Seahawks

Steve Kelley writes an article this morning many Seattle fans should thoroughly enjoy. Kelley compares Seahawks GM Tim Ruskell to former Sonics GM Wally Walker. With so many fans pining for Mike Holmgren to run the franchise, and the team on the brink of planning for the 2010 draft, the Seahawks could not have picked worse time to visit Steve Hutchinson and the 8-1 Vikings.

After floundering near the bottom of the league rankings in rushing offense all season, Eric D. Williams states the new combination of Justin Forsett and Louis Rankin is creating a new enthusiasm in the run game for Jim Mora.

Seahawks Insider Clare Farnsworth reports the Hawks are still in search of a pass rush.

Mike Sando, ESPN.com NFC West blogger, posted six backups he feels have stepped up their game when called upon this season. Seattle is represented twice on the list by David Hawthorne and Justin Forsett.

Jordan Kent is taking a page out of Isaiah Kacyvenski’s book by joining the rival St. Louis Rams after being cut by the Seahawks.

John Morgan of Fieldgulls.com posted a two-part examination of Brandon Mebane and what Morgan feels is the optimal defensive line.

 

Huskies/Cougars

Steve Sarkisian explains to Bob Condotta why the team is attempting to kick-start the return game by placing middle linebacker Donald Butler on the kick return team as a blocker.

Cracking the line-up as a guard for the UW men’s basketball team is difficult given the depth of talent in the Husky backcourt. Percy Allen believes Scott Suggs is forcing Lorenzo Romar to seriously consider caring out some minutes for the sophomore guard.

SI is rolling out various regional covers of their college basketball preview. Isaiah Thomas was chosen to grace one of the covers after SI named him a preseason third-team All-American.

Cougars quarterback Jeff Tuel is listed as questionable for this weekend’s match-up against Oregon St. WSU is one of the worst teams in the nation for the second straight season, but Paul Wulff told Nicholas K. Geranios the rebuilding plan will pay off.

 

Mariners

Shannon Drayer weighs in on the difference between Zack Greinke and Felix Hernandez, and why Greinke deserved the Cy Young Award. Larry Stone proposes this morning what may be next for Mariners ace Felix Hernandez. John McGrath believes the M’s will be able to sign Felix Hernandez for at least four more seasons, but after that, keeping Hernandez around may become more difficult.

Arizona Fall League games, like the 24-15 slugfest between the Peoria Javelinas and Peoria Saguaros last night, can certainly inflate a batter’s statistics. However, Dustin Ackley’s performance at the plate this fall is still turning heads. The U.S.S. Mariner examines what young prospects the Mariners may look to add to their 40-man roster before the November 20th deadline to protect players from being taken in the Rule 5 draft.

 

Misc

After Jim Brown let the cat out of the bag last night, the Mike Holmgren to Cleveland rumors are heating up.

Larry Lage recaps Gonzaga’s near-upset last night at #2 Michigan State. The Bulldogs lead the majority of the game, but failed to hold off the Spartans in the last two minutes.

    Where is the Mathematician Mike Salk...???
    Oh it looks like he is still busy in doing the Maths for Seahawks chances in the NFC playoff game. Guys please accept the ground reality and show some guts to ask TOUGH questions like Steve Kelly of Seattle Times. He and few other sports commentators on KJR950 are asking tough questions about accountibility in the Seahawks organization. I am hoping that Mike and Brock will raise voice for Seattle Seahawks fans. Its really SAD to see how my Hawks went on downhill path from 2005 to 2009 and the man responsible for their downfall is preaching patience to Seahawks fans. I mean people spending their entertainment $$$ on watching their beloved Seahawks playing every Sunday and noone really cares for these fans??? I wish and prey for Mr Allen to get WELL soon and start cleaning this house before its too late.
