A look ahead
Wednesday is already travel day for the Seahawks, who will conduct meetings and practice in the morning before leaving for Oakland in the afternoon. Take a look at the agenda for a busy “day before:” 6:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. • Breakfast 8 a.m. • Special teams meeting 8:45 a.m. • Team meeting 9 a.m. [...]

The Seahawks traded cornerback Josh Wilson to the Ravens for a conditional 2011 draft pick.
Tuesday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities: FOCUS ON Tyler Polumbus. The newest Seahawk – an offensive tackle who was obtained Monday night in the trade with the Detroit Lions – made it onto the indoor field at Virginia Mason Athletic Center after practice already had started. But that didn’t prevent him from getting some reps [...]
Plays of the day
Here are the highlights from Tuesday’s workout in Virginia Mason Athletic Center’s indoor practice facility: In the weekly turnover-themed practice, cornerback Roy Lewis stepped in front of an errant pass and recorded an interception during 7-on-7 period, giving the defense the practice victory. On three consecutive goal-line plays, the top three tailbacks all scored on [...]
Turnover day
It might not be Thursday on the calendar, but today is “Turnover Thursday” in the Seahawks’ world this week.

And the equipment staff is adjusting accordingly, [...]
Running lanes
With their next game now just two days away, the Seahawks’ kickoff team reviews its schemes at the tail end of this morning’s walk-thru in the indoor practice facility.
Change of venue, change of volume
Near-sellouts filled stadiums for the Seahawks’ first three preseason games, two of which were at the notoriously loud Qwest Field and the third was at the bandbox-like Metrodome in Minneapolis. It’s expected to be entirely different on Thursday night in Oakland. For several reasons, the atmosphere at the Seahawks’ exhibition matchup at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum [...]
SI sees Seahawks breaking “even”
The Sports Illustrated NFL preview issue hits the newsstands this week, and the Seahawks are predicted to go 8-8 and finish second in the NFC West behind the San Francisco 49ers (also 8-8). SI has the two-time defending division champion Arizona Cardinals in third at 7-9 and the St. Louis Rams last, again, at 3-13. [...]
