Changing of the guard! (actually all the guards and the QB and MLB).
Matt Hasselbroke was shown the door and will take his talents (under-throwing receivers accurately while telling good jokes) to the Titans as Jake Locker's crossing guard. We thank you for possibly being the best QB in franchise history (5 years ago) and bid you adieu Matt! In with the Tavaris Jackson golden era (of waiting for Andrew Luck). Familiar with the Bevel system, Tavaris will be on a mission to prove he's not a stop gap.
Also gone is Lofa Tatupu- The youth movement claims a great linebacker who couldn't shake the injury bug after banging into bigger guys year after year. We solute you too Lofa!
On the way in comes a brand new Offensive Line built around 1st round mauler Russ Okung and Robert Gallery formerly of the Raiders. Tom Cable's guys are bigger, badder, and not Sean Locklier!!! yay.
We are also Pumped and also jacked to welcome our big FA pickups Zack Miller and Sydney Rice who should give us one of the biggest receiving lineups seen when added to Big Mike Williams and John Carlson. It's preseason, of course, so we should only see a little of the top end talent before we get to see some rooks and filler. On to injuries and things to watch-
Injury update:
Seahawks-
Out: Colin "kankles" Cole (DT), Deon Butler (WR), Roy Lewis (CB), and Cameron Morrah (TE) Red "Dead Redemption" Bryant (DE) knee, Mike Williams (WR) toe sprain, Kentwan Balmer (DL) Neck, Kris Durham (hamstring), Ryan Sims (DT) knee

Things to Watch:
1-QB's- all three:
Tavaris is given the full reigns for the first time, is he going to blossom or will it be enough rope to hang himself?
CBJ will back in his comfort zone holding clipboards, looking fab, and telling himself daily affirmations by Stewart Smalley. He'll see some action, but word has it he's actually not looking as good as:
Josh Portis. RB Clinton Portis' cousin has been looking good in camp and has the coaches attention. Pete says he'll play alot. Not good news for Charlie especially if he's as commanding and accurate as touted.
2-Running game- for however long they are out there, it will be interesting to see the big boys try to maul holes for the backs. Is this the end of the running game door mats?
3-The other guys at WR. Last year the other guy was Big Mike Williams and who'd a thunk it? This year our depth includes the big, fast, athletic Kris Durham(updated as out due to hamstring), the blazing speed of Lockette, and the enigma that is what will become of last years camp darlin Golden Tate. Should be a nice look at those guys.
4. The secondary- please someone like Browner take Midget Jennings job. At 6'4" browner has reportedly been very effective on the big receivers in camp and after an allstar year in jr varsity, I mean the CFL, he could be an unlikely success story and another big guy on Pete's giants.
Predictions-
a preseason game will be played. Pete will be pumped and jacked.
