Matchup Breakdown


SEATTLE (Sept. 13, 2006) -- Coming off a season in which they were the league's highest-scoring team, the Seattle Seahawks could not reach the end zone in their opener and needed a last-second field goal to win.

Before playing another game, their offense already has gotten better.

Newly acquired wideout Deion Branch is expected to make his Seahawks debut on Sunday in an NFC West matchup with the Arizona Cardinals at Qwest Field.

The acquisition of Branch, the Super Bowl MVP in 2005, gives yet another weapon to a Seattle team which scored an NFL-high 452 points last year and topped the NFC with 380.6 yards per game en route to the Super Bowl.

"I'm excited to be a part of being something that Seattle has going on right now," Branch said. "I hope everyone is not looking at me like, 'Hey, this guy is the next thing that's going to be (starring).' I'm just here to contribute to a major role. ... I'm just a piece to the puzzle."

The Seahawks (1-0) sent a first-round pick to New England in exchange for Branch on Monday, and a day later they signed him to a six-year contract worth $39 million. He had been on the 45th day of a holdout with the Patriots, whom he helped win two championships.

Branch joins a receiving corps which already has two players who have had 1,000-yard seasons -- Darrell Jackson and Nate Burleson -- not to mention veteran Bobby Engram. Plus, reigning MVP Shaun Alexander is a very capable receiver out of the backfield.

"Adding a guy like that to our team is exciting," quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said of Branch, who caught 78 passes for 998 yards and five touchdowns last season. "It is going to be that much harder to defend our offense."

It didn't seem too hard to defend the Seahawks last Sunday, needing Josh Brown's 42-yard field goal as time expired to win 9-6 at Detroit.

"This is exactly the way I would like to start the season," Brown said.


Deion Branch hopes to give the Seahawks offense the spark it needs.
His teammates probably wouldn't agree. It wasn't even a perfect start for Brown, who had two field-goal attempts blocked.

Hasselbeck completed 25 of 30 passes for 210 yards, but was sacked five times for a loss of 37 yards. Seattle lost guard Steve Hutchinson to Minnesota in free agency during the offseason.

Alexander, who had a league-leading 1,880 rushing yards and an NFL single-season record 28 touchdowns last season, ran for 51 yards on 19 attempts.

"It sets the tone for, 'Hey, even if it looks bad, we can still win,"' he said.

Alexander looks to bounce back facing a Cardinals team against which he rushed for 313 yards and six touchdowns on 45 carries in two meetings last season. Seattle won those games by a combined 70-31 score.

Alexander, 'Hawks too much for Cards

NFL.com wire reports

SEATTLE (Sept. 17, 2006) -- Standards have risen so high in Seattle that some members of the Seahawks aren't happy -- despite being 2-0.

None of those would be on defense.

"Everybody expects us to be the team that was in the Super Bowl," running back Shaun Alexander said after a 21-10 win over Arizona. "This is only the second week. So I think we have a good, second-week offense instead of the team that walked into the Super Bowl."

Last year's year MVP ran for a relatively modest 89 yards on 26 carries -- most of those late -- and scored an early touchdown.

Then Seattle's swarming, blitzing defense continually harassed quarterback Kurt Warner and the Cardinals into missed opportunities in the Seahawks' second consecutive underwhelming win.

"Our defense really stepped up today. I think they have a chance to be a special group, I really do," said Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, who calls Seattle's plays.

"Offensively," he added, "it is a work in progress."

Seattle is 2-0 for the third time in four seasons despite Pro Bowler Matt Hasselbeck throwing two interceptions and going just 12-for-27 for 221 yards -- his first game under 50 percent passing in two seasons.

And Alexander, last season's league rushing champion, was held below 100 yards for the second consecutive game for the first time since November, 2004. He had 51 yards in a field-goal filled win at Detroit in the opener.

"Well, I'm happy we are 2-0," Hasselbeck said. "There are definitely things can correct. We're a little sloppy ... we all need to play better. I need to play better.

"There's obviously things on the film we are not going to enjoy watching."

Such as five dropped passes, a blocked field goal, a 14-yard punt, and Arizona driving into their territory seven times.

But the Cardinals (1-1), who said this game was their NFC West measuring stick, still haven't been 2-0 since 1991 because they squandered most of those opportunities. They didn't score a touchdown until Warner, sacked five times and pressured about a dozen more while playing again without injured right tackle Oliver Ross, found Bryant Johnson behind two defenders on a 40-yard score with 11:26 remaining.

On the next scrimmage play, Hasselbeck woefully underthrew a pass that Adrian Wilson easily intercepted. Hasselbeck's second interception gave the Cardinals the ball at their 47.

Kurt Warner couldn't find much room to work against Seattle's smothering defense.

Poised for a game-turning score, Arizona failed again. Adam Bergen caught a 10-yard pass, but Kelly Herndon twisted the ball from Bergen's arms. Lofa Tatupu recovered at the Seattle 29 to end Arizona's last chance to get back in the game.

"We are not as good as them," a humbled coach Dennis Green said. "I think they are indeed the No. 1 team in the National Football Conference.

"And we are not."

One week after not scoring a touchdown in a 9-6 win at Detroit, the Seahawks had two touchdowns in the first 10 minutes.

Alexander ran 2 yards for the first score, and punctuated it by taking a bow in the end zone. He could have been bowing to thank the Cardinals for the drive.

Extra defensive back Robert Tate allowed Darrell Jackson to run by him on a simple seam route for a 47-yard reception on third-and-12. And on third-and-10, Wilson was penalized for illegal contact with Burleson on his cut toward the end zone.

The Seahawks made it 14-0 when Jackson sped by the flat-footed Wilson on a post route. Hasselbeck's pass found Jackson in stride at the 12.

Jackson had five catches for 127 yards, his most yardage since Week 2 last season -- before knee surgery knocked him out for 10 of the final 12 regular season games.

Arizona had 37 total yards until Warner led a two-minute drill to end the first half. Warner -- 24-for-38 for 231 yards passing and one interception -- was 7-for-8 on the drive. But a hurried Neil Rackers missed his second field goal wide left from 54 yards as the half ended. The 2005 All-Pro also had a 51-yard try clang off the crossbar.

"We made a lot of mistakes out there and didn't capitalize on some things," Warner said. "Against a good team, at their house, if you do that it's tough to win."

That's not gonna happen.

Week 3 will go up after monday night's game.

The Panthers are in trouble for real I never knew that Steve Smith had that much impact on them. I'm wishing him a speedy recovery because starting off losing 2 games isn't good....at all. Who saw the Jet's game when they cut to commercial? They showed this little boy with a green mohawk, and I guess that was his little sister with green hair w/ glitter. It was too cute

Yo, she hate me, your team is killing me. I got them next week against the Bucs, but damn

Please, Pittsburgh...please win!

...then I'll be 14 and 2 this week!

I'm expecting Jacksonville to have a great game at home tonight.
