Another Day at the Office

The Seahawks are back in Cheney and practicing again. Mike Holmgren and the coaching staff should be on them pretty hard after a sloppy performance in the first preseason game. OG Jason Murphy will be making his first appearance with the team since being acquired late last week. The reserve offensive line is an area the coaching staff will be paying extra attention to this week as they prepare to play in Indianapolis on Sunday.

The Seahawks have more talent on the interior of the defensive line than anyone in the league, but Marcus Tubbs and Rocky Bernard are still not practicing. Chuck Darby is coming off an injury and now Russell Davis is hurt. Fortunately Craig Terrill is on the roster and Chris Cooper played extremely well in the scrimmage and in the first preseason game. Cooper could stick as the fourth DE over Joe Tafoya, Kemp Rasmussen, and Robert Pollard. Cooper has been working at DT out of necessity, but he can play both positions and Rasmussen and Pollard have not been special so far. Tafoya has been out with a shoulder injury.
