Well, Mo Morris signed with DET so its Julius Jones all the way this year.
The O line is still ok, just a bad rush of injuries late last year.
Walter Jones still chugging away, but I do expect some OL help in the draft...maybe not with the #4 pick (I still think they want to trade down, now that they have a WR), but somewhere in the first round if they can swing a trade down. Otherwise, maybe Mora takes a chance on drafting a
QB?
Hasselbeck will have no excuse, for the $ he's making. He has to start making decisions like the 10 year vet he is, and not sulk around and throw up rainbows and prayers as he is apt to do. The guy's not the leader that that offense needs, and now with skills declining, SEA has to think about who's leading the offense down the road...
For this year, I'd love for SEA to get Garcia as a backup..he seems to have a short shelf life wherever he goes, but brings an energy to each team and a fire..something that SEA needs (not just last year, last few years) when things get stale..Wallace is a competent backup at best, but he wants to be a starter, but has watched and "lead" by Hasselbeck, so nothing changes when he comes in, other then mobility and a weaker arm.
The offense has the talent, they just need the right guy to bring them together, and make critical plays (or avoid making disastorus ones) when the game is on the line...something Hasselbeck failed miserbaly last year (having the ball last year 4 games, with a chance to go down and score to tie or win near the end of the game, and ended up with 4 turnovers and 4 losses asa result) doing.
