The Seahawks have dealt 24-year old DE Lawrence Jackson to the Lions for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick.  Jackson played in 16 games (10 starts) for the Seahawks last season and he had 32 tackles, 4 sacks, 2 passes defensed and 2 forced fumbles.  He finishes his career with the Seahawks having played in 32 games (24 starts) in which he had 61 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 2 passes defensed and 2 forced fumbles.  Jackson was a Seahawks first round pick in 2008 so they are essentially giving up on him as the pick the Lions are sending is presumed to be a late rounder.

The Seahawks have signed 28-year old DT Amon Gordon.  Gordon last played in the NFL in 2008 with the Titans.  He has played in 13 games (4 starts) in his NFL career and he has 29 tackles and 1 forced fumble.  It never hurts to add a guy like Gordon and give him a chance to get his career revived.

The Seahawks have lost OT Ray Willis indefinitely due to knee surgery.  Willis started all 16 games for the Seahawks last year.  He has played in 44 games (26 starts) in his five year NFL career.  Willis was likely to be the first tackle off the bench for the Seahawks this season so they need him to get healthy soon.

The Seahawks have acquired 23-year old DT Kentwan Balmer from the 49ers for a 6th round pick in 2011.  Balmer played in 11 games for the Niners last season and he had 12 tackles.  He has played in 27 games in his two years in the NFL and he has 19 tackles and 1 pass defensed.  Balmer must have a decent upside in the Niners’ opinion as they used a first round pick on him in 2008.  This was worth a roll of the dice by the Seahawks.

Don’t let the final score fool you the Seahawks dominated most of this game as they were up 20-7 heading into the 4th quarter.  Matt Hasselbeck didn’t look sharp at all in this game as he completed 4 of 10 passes for 26 yards.  Charlie Whitehurst was pretty darn good in this ballgame as he completed 14 of 22 passes for 214 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 INT.  J.P. Losman wasn’t too good in this game as he only completed 3 of 5 passes for 7 yards with 1 INT.  Quinton Ganther got a lot of work in this game for the Seahawks with 11 carries for 36 yards (3.3 ypc).  Louis Rankin (3 car, 21 yards), Justin Forsett (7 car, 17 yards and 1 rec, 30 yards) and Julius Jones (5 car, 13 yards) each helped out in the running game.  WR Mike Williams only caught 1 pass for 51 yards and it went for a TD.  TE Cameron Morrah pitched in with 4 receptions for 35 yards (8.8 avg).  Rookie 6th round pick Anthony McCoy only caught 1 pass but it went for a 4-yard TD.  The Seahawks rushed for 88 yards (3.1 ypc) and they passed for 233 yards in this game.

Linebacker Matt McCoy (4 tackles, 1 fumble recovery) and LB Alvin Bowen (6 tackles) were solid in this game.  But, rookie 7th round pick Dexter Davis (DE) was all over the field in this game.  Davis finished up with 4 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss and 4 QB hits in his first taste of the NFL.  The Titans finished up with 97 yards rushing (4.2 ypc) and 163 passing yards in this game
