SEAHAWKS

It doesn’t have the same cachet as Bledsoe and Romo, but the Hawks have their changing of the guard (actually safety).

Michael Boulware (on the ground at right; Associated Press photo) is out of the starting lineup at strong safety, replaced by Jordan Babineaux. And there might be a change at (left) guard. Chris Spencer has been starting since Pork Chop Womack’s injury, but Spencer might be replaced by Rob Sims.

The change – or changes – were covered by every Seattle-area newspaper, including the P-I, Everett and Tacoma.

There were also a couple of Damon Huard (now starting at quarterback for the Chiefs) in the Times and Herald.

Dave Boling hits a point I really agree with: out of misery comes opportunity. If the Hawks can win a few games with Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck out, the rest of the NFC West will really be worried when the duo returns.
