Hasselbeck Out For Seattle Seahawks
Written by Hank Mondale on November 17th, 2009
The 08′s season for the Seattle Seahawks was an utter disappointment finishing 4-12. The Seahawks caught the injury bug and no one was able to stay healthy, thus the bad record.
The 09′ season for the Seahawks should be well improved — the Seahawks might not be Super Bowl contenders but should compete in every game they are in.
Flashes of that returned last week, when Hasselbeck was forced out of the Seahawks’ game against the San Francisco 49ers during week 2 of the 2009 NFL season.
The NFC West isn’t the strongest division the NFL has ever seen. The Arizona Cardinals haven’t yet found themselves yet, the St. Louis Rams are one of the bottom feeders in the league, the San Francisco 49ers are a young team on the rise though.
In 08′, Hasselback only started 7 games for the Seahawks — when he did play he only completed 52% of his pass attempts with 5 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Hasselback is in his mid 30s — there are not many good years left for him one would assume if he can’t stay on the field.
QB Seneca Wallace has stepped in for Hasselback and has done fairly well — completing around 61% of his pass attempts. The acquisition of T.J. Houshmandzadeh gives the QB’s of the Seahawks a number one option. WR Nate Burleson has had a good season averaging over 10 yards per catch. Burleson only played one game in the 08′ season.
It will be difficult for the Seahawks to contend in the NFC West with the improved of the San Francisco 49ers and the defending NFC West champs Arizona Cardinals — even though the Cards have struggles in the beginning of the season.
Hopefully, the injuries that wrecked the Seahawks 08′ season can be avoided in 09′. If they can stay healthy, they’ll at least be able to put up a fight in plenty of games.
