New Guys

As you probably have figured out, seahawkaddicts.com has become my new top priority in terms of Seahawks blogging, but I'll continue to keep this one breathing as I see necessary.

The Seahawks' pass rush is going to be downright lethal this year.

Lawrence Jackson, this year's 1st-round draft pick, has been faithfully updating a blog.  Surprisingly, he says feels more comfortable in the rain than in the heat. He definitely came to the right place to play football, even though the weather back east during the winter is a hell of a lot more intense than it is here.

Would-be rookie WR Anthony Russo was reportedly hurt in last week's minicamp, and the Seahawks have enlisted the services of former Colts WR Trent Shelton to fill up the roster spot.

Mike Sando of espn.com wrote up this great story on Jones and the Seahawks' revamped running game, in which Jones was anything but shy about laying down exactly how he feels on the subject of his final year in Dallas.

Today marks the start of an eight-practice Seahawks minicamp that's to be spread out over the next two weeks, and also the start of a vow to myself to update this goddamned blog more often. Being unemployed certainly has its merits, but that's another story...
