QUESTION! NFC WEST STYLE!
Sports Illustrated's Jeffri Chadiha has 10 questions for the NFC West.
Seahawks-related questions:
---1. Which coach will face more scrutiny: Mike Holmgren or Mike Martz?
Chadiha: "We'll go with Holmgren on this one, simply because he came to Seattle with heavy-duty hype. Six seasons later, he still has yet to win a playoff game in three appearances and his team continues to be dogged by questions about its mental toughness."
While Martz will definitely face scrutiny in St. Louis this season, I agree with Chadiha. This will be Holmgren's 7th season in Seattle. Hard to believe, isn't it? In his previous 6 seasons as Seahawks head coach, Holmgren has taken the Seahawks to the postseason three times, losing in the first round in each of those appearances. Getting to the playoffs this year isn't enough. This team must win a playoff game, if only to get the 20-year old monkey off the organization's back.
---5. How will Shaun Alexander's contract situation play out in Seattle?
Chadiha: "He'll be back at some point -- and without a new deal."
We'll see. I've been a member of the pro-Alexander camp since the beginning, so you know where I stand on this issue.
---8. Will dropped passes plague the Seahawks again?
Chadiha: "Seattle rid itself of at least one if its primary culprits in this area -- it dumped wide receiver Koren Robinson during the offseason -- so there is at least hope."
To Joe Jurevicius and Jerome Pathon,
Please catch the damn ball.
Thanks,
Jeremy

YESSSSS!
