Can Hasselbeck Stay Healthy For the Seattle Seahawks?

Monday - November 23, 2009 | NFL | comment balloon

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’s season started off well with a win against the St. Louis Rams – who are in the process of rebuilding their team. The Seattle Seahawks finished third in the NFC West last season with a 4-12 record, Seahawks can not go through another season like that.

New head coach Jim Mora should have his team ready week in and week out and the embarrassment of the 08′ season will be forgotten. He’s the type of no non-sense coach and going to make some quick improvements this 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.

Since their Super Bowl appearance in 05′ – between 06′-08′ – the Seattle Seahawks have a record of 23-25 in the regular season and 2-2 in the playoffs. The Seahawks need to improve a great deal on offense if they hope to contend for the NFC West title – the Seahawks are in the bottom third in offense in the NFL.

RB Julius Jones is a formidable player who had a great season for the Dallas Cowboys in 06′ with over a 1,000 yeard rushing. He will need a 1,000 yard season for the Seahawks to make any noise in the NFC West.

Week 2 wasn’t as kind to them, as the team lost in San Francisco to the 49ers, a fellow NFC West team. Not only did they lose the game, but Hasselbeck took a serious shot.

With a 1-1 record, the Seahawks’ next few games will largely determine the course of their season. The race is wide open in the NFC West, and a healthy Hasselbeck is critical to giving the team what it needs.
