Seattle Seahawks hit hard by injuries during 2009 campaign

NFL analyst predicts that the Seahawks could go 12-4 or 9-7 the word called injuries that keep occurring year after year.
Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck injured again along with linebacker Lofa Tatupu is injured but has returned in last week’s game. Marcus Trufant, along with linebacker Leroy Hill were injured as well.
A major part or Seattle’s defense he’s injured as well Walter Jones, due to back injury Josh Wilson and last but not least Sean Locklear Seahawks lineman is also injured.
Last year it all started with the receivers Nate Burleson, Deon Branch, Bobby Engram, and Logan Payne injured Matt Hasselbeck, Walter Jones, Defensive end Patrick Kerney, Seahawks Cornerback Kelly Jennings, and last but not least Seahawks Offensive Linemen Mike Wale, and Chris Spencer..
This season was supposed to be Seattles turn around season, but the with the way these injury rates look it might not happen. Thinking about it, the injuries Seattle has now really isn’t anything compared to last season.
Seattle has had only had four regular games this season, but the injuries it is really causing the Seahawks’ defense to stumble. That may be the problem with Seattle’s injuriess because as many football fans know - defense wins the games.
There is optimism that this season may be better than the 4-12 season that fans witnessed last year. On the positive side Seattle does have Lofa returning sooner than later along with Walter Jones, Marcus Trufant, Sean Locklear, Leroy Hill, Josh Wislon, and Hasselbeck.
Last season there were many players out for good; mostly put on the injury reserve (IR) list.
This year, there is not an IR list coming from Seattle - many are hoping that will be somewhat of a relief. Having these injuries could hurt the Seahawks early season; but as long as they keep playing how they did on (Sundays game against the Chicago Bears) then they mightbe able to have an early start off.
However, it’s not too late for Seattle to turn this over by reviewing mistakes made in pervious games. By watching films and working with the kicker - the Seahawks could make it this season.
Seattle is currently third again thier rivals in the NFC West currently making them 2-3-0. This season could very well turn out to be the turnaround season Seattle needs - hopefully making them 9-7 or even 8-8 (a good .500%).
As for the injured players, they are expected to return mid-season.
