‘Dirtbag’ connections
Jim Mora’s comments last week about wanting more “dirtbags” on his offensive line did not go unnoticed – in the locker room, and beyond. Way beyond. Monday, a box arrived for the Seahawks’ head coach from Dirtbag Music Records in San Diego. It contained hats, stickers, key chains, lanyards and “a really nice note,” Mora [...]
Tuesday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities: FOCUS ON Colin Cole. Sunday’s game against the Packers in Green Bay isn’t just another game for the Seahawks’ nose tackle. That’s because Cole played the past five seasons with the Packers before signing with Seattle in free agency. “This is the most significant insignificant game of the year,” [...]
Up next: Green Bay Packers
When: Sunday, 10 a.m., Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wis. Record: 9-5 after losing 37-36 to the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday, but still the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoff picture. Where they rank: No. 6 on offense (15th rushing, 8th passing); No. 2 on defense (2nd rushing, 11th passing) Series: Packers lead 7-5 [...]
Monday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities: FOCUS ON The long snapper. And we’re not talking Kelly Jennings, the cornerback who had to handle a third-quarter snap in Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No, it’s Kevin Houser, the intended snapper who got a collapsed lung during the game and had to spend the night [...]
Monday morning QB
A look back and a look ahead to the week that was and the week that will be for the Seahawks: Anatomy of a 24-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday John Carlson’s resurgent hands: The Seahawks have scored two touchdowns the past two games, both by Carlson. His lunge to the pylon [...]
Game at a glance
A recap of the Seahawks’ 24-7 loss to the Buccaneers at Qwest Field on Sunday: PLAYER OF THE GAME Make it plural, and make it Freeman-to-Winslow. That’s rookie QB Josh Freeman passing to tight end Kellen Winslow. Six times. For 93 yards. Whenever Freeman needed a big play, the ball seemed to find its way [...]
Seahawks vs Buccaneers – Fourth quarter
Peephole perspective: Bucs 24, Seahawks 7. The Bucs put the finishing touches on their run of 24 unanswered points with a field goal and a couple of interceptions. Player of the quarter: Elbert Mack. Two interceptions in one quarter, including one in the end zone on Matt Hasselbeck’s final pass. Play of the quarter: On [...]
Seahawks vs Buccaneers – Third quarter
Peephole perspective: 18-0, Bucs. And they didn’t stop here, despite taking a 21-7 lead. Player of the quarter: Sammie Stroughter. The former Oregon State wide receiver/punt returner did damage in both roles. He caught three passes for 33 yards and also had a 33-yard punt return. Play of the quarter: On a second-and-16 play midway [...]
Seahawks vs Buccaneers – Second quarter
Peephole perspective: 7-3, Seahawks. A TD pass from Matt Hasselbeck to TE John Carlson. A late Buccaneers’ field goal that followed a tipped-pass interception. Player of the quarter: Justin Griffith. The Seahawks fullback carried once on third down, and got the first down. He also hooked up with Hasselbeck on a 33-yard pass play on [...]
Seahawks vs Buccaneers – First quarter
Peephole perspective: Scoreless, but not uneventful. An interception (by Deon Grant). An ill-fated decision (by Matt Hasselbeck). A botched hold on a field goal attempt (by Jon Ryan). Player of the quarter: Hooooush. Or, T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The Seahawks’ leading receiver caught five passes in the quarter – five of Hasselbeck’s six completions. Play of the [...]
