Seahawks prove why competition is good

What was the biggest difference between the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Jets last year? Well the easy response is that the Seahawks made the playoffs last season and the Jets didn't.

While this is true, there was one reason above all that had the biggest affect on these teams' seasons: their offseason QB competitions.

Seattle Seahawks reach out to Terrell Owens

The sideshow that is Terrell Owens has taken another unsuspected turn, this time it may be for the good. The Seattle Seahawks who are in dire need of help at the wide receiver position have called in Owens for a workout on Monday.

Owens has been attempting to get back into the NFL since his last stint with the Cincinnati Bengals back in 2010. Although he had a pretty productive season for the Bengals catching 72 passes for 983 yards, the Bengals were reluctant to re-sign Owens after his one-year contract with them expired.

Seahawks to play a two-tight end set next year?

The Seattle Seahawks just acquired tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for an undisclosed draft pick on Monday. The Seahawks already had a solid pass-catching tight end in Zach Miller who they signed from the Oakland Raiders just a year earlier.

Miller only caught 25 passes for Seattle last year though after having 60 or more receptions in each of his last two seasons in Oakland. Winslow caught 75 passes for the Buccaneers last year and had at least 66 receptions in each of his three seasons in Tampa Bay.

Matt Flynn won’t disappoint Seahawks

Last year the Arizona Cardinals signed backup quarterback Kevin Kolb from the Philadelphia Eagles in hopes that they could make a return to the playoffs. They failed miserably but the Seattle Seahawks feel that signing Green Bay Packers’ backup Matt Flynn will work out better than Kolb did for Arizona.

Seahawks must focus offense around Marshawn Lynch

During the first half of the season, the Seattle Seahawks were reluctant to give running back Marshawn Lynch a lot of touches and wound up sporting a 2-5 record for their trouble. Without the threat of a consistent running game opposing defenses would line up and tee off on Seattle’s quarterbacks.
