Seahawks Top 10 Draft Watch: Week Three

Week three is now in the books and the Seahawks have slumped to 1-2. The Seahawks lost 25-19 to the Chicago Bears at Quest Field this past Sunday and it was clear where the holes are on this team.

Last week I had the holes at QB, RB, OL, DL, CB and S. I think it is clear to say that we can take off running back with Julius Jones only finishing two yards short of his second 100+ yard game in three games. His first came in week one with 117 yards on 19 carries.

There is still a hole at quarterback, and whoever that quarterback will be, needs to have some brains and consistency.

On the offensive line the main target is going to be the future LT after Walter Jones. Also staying healthy is a key for everyone on the Seahawks roster as well as the offensive line.

The defensive line focus is mainly at defensive end. Patrick Kerney, who did have a sack in the loss to Chicago, doesn’t seem to be worth the money that Seattle is paying him anymore and he seems to be on the other side of the mountain now.

Also DE Cory Redding is working on a one year contract and Lawrence Jackson and Darryl Tapp haven’t solidified their starting roles on the defensive line.

Corner back mainly because Ken Lucas is also working on a one year contract and even though Josh Wilson and Kelly Jennings are good players, neither of them really stand out as a number two starter behind Marcus Trufant who is on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list.

Safety, just because Jordan Babineaux, while a great playmaker, doesnt seem to be a great long term answer at safety like say a Taylor Mays or Eric Berry.

Now to the key part of this whole series, the college football side of it. My last week’s top 10 list went like this http://www.nfltouchdown.com/seahawks-top-10-draft-watch-week-two/

Three OT, three QB’s, two DT’s, one S and one RB.

This week some of those players took a huge step back from where they were ranked last week. Those players are headlined by Cal running back Jahvid Best who ran for only 55 yards and zero touchdowns.

Tim Tebow did well but had to leave the game with a concussion. Other than those two, well let’s just get started.

All the stats listed are for the past weekend game they played in and not the season total.

With that being said here is this week’s top ten.

1) S Eric Berry-Tennessee (7 tackles, 3 solo and 4 assisted)

2) QB Colt McCoy-Texas (28/35, 286 yards, 3 TD’s, 1 INT and a 171 QB rating)

3) OT Trent Williams-Oklahoma

4) OT Russell Okung-Oklahoma State

5) DE Carlos Dunlap-Florida (2 tackles, 1 sack)

6) RB Jahvid Best-Cal (16 carries, 55 yards and zero touchdowns)

7) OT Bryan Bulaga-Iowa

8) QB Sam Bradford-Oklahoma

9) WR Dez Bryant- Oklahoma State (9 receptions, 161 yards and two touchdowns)

10) DE Greg Hardy-Ole Miss

A few notables that dropped out of the top ten are QB Tim Tebow, DT Gerald McCoy and DT Ndamukong Suh.

A few notables that jumped in are DE Carlos Dunlap, WR Dez Bryant and DE Greg Hardy.

With the addition of Bryant I’m not saying the Seahawks need a wide receiver but that having a player like Bryant with Houshmandzadeh and Burleson would really help whoever would be the quarterback.

Not saying it will happen…but it would be a nice addition.

Now the greatest needs in order from greatest on down to lowest are as follows.

HEALTH

QB

OT/OL

DL/DE

S

CB

Next week I’m sure there will be more players jumping in and out of my top ten. Next week the Seattle Seahawks play the Colts in Indy which will be a huge road test for them and they could be in danger of dropping to 1-3.

Why the Seattle Seahawks Are in Need of a Real Face Lift Going Forward

The Mike Holmgren era was arguably one of, if not the most, successful eras in Seahawks history.

Four straight division titles, five straight playoff appearances, one super bowl appearance and countless other player accolades.

Since 2005 when the Seahawks lost 21-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in super bowl 40 they Seahawks have steadily gone backwards and last year they took about two or three more steps back.

