Bonehand Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Heard that one before... true, true...maybe I should temper my enthusiasm... From Tacoma News Tribune: "Seahawks Insider - where there is no offseason Jackson expected to play Posted by Mike Sando @ 03:12:25 pm Coach Mike Holmgren has finished his longest media session of the season, a 50-minute marathon. He clarified reports about the availability of WR Darrell Jackson against the Bears on Sunday. Basically, those reports were wrong. Holmgren expects Jackson to play in the game. However, the team could be without WR D.J. Hackett (ankle), and the team will definitely be without FS John Howell, who suffered a hamstring injury against Dallas.

DMD Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 And maybe off again.... Seahawks WR Jackson now iffy for SundayAssociated Press National Football League News Wire KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Darrell Jackson's on-and-off status now seems closer to "off." The Seahawks' leading receiver unexpectedly missed practice again Friday, just before the team boarded an afternoon flight to Chicago for Sunday's NFC divisional playoff game against the Bears. Coach Mike Holmgren said Jackson's availability will be a game-time decision. Holmgren had said at the beginning of the week that he expected Jackson, listed as questionable with a turf toe injury on his left foot, would practice by Friday and that he was "likely" to play Sunday. Now, Holmgren's not so sure about him -- or D.J. Hackett. The emerging fourth receiver sprained his ankle during last week's win over Dallas and is listed as doubtful against the Bears (13-3). "Those will be Sunday decisions," Holmgren said. "They're going to have to show me something (during pregame drills) that tells me they can play." It's yet another setback in season full of injuries for the defending NFC champions. Last Saturday was the first time this season Seattle (10-7) had all of its receivers available for a game. The Seahawks started their ninth different combination of offensive linemen against the Cowboys. They have also played without quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, last season's league MVP Shaun Alexander and tight end Jerramy Stevens for at least a month each. "Kind of the way it's gone," Holmgren said of Jackson not practicing. "But I'm hopeful we'll have one or both (Jackson and Hackett) Sunday." Jackson, who was leading the NFL in touchdown receptions before his injury caused him to miss the final three games of the regular season, also missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. He missed all practices last week before he ran 21 plays against Dallas. Jackson pulled himself from that game one play into the third quarter because he said the pain had become unbearable. He had two passes come his way but no catches. By midweek Jackson was optimistic he would play in Chicago, where Seattle will be seeking its first road playoff win since 1983. "I'm going to play as much as I can, suck the pain up as much as I can," Jackson said. "Try to give our team another weapon out there."

bushwacked Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 And maybe off again.... DJ Hackett is supposed to be more hurt than Djax. I was hoping that an inconsistent Hass carriers the game, but now he is going to have to do it with his 2 favorite targets of late? My homer optimism is dwindling as I start to face an impending reality. Nothing to lose.......cmon Seahawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The longer the week has gone on, the more I have thought the Bears are going to win this. While everyone has been droning on about Grossman, few have pointed out that the Hasselbeck of recent weeks hasn't been the Hasselbeck that has been in the top 5 QBs the past couple of years. I think the Hawks hopes rest with SA. If the Bears can shut him down, they'll win going away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Hawks hopes rest with SA. If the Bears can shut him down, they'll win going away. I feel the same way regarding the 'Hawks. They are basically playing with house money, while the Bears have the ghosts of playoffs past to contend with. If the Bears don't start out strong, or if Grossman has a misstep, the crowd could turn on them quick. My keys to the game are: 1) As you said, use Alexander early & often. Even if he isn't busting big gains, Seattle must push the running game to control the clock. Alexander gets better as the game wears on, & IMO he needs 30 carries for the Hawks to have a chance to win. 2) Hasselbeck is the X-factor. You are right, he hasn't played his best consistantly this year, but we all know he more than capable of playing big when it counts. He did have a QB rating of over 100 in the 4th quarter of the Dallas game, & has more playoff experience than any of the remaining NFC QB's. He needs to trust his protection, & NOT FORCE THE BALL into tight coverage for the 'Hawks to win. Likewise, if the Bears are going to win, they need to bury they Hawks, not let them hang around. If Seattle is within a TD at the end & can get the ball, they will win it. If the Hawk's can control the clock, & Hass plays well, they'll pull off the upset. If not, the Bears will cover.

They must not play from behind but equally I don't want to see Seattle down 6 and starting their two minute drill from the Seattle 35.

isleseeya Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 No djax and no hackett = long day for seattle Then again who is the place holder for the bears ? Lester hayes stick um may make a comeback after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh B Tool Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Playing with house money? they have underachieved all year, got very lucky in the playoff draw let alone the win against the Plowboys and go into a freezing Bear Den where Hass will again be running for his friggin life. Porkchop couldn't hold Hutch's jock and the SA cutbacks will be reduced to nothing with the Oso's speed on D. Seahags can't stop the run and they must to win. They barely got through the NFC Worst and they are playing with house money? Blue and Green bandwagon blows a tire and the 12th man will be hopping off like it was the 90's again. Two years from now Hawk tickets will be the easiest to get in town. Window is shrinking so they better lay it all down now and hope for another five card 21 Edited January 13, 2007 by Hugh B Tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 if it comes down to a field goal attempt, they should take a shot of some guy on the sideline spraying down the ball with WD-40.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonehand Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 They barely got through the NFC Worst and they are playing with house money? Exactly. You could make the argument that they shouldn't even be in this game, so what do they have to lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lester hayes stick um may make a comeback after all I don't know that that's true. Both Holmgren & Hasselbeck have made reference this week that part of the reason the offense sputtered in the the first half V. Dallas was that they shoe-horned D-Jax & Hackett into the game after not practicing, forcing Engram, Branch & Burleson to play in positions that THEY hadn't practiced all week. The continuity of starting those who worked on the gameplan intensively during practice could actually be a benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
