Damn. Mora sounds confident that they'll both play though....

Interesting piece by Sando. I'm guessing this was not the case last season......

NOO! Why Dick Stockton, why?

You got to be kidding me.

3-6-SEA 43 (12:07) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 8-M.Hasselbeck sacked at SEA 41 for -2 yards (53-C.Haggans).

3-6-SEA 43 (12:07) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 8-M.Hasselbeck sacked at SEA 41 for -2 yards (53-C.Haggans).

A lot of people have asked about this. Above is the official highlight showing Clark Haggans sack Matt Hasselbeck and Darnell Dockett shove his forearm and elbow into the downed Hasselbeck's chest and throat.

That's all observable fact. What we do not know: the force Dockett shoved Hasselbeck with; Dockett's intention; Why Hasselbeck chose to run; how much the NFL will fine Dockett.

Between the non-centered headlines and captured white space all over the place, Field Gulls looks like absolute ass in the "wide" setting. Am I alone?

I still wish him well and hope he sticks in the NFL.

Dockett's Dirty Elbow?

Dockett's Dirty Elbow?

Hawks' fans, I posed the question to the ROTB community about Darnell Dockett's elbow the throat and whether it was a dirty move or just commonplace in the NFL. Since it obviously happened to your QB, I figured you all might like to chime in as well.

Get well Mr. Allen. You've beaten it before and you can do it again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sacks allowed and time per sack

Sacks allowed and time per sack

I'm not sure of the data's accuracy, but I found it interesting enough for a fan shot. Did we decide to do away with all fan shots? Because this seems relatively unimportant and unrelated to Seahawks news to never be a fan post, but warrant a fanshot.

Shaun Hill over Alex Smith?

Shaun Hill over Alex Smith?

Hello Field Gullers, this fanpost is addressing what John wrote in the Thursday Night Football post.

John said that the Niners should have stuck with Shaun Hill over Alex Smith, which I find pretty curious as I think (and most Niner fans do as well) that it seems pretty obvious that Smith should be the starter the rest of the year. He has looked better than Hill, his DVOA as better (at least before yesterday's game, but it's probably still a fair amount higher), and he's only 25 so he still has a chance of getting better.

Anyway, I just wanted to hear why John (or anyone else for that matter) thinks Hill would be a better choice than Smith, because I don't really see much evidence that he would be. I'd have posted this in one of the posts already up but I got momentarily banned for going off topic once before and I don't think anyone will check back in the original game thread so, here it is.

Former Chiefs guard Brian De La Puente is also being cut from the PS, probably to make room for Hass.

"If Hitler invaded Hell, I would make at least a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons." --Winston Churchill

Super Bowl XL put the aluminum taste of treachery in the Seahawks mouths. It was not that the Seahawks lost, it was that the game felt unwinnable.

Tonight's game is unlosable. Should the Broncos win, the Steelers fall behind the Bengals. Screw the Steelers. Should the Steelers win, the Seahawks improve their draft position. Either Seattle wins or Pittsburgh loses.

KC releases Bobby Engram

Not much to say, really. Bobby's 36, so KC may have been the last stop in his NFL career. Here's wishing him the best; I always liked the guy.
