INJURIES
Seahawks: LB Tyronne Stowe (arm) is out. LB Duane Bickett (groin), S Robert Blackmon (hamstring), WR Ricky Proehl (ankle) are questionable. T James Atkins (knee) is probable.
Cardinals: CB Patrick Hunter (knee) is out. WR Rob Moore (ankle), RB Ryan Terry (thigh) are questionable. DT Eric Swann (knee) is probable.
NOTABLE
The Cardinals are the only non-expansion team in the NFL
that the Hawks have never beaten, going 0-4. The Seahawks have never played the Cards in Arizona.
This is the 300th regular-season game in Seahawks history. The record? 135-164 (.451).
Warren went over the 100-yard mark for the third time this year last week against San Diego. It was the 16th time in his career.
The Hawks have played two games against Buddy Ryancoached teams, splitting with the Eagles (winning in 1986 and losing in 1989).
ANALYSIS
Is anybody else getting weary of the broadcast tandem of
Jim Lampley and Bob Golic? This is the fourth straight week the Hawks have them in the booth.
This is another one the Hawks COULD win if they stop making stupid mistakes.
The key will be the capacity of Seattle’s offensive line to pick up the blitzes and stunts of the Arizona defense.
If it can’t, then John Friesz won’t have much chance to show he can move the team.
The most important matchup will be Eric Swann against Hawks rookie left guard Matt Joyce.
If Friesz gets time to set up, look for him to dink the ball to short receivers and give the team a chance to win.
