SEAHAWKS

Honestly, there is not much new on the plate today, just different papers doing the same stories.

There are a couple of real original stories, one from Clare Farnsworth at the P-I, who examines how linebacker Lofa Tatupu has become an every-down back in the Hawks' scheme. If you saw the Rams game and Torry Holt's late touchdown catch, it was Tatupu – the middle backer – who almost ran Holt down 50 yards downfield (shown in Associated Press photo). The other is the News Tribune's look at kicker Josh Brown, who is an Oklahoma school-boy high-jump legend. Yes, Josh Brown.

Otherwise, the Times did its Hasselbeck in the shotgun story and a poisoned-pill piece. And the News Tribune documents Jerramy Stevens status. The Everett Herald looks at Chris Spencer, the current replacement for Mr. Poison Pill, Steve Hutchinson.

The Vikings and Hawks meet Sunday in Seattle at 1:15 p.m. on KAYU.
