David Hawthorne News

Seahawks rookie linebacker Aaron Curry lets out a roar during Seattle's opening-day domination of the St.

Well, I don't know that many people had too high of expectations going into this game.

Minneapolis The Seattle Seahawks' offense looked like it turned a corner against Arizona last week.

Those of us in the commentary and analysis biz sometimes are guilty of overreacting either way to big wins or big losses.

Some last-minute fantasy decisions work out better than others. Moving Percy Harvin into my NFC West Gridiron Challenge lineup after the Seahawks named slot corner Josh Wilson inactive might be working out OK.

You could see this one coming early. The Seahawks' first offensive series: A 1-yard run by Justin Forsett, a Senecat pass with a holding penalty on John Carlson and dropped ball by Nate Burleson and a screen pass totally blown up by the Vikings' defense.

It hasna t happened since 2000, largely due in part to the presence of future Hall of Fame offensive tackle Walter Jones on the roster, but the Seattle Seahawks are in danger of being shutout of the Pro Bowl for the first time in almost a decade.

Every once in a while in IDP leagues, a player literally comes out of nowhere and can almost single-handedly win a title for some lucky fantasy owner.A This season, that player comes out of the Great Northwest and he's becoming a legend overnight and I love the kid .

What type of season is this for the Seahawks? Each year, NFL fans across the country have a pretty good read on their teams.

Starting with today's game at Arizona, the Seahawks hope to get on a roll and get in the playoff race.

Things got ugly the last time the Seahawks faced the Cardinals. No one in the Seattle locker room denied that this week.

When David Hawthorne first appeared on the field as an undrafted free agent out of TCU standing barely over 6 feet tall and weighing barely more than 240 pounds, nobody thought he would last.

What has gone right: Nate Burleson has recovered wonderfully from knee surgery. Burleson leads the team in receptions, yards and is tied for the lead in touchdowns.

The Seahawks' Louis Rankin was back playing football in Seattle on Sunday and loving every minute.

Art Thiel of seattlepi.com says the Seahawks proved there is such a thing as a bad win in the NFL.

Seahawks still have a chance As we all know by now, the Seahawks are 2-0 when they shut out their opponent, and 0-5 when they give up points, so it's fortunate for Seattle that Jason Hanson's 34-yard field attempt clanged off the upright.

Both times leading two Lion touchdowns. Matt Hasselbeck , however stayed with the pass hitting 39 out 51 attempts f0r 329 yards.

The comeback is complete. T.J. Houshmandzadeh's 2-yard TD catch puts the Seahawks ahead.

With the Seattle Seahawks losing five of their last six, the same sort of questions keep cropping up each week.

The cut sits on the bridge of David Hawthorne's nose, red and raw and right between his eyes.