From that 53 man roster in the super bowl the Seahawks have lost the following players:

LG Steve Hutchinson, C Robbie Tobeck, RB Shaun Alexander, WR Darrell Jackson, WR Joe Jurevicius, TE Jeremy Stevens, WR Bobby Engram, RG Chris Gray, DE Bryce Fisher, DE Grant Wistrom, DT Chuck Darby, DT Rocky Bernard, S Michael Boulware, CB Andre Dyson, CB Kelly Herndon, LB Isaiah Kacyvenski, LB Niko Koutouvides, OL Floyd Womack, CB Jimmy Williams, FB Leonard Weaver, TE Keith Willis, RB Marquis Weeks, WR Peter Warrick, WR Taco Wallace, WR Jerheme Urban, DT Marcus  Tubbs, DE Joe Tafoya, DT Ronald Smith, LB Jamie Sharper, RB Josh Scobey, P Tom Rouen, CB Etric Pruitt, DE Robert Pollard, RB Maurice Morris, TE Itula Mili, DE Bryant McNeal, S Marquand Manuel, WR Maurice Mann, LB Cornelius Wortham, S Ken Hamlin, K Josh Brown and about 10 others.

Here is the entire super bowl roster.

The only players that are currently on the team that were also on the super bowl team are QB Matt Hasselbeck, S Jordan Babineaux, LB Leroy Hill, LB Lofa Tatupu, C Chris Spencer, LT Walter Jones, RT Sean Locklear, DT Craig Terrill, QB Seneca Wallace, and RT Ray Willis.

That’s it. Let’s put that into perspective. As of now they have 20 percent of the super bowl roster left which makes 80% of that team gone else ware.

And most of those players were key in the regular season and in the post season like Alexander and Hutch.

The Seahawks big mistake is that they have not replaced those players once they left. Rob Sims is not Steve Hutchinson and Julius Jones is not Shaun Alexander.

In 2005 the Seahawks were 13-3 they Seahawks have finished with 10 wins or less and injuries and lack of having a complete team have really hurt the Seahawks.

2006: Seahawks 9-7

2007: Seahawks 10-6 (Hasselbeck played all 16 games and made the pro bowl)

2008: Seahawks 4-12

2009 so far: 1-1

SO what does this say about the Seahawks? Well it shows that they really don’t have a solution for winning when they have injuries or when they lose players to free agency ala Shaun and Hutch.

Now the Seahawks have another problem currently as well as going forward. That’s finding and sustaining an identity for the entire team.

Like the Titans, Steelers, Ravens are all known as defensive teams and they start from the defense and then have the offense be the balance and put up the points needed but that the defense is their identity.

The Seahawks don’t have that “identity” because they are not an offensive team. They are mostly a defensive team but they don’t have all 11 defensive positions filled out that they could be called a defensive team.

However, this article is entitled “Why The Seahawks Are in Need Of a Real Face Lift Going Forward.”

What that means is they need to get the pieces soon to become that old super bowl contending team.

Now there is a difference between face lift and overhaul. The Seahawks are not in need of a overhaul or rebuild because for the most part they have the pieces they need but do need to fill the key positions which they lack at

Those positions being quarterback running back, wide receiver, offensive line, defensive line and safety.

Matt Hasselbeck is arguably the best quarterback in Seahawks history having led this team to its only super bowl but his glory days are behind him and they need to move on from the Matt Hasselbeck era as they did with Holmgren and Shaun Alexander.

The most likely scenario to fill the quarterback hole would be in the 2010 NFL draft with Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, or possibly Jevan Sneed but the two front runners would be Bradford and McCoy.

Now at running back the Seahawks haven’t really had an identity at running back since 2005 when Shaun Alexander won the NFL MVP.

They have tried Maurice Morris, Julius Jones and now have also added Edgerrin James to the backfield but none of those running backs can really be what the Seahawks need to be an explosive offense and that’s a back like Matt Forte or Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson.

The same scenario for running back, just like the quarterback is to draft one in the 2010 NFL draft with Jahvid Best being the best running back available to fit the Seahawks mold for a running back.

Wide receiver is really just getting rid of Deion Branch and putting rookie Deon Butler in his spot. They don’t really need another top notch wide out because of TJ Houshmandzadeh.

Offensive line will really depend on how the shifting will go throughout the season and also with injuries.

LT Walter Jones will most likely retire this off season so they will need someone to fill his shoes. Seahawks GM Tim Ruskell has tabbed RT Sean Locklear to become the future LT after Walter Jones retires and that is probably the best option.

Drafting a top OT would take away from drafting bigger needs like QB, RB, and S.

The only remaining hole on the Seahawks other than their poor luck in the injury department is at safety.

Right now the Seahawks have Jordan Babineaux and Deon Grant at FS and SS. A lot of people have said that the Seahawks should draft either Eric Berry or Taylor Mays.

