It finally felt like football season today. A little chill from the wind. Players wearing long-sleeve shirts under their shoulder pads. And the pristine practice fields at the team's practice facility are finally starting to get a little soggy.
Perhaps that bodes well for Seattle. It certainly can't get any worse (did I just say that). At 2-6, they can forget about the first part of the season, turn their attention to the next eight games and see if they can grind out some wins.
Miami's Joey Porter leads the league in sacks with 11.5, and he's also one of the most outspoken players in the league. During our conference call with the Miami linebacker Porter was again brutally honest when answering questions tossed his way.
On his war of words with Denver receiver Brandon Marshall:
"For him to still be on that, I really did get in his head, obviously. He’s wasting time worrying about me and he’s supposed to have a game tomorrow, and he’s steady worrying about me, and I left Denver three days ago."
In an effort to bring back Matt Hasselbeck slowly, Mike Holmgren said #8 could be running the scout team this week. If that goes well, he will take the next step.
Holmgren sounded more optimistic in this news conference than he has in some time. He sounded like Deion Branch might even be able to play. Branch will test the foot today, and depending on how it reacts tomorrow he could increase his practice time this week.
Patrick Kerney, it turns out, does not have a torn labrum and just had to have his shoulder cleaned out. Mike Holmgren said he still does not know how long Kerney will be out, they will have a better idea when he gets back into town and can be looked at by the team's doctors. He will stay in Birmingham for a few days following the surgery and should be back with the team by the end of this week.
Holmgren said the team may have to sign somebody else to fill in if Kerney is out for an extended period, but he needs more information on the length of time he will be out before he can make a more informed decision.
