Sidney Rice says Vikings didn’t call him to negotiate
The best way Sidney Rice can illustrate why he’s no longer a Minnesota Viking is by showing his call history from late July.
Seattle area codes kept lighting up his cell phone at the start of free agency. First it was Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. Then general manager John Schneider, followed by offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and even defensive coordinator Gus Bradley...

Seahawks Camp Carroll: The final day
A recap of the Seahawks’ final training camp practice on Thursday:FOCUS ONThe obvious. It’s the end of camp, which was like none in franchise history – or league history, for that matter – because of the condensed schedule and hurry-up feeling following the 136-day lockout.“This happened way too fast,” coach Pete Carroll said after the final two-hour practice. “Every...

Going Deep: A Look at the Seahawks Wide Receivers
Thursday’s preseason opener definitely wasn’t the best display of athletic ability or the most polished performance we have ever seen, but there were a few areas that did raise some eyebrows. One thing that impressed me in particular was the play of the wide receivers, more specifically the young guys.
It is no secret that the wide receiver position has been somewhat...

Seahawks going young on offense
The Seattle Seahawks have the youngest projected offensive starters in the NFL for 2011 based on my calculations. Some starting jobs around the league have not yet been won or lost, so there is some projection involved. But the big picture will not change much.
The Seahawks are heading toward the 2011 opener with left guard Robert Gallery as the only projected offensive starter...

Pete Carroll: Starters to play whole first half Saturday

Carroll announced his plans for Jackson and most of the other...

QB impressed by rookie WR Doug Baldwin
With so many big names and so much talent in the Seahawks’ group of wide receivers, it’s understandable that a diminutive, unheralded rookie could go unnoticed by most fans.
But Doug Baldwin has caught the eye of one Seahawks beat writer.
“He looks real comfortable out in the field. A real polished route runner,” Eric Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune...

Did Charlie Whitehurst get a “RAW” deal?
It’s interesting that Pete Carroll will be at the University Book Store tonight at 7, signing paperback copies of his book, “Win Forever.”
I say it’s interesting because one of the concepts in “Win Forever” is “always compete.” Carroll is big on competition, wanting players to relentlessly battle for starting spots. If you’re...

How an NFL receiver fired up NASCAR’s drivers
Seattle Seahawks receiver Golden Tate still isn’t sure if race car drivers are athletes, but at least now he’s willing to check it out.
He echoed the feelings of other stick-and-ball players by questioning whether NASCAR drivers should be included for athletic awards, especially when Jimmie Johnson won AP’s athlete of the year for 2010 and was a finalist for the...

Leroy Hill returns to the scene of his “CRIME”, ahem “Prime”
After 30 months of injuries, indiscretions and uncertainty, linebacker Leroy Hill not only is back with the Seahawks, he’s back at the starting weakside spot where he made so many plays earlier in his career.
Discussing Leroy Hill’s current situation with the Seahawks quickly turns into a conversation punctuated with lot of laughs and even more smiles.
And it’s...

Pete Carroll why Tavaris Jackson?
Perhaps Pete Carroll should have laminated cards made he could hand out to explain why he is going with just-acquired Tarvaris Jackson as the Seahawks’ starting quarterback over incumbent backup Charlie Whitehurst.
After the preseason opener against the Chargers last Thursday night, a reporter from San Diego asked Carroll, Jackson and Whitehurst about the “competition...

Charlie Whitehurst remains a mystery
It has been said the backup quarterback is the most popular player among fans.
That just hasn’t been said in Seattle. At least not since Charlie Whitehurst arrived last year.
That’s not to say there aren’t people who believe in him. The crowd chanted his name after he scrambled for a touchdown in a fourth-quarter relief appearance during the Seahawks’ home...

Seahawks LB Curry ready to live up to expectations?
High expectations come with high draft picks, especially when you’re the highest-picked player at your position in nearly a decade.
That’s what happened to Wake Forest outside linebacker Aaron Curry when the Seattle Seahawks selected him fourth overall in the 2009 draft.
Not since Penn State’s LaVar Arrington was taken second overall by the Washington Redskins...

Time to bring back Lofa Tatupu?
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll isn’t ruling out the possibility of linebacker Lofa Tatupu returning to the team.
“We talked that way when he left, you know, that you never know what’s going to happen here. We kind of laughed about that — the reality of the possibility,” Carroll told Mike Salk and Dave Wyman on Tuesday. “So, we’ll see how it...

Need meets desire
After four seasons in the CFL, Brandon Browner wanted another shot at the NFL. The Seahawks are giving him the opportunity and the 6-foot-4 cornerback is making the most of it.
The Seahawks were looking to get bigger at the cornerback position. Brandon Browner was looking to get back in the NFL after spending four seasons in the CFL.

Earl Thomas is taking the danger out of his safety job
For a player with Earl Thomas’ talent, the football field must seem like an open highway without a speed limit. He can do anything out there. He puts the “elect” in electric; thrills are always on his ballot.
It’s his greatest gift.
And it’s his biggest flaw.
In organized team sports, unrestrained talent presents a paradox. Every team wants the most...

When push comes to shove: “BEAST MODE”
As Marshawn Lynch was breaking his electrifying 67-yard TD run against the Saints to ice the wild-card playoff win in January, the signature play included his signature in-your-face move.
Just how good is Marshawn Lynch’s stiff-arm?
Just ask Tracy Porter, the Saints’ cornerback who Lynch deposited on his backside with a just-as-quick-as-it-powerful thrust of his left...

Tom Cable has Seahawks picking up the pace
Hurry up now. No time to waste. Not with Tom Cable coaching Seattle’s offensive line this season.
He demands everything be done on the hop, and that includes a trip to the water cooler during a break.
“We go very fast,” center Max Unger said.
That’s because Seattle has a long way to go, and a short time to get there. The Seahawks are three weeks deep into...

Just as he did twice last season, Tyler Polumbus is stepping in at left tackle for the Seahawks while Russell Okung is sidelined with a sprained ankle.
Tyler Polumbus has been here before.
