What does that mean? It means it is time to switch gears from roster minutia to things that matter a lot more than if someone gets cut, makes the practice squad, or winds up as the 9th DB on the active roster. That kind of speculation keeps Seahawks fans occupied leading up to the season, but the real thing is almost here and the players that are actually going to play are more important. Mike Holmgren and the coaching staff always think about those things more than anything else.
Can Matt Hasselbeck bounce back to 2005 form and avoid bad decisions? Are his shoulder and knee ready to take the beating of an entire regular season? These questions are a lot more important than whether David Greene or Derek Devine will be the emergency quarterback.
I'll provide a preview of the Seahawks-Raiders similar to the previews for the rest of the preseason games, as well as some post game comments on Friday. I will also take one last stab at predicting the 53-man roster on Friday night. The game might offer some more clues or even complicate things. It got murky last year when Leonard Weaver and Mike Green were injured right before the final cutdown.
After that, I'll turn my attention to what the team needs to do to be successful this season, and more immediately, what they need to do to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
