Preview of Seahawks vs. Rams and notes on Big Walt.
As of today, Walter Jones joins three other offensive line starters on the IR. Jones who suffered a microfracture in his knee and has been playing injured, will now sit out the rest of the year after having surgery.
Coach Holmgren is confident that Jones will be back next year in time to start mini camp. Coming in to this season Walter hadn’t missed a game due to injury. The next question for the Seahawks is, will Matt Hasselbeck play out, or sit out? See last blog for my thoughts.
As for this week…
The ‘Hawks go into St. Louis using four Grid Kid players on the offensive line and hoping that Maurice Morris will run away with the game, or that Julius Jones will run well and maybe even hold on to the football sometimes.
Seneca Wallace is playing with confidence, while Bobby Engram and Deion Branch hope to finally find a groove in the offense.
For the Rams, Torry Holt hopes to end the season strong and the Rams themselves hope to prove they can actually play something that remotely resembles the game of football. I know this game is going to be ugly, but I’m still picking the Seahawks to go on to a 24-17 win, then they will quickly take the above stated offensive line out for ice cream and cake.
Go Hawks!
