Seneca Wallace and Maurice Morris are not Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander. Mike Holmgren needs to realize that if the Seahawks are going to have a chance this week. His game-planning and play-calling has been pretty bad this year. If he asks Seneca Wallace to be Matt Hasselbeck, the Seahawks will get dominated.

Seneca Wallace is similar to Tony Romo in the sense that he gives a struggling offensive line a mobile quarterback that can avoid sacks and extend the play. However, Wallace appears to choose his receiver before the snap. Ty Law is an expert at baiting quarterbacks into throwing interceptions by making the receiver appear open. Hopefully Wallace has seen that on tape and can avoid those mistakes. Holmgren needs to get Morris the ball on first down to set up the pass, rather than throwing incompletions on first, running for two yards on second, and then putting Wallace in third-and-long situations.

An injured Damon Huard and suspect offensive line gives the Seahawks defense some hope, but Larry Johnson should run all over a defense that cannot tackle and is prone to giving up the big play (at least so far this year). The Seahawks can win this game, but it will be an uphill battle. However, if they do, then it is reasonable to expect Seattle to win three or four of the next four games. That would put the Seahawks at 8-3 or 9-2 with Hasselbeck and Alexander back from injury. Let's not give up on this season just yet. Even with a loss, 7-4 is not bad at all.