Well if the Seahawks go with their draft motto and Berry returns to Tennessee then they can wait a year and draft a safety in 2011.

I like having Babineaux at FS but I think he needs a full season at the position before he can be judged. Most likely if the Seahawks pickup a safety it will be in the second round.

So to sum it up for the Seahawks. They will need to address the key positions at QB, RB and OL this off season before they should think about having a playoff run.

Here are a few draft scenarios for the Seahawks with their first three picks. Two first rounder’s and a second round pick.

Bradford/Best/Reshad Jones

McCoy/Best/Ras-I Dowling

Berry/Best/Max Hall

Seahawks Top 10 Draft Watch: Week Two

This is the first of a weekly update on the top ten potential targets for the Seahawks in the 2010 NFL Draft. This list will feature the top ten potential targets each week based on a ranking system and how well or poor that player plays will determine where they are in the ranks each week.

The Seahawks will most likely be targeting the following positions in the 2010 NFL Draft. QB, RB, OL, DL, CB and S.

With that being said here is this week’s top ten.

1) RB Jahvid Best—Cal (412 yards, 8 TD’s, 53 carries and a 7.8 avg)

2) S Eric Berry—Tennessee (24 tackles, 17 solo and 1 INT)

3) QB Colt McCoy—Texas (859 yards, 6 TD passes, 4 INT’s, 144 passer rating and 68 completion percentage)

4) OT Trent Williams

5) QB Sam Bradford

6) DT Ndamukong Suh—Nebraska (20 tackles, 9 solo and 2 sacks)

7) QB Tim Tebow—Florida (540 yards, 5 TD’s, 1 INT, 170 passer rating, 67 completion rating)

8) DT Gerald McCoy-—Oklahoma (8 tackles, 7 solo and one sack)

9) OT Russell Okung—Oklahoma State

10) OT Bryan Bulaga—Iowa

Now this is only the first week and by the end of the season, I’m sure this list will change for better or worse.

However the needs in order from greatest to least are QB,RB,OT,S,CB,DL in that order.

Now the players have to fit the Seahawks motto. The Seahawks motto or bill for draft picks are three things. One, they have to come from a big time school. Two, the player has to be a four year player and not come out early. Finally, he must have great character and becomea leader.

Well that would be Tim Tebow and Eric Berry at the top of the list and Seahawks fans would love to see that.

You can check out Rob Staton’s draft blog and see his top ten players to watch as well. http://seahawksdraft.blogspot.com/2009/05/walter-cherepinskys-two-round-2010-mock.html

Matt Hasselbeck Via Twitter: ” Going to Be Alright”

The world of Twitter has become a new phenomenon for sports players, coaches, agents and just about everyone.

Thanks to Matt Hasselbeck he’s let Seahawks Nation know his condition after being taken out of the Seahawks-49ers game with a reported “rib injury”.

Here is what Matt Hasselbeck said via Twitter about his injury update.

“Going to be alright. Thx to staff at Stanford and Dr. McAdam for snapping this photo.”

Hasselbeck has flown back with the Seahawks team to Seattle so he will be fine once he gets a little more rest. It’s not as bad as originally thought which is good news for the Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man.

Here is what ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter had to report about Hasselbeck.

“Hasselbeck discharged from a SF hospital and allowed to return to Seattle with Seahawks. Wouldn’t have happened if he were seriously hurt.”

Hasselbeck might miss one day of practice but most likely will play next week at home against the Chicago Bears in what will be a very important game for the Seahawks if they want to make the playoffs.

Seattle Seahawks: Pieces In Place, but Not a Complete Team…Not Yet

It’s week two, and the Seahawks are already losing players to injury. Yes, the Seahawks are 1-1, but today showed why they got lucky against the St. Louis Rams last week.

As of today after the game, the Seahawks are without the following players: LTs Walter Jones and LT Sean Locklear, C Chris Spencer, QB Matt Hasselbeck, WR Deion Branch, LBs Leroy Hill and Lofa Tatupu, and CB Marcus Trufant.

All eight players listed above are starters on the Seahawks, and are all not active or are unable to play.

Not only are the Seahawks getting depleted physically with injuries, but today against the 49ers got depleted mentally and emotionally.

The Seahawks put seven and eight men in the box to stop running back Frank Gore and force quarterback Shaun Hill to throw the ball, which was a great game plan that just got torn up by the lack of tackling on the Seahawks defense, who got ran over for 200+ yards and two touchdowns by Frank Gore.

