This is the season Seattle lost Steve Hutchinson and the foundation of its offensive line began to crumble. Walter Jones was still among the very best at his position, but he was 32 and would turn 33 less than a week after Seattle was bumped out of the playoffs. That run was paved in part by Tim Ruskell's first ever pick, Chris Spencer , replacing an effectively retired Robbie Tobeck , and rookie Rob...

Kelly Jennings went Keary Colbert on a pass thrown right for him, dropping a game changing interception. Darryl Tapp forced the pressure that forced the bad pass, but despite another awesome defensive showing from Seattle, the Seahawks are again not scoring, but only winning field position.

His first season and through the half season that followed, he was a steal, but Kerney is getting expensive just as he is getting injured and inadequate.

This hole? Zombie-Curtis Enis could run through it. How does a running back rush for 80 yards on the first play of the half? How does a team fail to adjust when that same running back broke a 75 yard run in the first half? Seattle didn't really adjust. It was again eight in the box. Kelly Jennings was manning the right end, making Seattle borderline nine in the box. The starters, minus Lofa Tatupu...

The first preseason moment that inspired the rush of discovery was Darryl Tapp dropping into cover from the end-backer position.
