"Under Holmgren's Watch," by Seattlest Flickr contributor Bernzilla
Seahawks Head Coach Mike Holmgren made two major announcements today on the injury front, as the team prepares for his final season at the helm. Marcus Tubbs has been waived and Bobby Engram has an injury that will put him out for 6-8 weeks. Former first-round pick Tubbs was waived today, as the team appears to have given up on the oft-injured defensive tackle. He was attempting to come back from a knee injury, which had kept him out of pre-season drills and required surgery during the 2007 training camp, causing him to miss all of last season. He was widely considered a key element in the team's ability to stop the run.
Engram, the team's leading wide receiver last year, injured his shoulder and will be out until at least the end of September. He had been involved in a contract dispute earlier this off-season, and was expected to be a key target with the losses of Deion Branch (injury) and D.J. Hackett (free agency). The always-awesome Frank Hughes (Tacoma News-Tribune) has more.

I love Nate and all.... but this is really not good.
Although, Kent is looking a lot better now for my fantasy team....
Seahawks center Chris Spencer has a back injury and it's "not even allowing him to tie his shoes right now."
Remember, RG Rob Sims (knee) and LT Walter Jones (shoulder) have both been rehabbing offseason surgeries too. This offensive line hasn't been this patchy since maybe 1999 or 2000.
There was a lot going on in the Vikes game, and I didn't want to make a big deal about it, but Walt had a REALLY bad game against the Vikes. I'm not sure if it was lack of motivation,, the lingering injury or old-age, but he was beaten a number of times.
Not panic time yet, but they need to pull this together, and soon.
