79 passes for Seattle in 2009, but quickly ran out of favor with new head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates. He will, however, receive his guaranteed...

The same can’t be said for the likes of Jordan Babineaux, Quinton Ganther and Matt McCoy.
The latter trio will be among those Seahawks fighting for one of the 53 roster spots when cutdown day arrives on Friday...
