Greg Knapp was having a San Francisco flashback. The former assistant to Steve Mariucci and George Seifert thought he was coaching another one of Steve Young's aerial circuses with the old 49ers. Seattle's first-year offensive coordinator was dutifully trying to follow last weekend's plan for the Seahawks to run the ball as much as throw it.  

From the Seattle Post Intelligencer: Terreal Bierria, a former Seattle Seahawks player who started 12 games for the team in 2004, was arrested Tuesday on charges of first-degree murder in Slidell, La. Bierria, 30, was a fourth-round draft pick of the Seahawks in 2002 and played 30 games for Seattle between 2002-04. According to this story in the [...]  

His team had dropped a dud minutes earlier, a 27-3 hammering at the hands of NFC West division rival Arizona.

Yet Seattle Seahawks running back Julius Jones shot straight when asked how his team would recover from the nose-pinching loss heading into the bye week.

 

SLIDELL, La. (AP) — Former Seattle Seahawks safety Terreal Bierria has been arrested in the killing of a Louisiana man. St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said Tuesday that Bierria, who played for Seattle in 2002 and 2004, has been charged with ...  

Seahawks defensive back Roy Lewis says he is appealing a $5,000 fine from the league for a late hit. Lewis said Thursday he was docked for hitting Detroit's Derrick Williams out of bounds at the end of a kickoff return Sunday. He was penalized with a personal foul. Lewis says teammate Lance Laury was also fined $5,000 by the NFL for a late hit on the same play.  

Just when the Seahawks were feeling good about one of their few positive Sundays this shaky season, Monday arrived. Seattle (3-5) rallied from 17-0 down at home Sunday, then needed Matt Hasselbeck's record-setting passing day to beat the lowly Detroit Lions. While that saved their season -- for now -- their first win in four weeks will mean nothing unless the Seahawks can now do things they...  

Dynamic wide receiver Calvin Johnson is in the Detroit Lions' starting lineup for the first time in almost a month. Coach Jim Schwartz had said his "special" target would be a game-time decision Sunday against the Seahawks. He is active for the first time since he injured his right knee on Oct.  

Sean Locklear will start at left tackle for the Seahawks in Sunday's key divisional game at Arizona. Locklear has been out since he sustained a high right ankle sprain midway through the second game of the season, Sept. 20 at San Francisco. Seattle has gone through five left tackles this season. Six-time All-Pro Walter Jones was supposed to make it back from major knee surgery but didn't and...  

The Seattle Seahawks have added defensive end Derek Walker to their active roster and released wide receiver Mike Hass. Walker made Seattle's opening day roster out of training camp, but was inactive in his only game this season on the active roster. He was released and signed to the practice squad on Sept.  

The Edgerrin James experiment in Seattle is over. The struggling Seahawks cut ties with James on Tuesday, releasing the backup running back who never provided the pop Seattle hoped to get when it signed the 31-year-old in late August. James' release was one of a handful of moves Seattle made two days after a lackluster 38-17 loss that dropped the Seahawks to 2-5.  

His ribs aren't fully healed. He couldn't throw deep passes last week, and he often threw almost sidearm because his shoulder ached. Yet Matt Hasselbeck says his health is "the best it's been" since he fractured ribs on Sept. 20 at San Francisco. "Way better than last week. Way better than it's been in the last five weeks, really," the Seahawks' three-time Pro...  

Jim Mora is crafting more messages than wins right now. The Seattle coach just released some veterans, including Edgerrin James, the NFL's active leading rusher. He promoted running back Louis Rankin, formerly released by the equally woeful Raiders, from the practice squad. The message is clear: those who aren't producing had better start doing so when the Seahawks host the one-win Detroit...  

RENTON, Wash. - Matt Hasselbeck watched most of Wednesday's practice to rest his broken ribs, though the Seahawks expect the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback to start again Sunday against Detroit.  

Seahawks running back Edgerrin James is downplaying the significance of playing Sunday against the Cardinals, the team that released him last spring.  

Seattle is 2-5 for the second consecutive season and while the Seahawks might not make the playoffs, they will...
