Seahawks Insider
Monday, July 21st, 2008
Posted by Darrin Beene @ 04:07:01 pm

Training camp opens this week as the Seahawks, the four-time defending NFC West champions, begin preparation for the 2008 season. The News Tribune wants to know what issue worries you most about this Seahawks team. Keep your answers brief because we might want to use some excerpts for the paper. A few topics to consider:

1. The offensive line. Will the addition of guard Mike Mark Wahle help push this unit back to where it was just a few years ago? Or are there more struggles ahead for the line?

2. Running backs. Shaun Alexander won’t be doing his thing for Seattle anymore but will Julius Jones be able to resurrect the running game?

3. Receivers. Deion Branch is rehabbing a torn left ACL, D.J. Hackett’s in Carolina and Bobby Engram missed minicamps this spring because he was unhappy with his contract. Is this group deep enough – or good enough?

4. Kicker. How much will the consistency of Josh Brown, who left the team to sign a free-agent contract with St. Louis, be missed this season?

5. Defensive line.
The lasting image of the Seahawks’ playoff loss to Green Bay is of Ryan Grant carving up the defense for 201 yards. Has this unit been upgraded?

6. Coaching issues.
The offensive coaching staff has been revamped with new position coaches at quarterback, running back, receiver and offensive line. Factor in that this is Mike Holmgren’s final season, and does this staff have what it takes to make another Super Bowl run?