When you have the right game plan coming into the game and can’t execute because of poor tackling, you’re not going to be successful even with 11 players in the box.

The Seahawks’ defense looked bad, but held the 49ers offense to 23 points. That might seem like a lot, but the way the Seahawks were playing, it’s a bright spot in a poorly executed game.

The defense doesn’t get all the blame. The Seahawks’ offense just looked like they did in the first quarter of last week without the turnovers.

Hasselbeck and the Seahawks’ offense could never get in a rhythm, which is the Seahawks bread and butter.

Last week, once the Seahawks got into a rhythm, they scored three straight touchdowns via Matt Hasselbeck.

This week, the Seahawks only had one turn over, but that didn’t make a difference because they never got anywhere on offense except for one field goal.

Give credit to Matt Hasselbeck for that quarterback run in to the goal line, but was nailed by linebacker Patrick Willis. Right after the hit you knew something was wrong because his face turned burnt red and right after heading towards the sideline Hasselbeck’s knees just completely gave out and had to be supported down to the ground.

The report is Hasselbeck has a “rib” injury and did not return to the game. I know there will be a lot of Seahawks fans saying, “oh, here we go again with Hasselbeck’s injuries,” but Seahawks fans need to give him a break. Tis is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL.

Seneca Wallace came in to take his place and threw a one-yard touchdown pass to running back Julius Jones. That’s all there was for the Seahawks offense.

So what does this mean for the Seahawks after today? Well, it shows the difference from the No. 1 to No. 2 on their roster at many positions. For the Seahawks, once they got down to the third player on the depth chart, they knew they were going to hurt.

That’s what happened to the Seahawks today and so far this season. Brandon Frye, who the Seahawks picked up off waivers from Miami, is not Walter Jones or Sean Locklear.

Steve Vallos looked like a third-stringer today with the three botched snaps, and it shows the difference between Vallos and Spencer.

Also, DT Brandon Mebane was inactive for the game today and Red Bryant filled in for him. Bryant is not Mebane, and that showed today as well, but the Seahawks’ defense overall was just unable to tackle anyone.

If you want to look at this for the 49ers, take out Frank Gore, three starting offensive linemen, Nate Clements, and Patrick Willis, and then tell me if you think they would be 2-0.

It’s the exact same thing the Seahawks have right now. It’s not an excuse, because injuries happen in the NFL, but there’s no excuse for poor play.

If you look at the Seahawks’ roster right now you have to say they are not a complete team (player wise not attitude-wise), but that they do have the pieces in place. They still need those two or three more players to finish it off.

Here are the players the Seahawks have (when healthy): QB Matt Hasselbeck, WRs TJ Houshmandzadeh and Nate Burleson, TE John Carlson, LT Walter Jones (should retire this off season), RG Max Unger, LG Rob Sims (maybe), DT Brandon Mebane, DE Patrick Kerney, DE Cory Redding, LB Lofa Tatupu, LB Aaron Curry, LB Leroy Hill (maybe), CB Marcus Trufant, SS Deon Grant, and K Olindo Mare

That’s 15 starters out of 22 that could be listed as the players in place. Julius Jones is a possibility, but I don’t think he is the long-term answer with Jahvid Best in the draft.

The Seahawks will need to address LT, LG (maybe), DT, CB, and FS in the offseason to really complete this team out.

Colin Cole is a great No. 2, but I just can’t list him as a starter with confidence because that’s what this list is.

So now, Seahawks fans will look at those two first round picks in the 2010 NFL draft and think of what could be done with them to improve this team.

Here are some players that would work at positions of need: S Eric Berry, RB Jahvid Best, DT Ndamukong Suh, DT Gerald McCoy, OT Trent Williams, DT/NT Terrence Cody, S Reshad Jones, S Taylor Mays, and CB Joe Haden.

That list most likely won’t change, because no matter what the Seahawks won’t drop Hasselbeck unless he retires.

Walter Jones and the offensive line will need some work this offseason, as well as that secondary.

By week seven or eight, if the Seahawks for some reason are way out of it, then Seahawks fans can look toward Oklahoma, USC, Florida, Nebraska, and Georgia to start looking at players who the Seahawks might draft in 2010.

These next four weeks will be key with three winnable at home games and one road game before the bye.

