The silent treatment
Silence is golden for Matt Hasselbeck. Especially on game day, when the chaotic atmosphere in the locker room before kickoff can be a cacophony of sounds and music. Asked today what kind of music he uses to get him in the mood, the Seahawks’ quarterback offered, “I could let you in on my secret right [...]
Thursday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities: FOCUS ON Chester Pitts. The Seahawks began the week hoping that the veteran offensive lineman would be able to play in Sunday’s game against the Rams in St. Louis. When it became apparent that his surgically repaired right knee was going to prevent that from happening, Pitts was released [...]

Linebacker David “Heater” Hawthorne has been catching his teammates’ attention with his play lately. Read the latest feature from Seahawks.com here.

Practice has wrapped up at Virginia Mason Athletic Center, but the Seahawks’ day isn’t done just yet. Players are entering into position group meetings right now, a daily post-practice ritual that allows them to watch all the film from the workout.

Positive attitude
Turnovers are under the microscope today, and it’s worth noting where the Seahawks and Rams stand in the all-important turnover margin category. Through three games this season, the Seahawks are at zero — or “plus-zero,” as the always optimistic Pete Carroll says — while the Rams are at plus-1. Carroll is making a push for [...]
Advanced prep on the road
Preparation is everything to the success of a football team. It’s so important, that even preparation for a road trip takes on a whole new level. And it happens in large part thanks to the preparatory efforts of communications manager Rich Gonzales, who wears two hats for the Seahawks — a full-time public relations staffer [...]
