Replacing Duckett
After all the anticipation and then excitement over the signing of Edgerrin James, the release of T.J. Duckett to clear a roster spot became an afterthought. But Duckett was a popular player with his teammates and a productive one in the limited role he filled during his only season with the team. Duckett scored eight [...]
Wednesday in Hawkville
A recap of the Seahawks’ Wednesday practice: PLAYER OF THE DAY Edgerrin James. With apologies to linebacker Leroy Hill, wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh and every member of the No. 1 defensive line, the edge goes to, well, Edge. The NFL’s leading rusher among active players practiced with the team for the first time, after signing [...]
Golfing on the Gridiron.
The Seahawks are the Pro-Am sponsor of this week’s Boeing Classic PGA Senior Tour event at TPC Snoqualmie, and pro Bruce Fleisher turned up at the VMAC to watch the team practice and to engage a few players in some golf. After watching the team practice for nearly two hours, Fleisher brought out some wedges [...]
Tuesday in Hawkville
A recap of the Seahawks’ Tuesday practice: PLAYER OF THE DAY Steve Vallos. With Chris Spencer out indefinitely with a tear in his left thigh muscle, Vallos was back where he finished last season – as the starting center.

Houshmandzadeh and rookie Deon Butler catching touchdowns while new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley’s squad stiffened in the red zone and forced turnovers. Long before the fans arrived, [...]
Seahawks vs. Broncos – Game at a Glance
A recap of the Seahawks’ 27-13 preseason victory over the Denver Broncos on Saturday night at Qwest Field: PLAYER OF THE GAME Matt Hasselbeck. The painful part was watching the Seahawks’ quarterback get sacked three times. But it’s what Hasselbeck was able to do when given enough time that made a much more positive impression. [...]
Seahawks vs. Broncos – 4th Quarter
Reed, who had a sack and an interception in the opener against the Chargers, continued to be a presence on the Broncos’ drive that spanned the end of the third quarter and the first 3½ minutes of the final quarter. The rookie from Oregon was penalized for going into the legs of Broncos QB Chris [...]
Seahawks vs. Broncos – 3rd Quarter
The Seahawks didn’t need long drives to pad their lead to 27-10, as the defense and special teams made plays that provided excellent field position. They struck quickly after intermission, when Brandon Coutu kicked a 22-yard field goal with 12:44 to play. The defense set up the score as cornerback Kelly Jennings forced a fumble [...]