Seahawks Fans: Why Losing Leroy Hill Is Not So Bad

In the Seahawks 28-0 week one win against the St. Louis Rams, the Seahawks lost a key player on defense in Leroy Hill.

During the game, Hill came off late in the first quarter and came back late in the second quarter in street clothes.

At the time, it was reported as a “groin injury.” After the game, the Seahawks’ trainers had the opportunity to run all the tests on Hill, and they came to a consensus that Hill had a groin injury—possibly a tear.

Head coach Jim Mora Jr. reported yesterday that Hill will be out till week eight, after the Seahawks’ bye week in week seven.

Yes, losing a starting linebacker like Leroy Hill is a significant loss, but it’s not as bad as fans and everyone else is making it out to be.

The Seahawks have two outstanding backup linebackers in Will Herring (took the place of Hill in the Rams game) and David Hawthorne.

Herring recorded two tackles in the Rams game after replacing Hill. Hawthorne had a killer hit on Rams quarterback Marc Bulger, who bounced right back up and had a few choice words for David.

Both players will be a great fit to replace Hill, and losing Hill also doesn’t look as bad because during the offseason the Seahawks let Hill go to free agency after they couldn’t agree before the draft.

Hill wound up signing a long-term contract after the draft, but the Seahawks were confident they could go on without Hill if needed.

Another bright spot in the loss of Hill is that Aaron Curry can get even more tackles now without having another top linebacker in Hill.

Curry will be key against Frank Gore and the 49ers this weekend.

Don’t look for the Seahawks to sign Derrick Brooks because he joined ESPN. The Seahawks don’t need to add a linebacker with the two backups they have.

It should be fun this weekend against San Francisco.

Seattle Seahawks Pursuing CB Ty Law, Others?

The swan song for every Seattle sports team is injuries. Most predominantly the Seattle Seahawks. Yet again bitten by the injury bug in 2009 but so far it hasn’t effected them.

CB Marcus Trufant, who was placed on the PUP list before the regular season is expected back in five weeks. Recently signed CB Travis Fisher is nursing a strained hamstring and is questionable for the Seahawks week two game in San Francisco.

As of now the Seahawks are going with three main corner backs. Ken Lucas, Kelly Jennings and Josh Wilson.

This passed Sunday they fared well against a week St Louis Rams offense but were exposed by wide receiver Laurent Robinson.

This week they don’t have to worry to much in San Francisco with the 49ers offense either. They will focus more on running back Frank Gore.

But as the season goes on the Seahawks will need to be more bulked up in the secondary that is looking to improve from last season.

The Seahawks have already signed backup safety Lawyer Milloy after releasing Brian Russell and making Jordan Babineaux the starting free safety.

With Trufant out for a while and games coming up with Chicago, Indy, Jacksonville and Arizona coming up in the next 4-6 weeks.

So how do the Seahawks plan to address their need at corner back? Well there are a few ways they can go about this.

One, the have already brought in free agent corner back Eric Green for a workout today and at this point in his career is what the Seahawks need and that’s a nickle backup.

Two, they could could go after great veteran corner back and former Patriot and Jet Ty Law who is currently leaning towards returning to the NFL and I would imagine as a backup.

He has already ruled out KC, Oakland, and Detroit.

Seattle would be a great destination for Law for two reason. He would be a great backup and at this point in his career that’s what he wants to be.

Two is that the Seahawks are a winning team and are the favorites by many to win the NFC West again and that would certainly appeal to Ty Law.

The only other option, which doesn’t seem to be a huge possibility is trading for a corner back but with no real talented CB’s on the market there is no reason to pursue a trade.

It will be down to Ty Law vs Eric Green because I don’t see the Seahawks having to sign to CB’s and release two players probably at WR and DL.

We’ll have to wait and see what transpires.

Seattle Seahawks Going With a New Look at Safety This Season

Is new always better? Is age not a factor in the NFL? Well for the Seattle Seahawks sake both better be true. New is better and age is not a factor in the NFL. Well this according to the way the Seahawks have changed up the defensive backs for the upcoming season.

Recently, the Seahawks released safety Brian Russell who was swiftly replaced by Lawyer Milloy, who was then signed by the Seahawks to a one year contract.

Now once the move(s) were announced a lot of people thought that Russell was not working in Seattle and that Lawyer Milloy would become the starting free safety.

That is not the case.

What the situation is/was is that Brain Russell was beat out by former cornerback now turned safety Jordan “Big play” Babineaux for the starting free safety position.

