Finished pre-season 4-0 with tonights win over Oakland. Were looking to keep it up on the 13th, season opener vs. the Rams. Were taking the division.

Anyone want to take a gander and see who went 4-0 in last year's pre-season? Anyone?

Why? It's all about health. If were healthy were a 9+ win team.

Why? The Detroit Lions went 4-0 in last year's pre-season. It doesn't really mean anything in relation to the regular season, no matter how much stock coaches are putting into it now.

 

Yeah, if your healthy. Hasselbeck has been prone to injuries for around two years now. We know about Walter Jones. We know about TJ. Kerney?

 

I still stick to my 7-9 or 8-8 prediction.

[bigdog17k]

I think the Seahawks end up with a 10-6 record, I really do.

[JYD]

Just curious since I didn't get to see many of the games...

 

What did you guys think of Rutgers rookies Courtney Greene (S) and Mike Teel (QB)?

LT Walter Jones could play for Seahawks on Sunday

RENTON, Wash. (AP)—Walter Jones(notes) could play Sunday for the Seahawks at San Francisco, one month to the day after knee surgery.

 

Seattle’s nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle had his most extensive practice on Friday since his second knee surgery in eight months. The 35-year-old did some team drills and is listed as questionable.

 

Coach Jim Mora said Jones has progressed more than expected. He’s waiting for his star to say he’s ready, but Mora cautioned “we can’t be greedy” and play Jones too soon.

 

“Walter just needs to let us know. When he’s ready to go, we’ll get him in there—whether it’s this Sunday, next Sunday, the following Sunday,” Mora said.

 

As for how the Seahawks’ already jumbled offensive line would resettle once Jones gets back, Mora said the coaches haven’t discussed that.

 

“I don’t think we anticipated early in the week Walt being where he is,” Mora said. “We have to make the right decision with Walt.”

 

Jones had microfracture surgery on his left knee last winter and missed the final four games of the 2008 season, his first absences due to injury since his rookie year of 1997.

 

Top wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh(notes) practiced for the first time this week following back spasms. He is listed as probable and says he will start.

 

Deion Branch(notes) is less likely to play. He missed another day with a strained hamstring that he first hurt in practice on Sept. 7.

 

Branch has yet to make the impact the Seahawks thought they’d get in 2006, when they traded a first-round draft choice to New England to get the former Super Bowl MVP and then gave him a $39 million contract with $13 million guaranteed.

 

Branch senses that, which is why he is anxious to get back—strained hamstring or not.

 

“I would hate for Deion to go out there because he is so anxious to play, and prove his worth and make plays to help this team win, that he re-strains that thing and he misses three or four more games,” Mora said. “We just want to make sure he is healthy.
