The Seattle Seahawks completed an 18 yard pass to Seneca Wallace who was lined up as a wide receiver in last week’s game against the 49ers. The Seahawks maintain that Wallace is still the backup QB but they want to get him onto the field a little bit more to utilize his athletic ability. The Seahawks are also really happy with the progress that Charlie Frye is making in practice and they wouldn’t hesitate to use him in a game.
The Seahawks have lost three players for various amounts of time. Running back Alvin Pearman was the player injured the worst as he tore his ACL in last week’s game with the 49ers. Pearman didn’t carry the ball this season for the Seahawks but he did catch 1 pass for 1 yard. He also returned 3 kickoffs for 71 yards (23.7 avg). Leonard Weaver will pick up even more playing time with Pearman out the rest of the season. Weaver has carried the ball 5 times for 15 yards (3.0 ypc) and he also has caught 5 passes for 33 yards (6.6 avg). The Seahawks also have lost backup G/T Ray Willis for the next 6 weeks with a sprained knee. He was playing mostly on special teams this season for the Seahawks. The Seahawks will also be without rookie cornerback Josh Wilson for the next week or two with a sprained ankle. This could hurt the Seahawks a little bit on special teams and in the nickel defensive sets. Wilson has made 4 tackles and recovered a fumble this season. He also has returned 3 kickoffs for 99 yards (33.0 avg).
The Seattle Seahawks dominated this game way more than the score indicates. Matt Hasselbeck was very efficient as he completed 23 of 31 passes for 281 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 interception. Shaun Alexander brought his hard hat as he carried the football 25 times for 78 yards (3.1 ypc). Leonard Weaver also was busy with 3 carries for 6 yards (2.0 ypc) and 4 catches for 26 yards (6.5 avg). Deion Branch was the leading receiver for the Hawks again as he caught 7 passes for 130 yards (18.6 avg). Bobby Engram (4 rec, 53 yards, TD) and Marcus Pollard (2 rec, 23 yards, TD) each turned in an impressive day at work The Seahawks finished up with 93 yards rushing on 37 carries (2.5 ypc) and they completed 23 of 32 passes for 278 yards.
The defense was outstanding against the 49ers. Linebacker Julian Peterson (4 tackles, 3 sacks) and CB Marcus Trufant (3 tackles, 2 interceptions that he returned 54 yards) were the big playmakers on the defensive side of the football. The 49ers rushed for 109 yards on 19 carries (5.7 ypc) and they completed 12 of 34 passes for 75 yards.