Lawyer Milloy was brought in to be a backup to Babs.

This move resembles the Edgerrin James signing when he was brought in to be a ” complimentary” back to Julius Jones and thus T.J Duckett was released.

As it stands right now, here is what the Seahawks FS and SS positions look like.

FS: Jordan Babineaux; backup: Lawyer Milloy

SS: Deon Grant; backup: C.J. Wallace

This season is a new start for everyone who under preformed last season so that would be…Everyone on the Seahawks roster as well as the new Seahawks players.

It will be interesting to see if Milloy beats out Babineaux for the starting FS spot during the season.

Seahawks: Why John Carlson Is the Seattles’ Most Valuable Offensive Asset

When someone says the Seattle Seahawks offense, which name comes to mind?

Matt Hasselbeck, Shaun Alexander (former), TJ Houshmandzadeh, Deion Branch, Bobby Engram, Walter Jones, and many other names.

One name that is now well known amongst the NFL’s finest is tight end John Carlson, who is now entering his second season in the NFL.

The Seahawks made Carlson their second round selection in the 2008 NFL Draft. At the time, the Seahawks passed on another top tight end, Dustin Keller, who wound up being second to the Notre Dame product, who set many Seahawks records in his rookie season.

This offseason, the Seahawks wanted to boost their receiving options and signed free agent wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh to a five year, $40 million contract.

Houshmandzadeh was added to Nate Burleson, Deion Branch, and rookie wide receiver Deon Butler.

Now, as any offensive coordinator will tell you, a tight end is one of the most important assets in an offense, next to the quarterback, and left tackle, who most don’t consider weapons.

There has been a lot of whoop-la surrounding Houshmandzadeh, and rightfully so. But now, in Seattle, where Housh will be the No. 1 wide receiver, there must be another trusted option.

Some might say Nate Burleson. Some might say Deion Branch. Some might even say rookie wide receiver Deon Butler.

But I say the real second option is John Carlson.

Carlson is already doing things that took Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten three to four years to learn.

ESPN.com fantasy has Carlson listed as the 10th best tight end in the NFL, and rightfully so.

Now, in the last two years, Carlson, both at Notre Dame and with the Seahawks, went unnoticed.

Carlson was a first round talent, but, because of how poorly Notre Dame played in 2007, he fell to the second round.

Then, last season, when the Seahawks went 4-12, no one saw any silver lining and Carlson was overlooked by many.

Now, in Seahawks Nation, he was the poster boy before Houshmandzadeh signed because, for Carlson, it doesn’t matter who is under center because he fits every quarterback.

Even though Houshmandzadeh has the big contract and long name, John Carlson is the most important weapon to the Seahawks for two reasons.

When Housh and Burleson are covered, Carlson is always an open target right in the middle because all four wide receivers are going to stretch the field this season.

Two, because just like the first reason, all four wide receivers will stretch the field, allowing Carlson to match up with either a defensive linemen or a linebacker.

Carlson wins both of those battles, everytime.

Also, for fantasy perspective, Carlson is not a big name, so he’ll fall to the later rounds. so you’re getting top five round talent in the final rounds of the draft.

Just something to consider.

Seattle Seahawks’ 2009 Song: “I’ve Got a Feeling” -Black Eyed Peas

If you live near Seattle and or can watch the Seahawks games on King 5, then you know every commercial break the Seahawks play I’ve got a feeling with Seahawks highlights of the current game up to the current point.

Now usually every team can be referred to by a song. The better the song the better the team is. Usually the title of the song says it all about that specific team.

I decided to make my pick for the Seahawks 2009 song. I chose “I’ve Got a Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas.

The title of the song and the words in the song make perfect sense for the Seahawks upcoming 2009 season.

Look at how the song starts out and compare it to how the Seahawks have started out.

“I’ve gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night that tonight’s gonna be a good night that tonight’s gonna be a good good night.”

It’s thinking positive that it’s going to be a good night. Well look at the Seahawks motto. 

Jim Mora Jr and the Seahawks are looking for a positive team, positive vibe and just an entire positive organization.

So the song I’ve Got a Feeling fits great with the 2009 Seattle Seahawks. It’s all about having a great feeling coming back from their worst season since joining the NFC West.

Last season the Seahawks went 4-12 so it’s good to always have a good feeling going into the next season and that’s exactly what this song implies.

Share your thoughts and give you 2009 Seattle Seahawks song.
