Seahawks vs. Broncos – 2nd Quarter
Orton continued his hot-handed ways, in part because the Seahawks were able to generate enough pressure on the Broncos’ passer. Orton smartly moved Denver from its own 13 to the Seahawks’ 1-yard line with less than three minutes left in the half. But the Seahawks got a little bit of luck and a couple of [...]
Seahawks vs. Broncos – 1st Quarter
In the first 15 minutes, a pair of 8’s trumped anything either defense could throw at them. Matt Hasselbeck staked the Seahawks to a 7-0 lead with a perfectly thrown pass to rookie wide receiver Deon Butler for a 34-yard touchdown. On the eight-play, 70-yards drive, the Seahawks’ No. 8 – Hasselbeck – completed 4 [...]

Shirt tales
New head coach. New coordinators. New site for training camp. Several new players. Renewed outlook for the new season. New job for yours truly.

Successful surgery for Jones
Walter Jones, the Seahawks’ Pro Bowl left tackle, had loose bodies and scar tissue removed from his left knee this morning during an arthroscopic procedure performed by Dr. Ed Khalfayan in Seattle. The procedure was deemed a success, and the results matched what the team’s medical staff was expecting to find in the same knee [...]
Camp Mora: Day 21 (a.m. report)

The morning session lasted only 75 minutes, but the second-year defensive tackle made the most of his reduced opportunities.

Neither practiced, but coach Jim Mora did provide updates on the condition of the injured Pro Bowl tandem. Jones is scheduled to have an arthroscopic procedure Thursday morning on his left knee at the Seattle [...]
Rootin’ Ryan
Jon Ryan is in a zone. He’s the only punter in the Seahawks’ training camp, and the former Winnipeg Blue Bomber and Green Bay Packer is displaying why there was no need to add another. In Saturday night’s preseason opener against the Chargers in San Diego, Ryan averaged 52.4 yards on eight punts, with a [...]
Camp Mora: Day 19 (p.m. report)
A recap of the Seahawks’ Tuesday night practice that was held at Husky Stadium: PLAYER OF THE DAY Kelly Jennings. The fourth-year cornerback would just as soon forget last season, when he lost his confidence and then his starting job. His play this evening was definitely a giant step in that direction. “Last year went [...]
