A severe contest was happening between Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks
A severe contest was happening between Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. Both two teams were looking forward to the final winner of NFC West.
The gimpy ankles of rookie left tackle Russell Okung, a fan of jerry rice jersey and an offense that settled for field goals on four possessions deep in the Arizona Cardinals' end were pretty good reasons for Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, a fan of deion sanders jersey not to be overly amped Monday. Still, after seven weeks, Seattle (4-2) finds itself as a division leader. Fortunately for the Seahawks, they play in the NFC West, where they can get away with an ugly win like Sunday's 22-10 decision over the Arizona Cardinals.
Carroll's enthusiasm was a bit muted one day after Seattle, a club for seattle seahawks jersey fans improved to 4-2 for the first time since 2006, mostly because of another ankle sprain to Okung, the sixth overall pick in the April draft. "We learned a lot and take a lot out of it, but we've got to go to work, get stuff ironed out and fixed to help us and keep us going," Carroll, a fan of seahawks jerseys said.
This time, it's Okung's left ankle that was injured when tight end Chris Baker rolled into him on Seattle's first drive Sunday. It's a similar injury to the high ankle sprain that Okung, a fan of aaron curry jersey suffered to his right ankle during the preseason, causing him to miss the first three regular-season games. But Carroll said Monday that this sprain isn't as severe, and he wasn't ready to rule Okung out for this Sunday's game at Oakland, although it seems unlikely Okung, a fan of t.j.houshmandzadeh jersey will play. If Okung is out, Seattle could go with either Tyler Polumbus, who filled in for Okung originally, or Chester Pitts at left tackle. "It's not nearly like the other one, (but) we don't know what that means yet," Carroll, a fan of houshmandzadeh jersey said. "He's being treated and medicated right now to see how it responds the next couple of days, and we'll just see what happens. ... But it's a legit sprain."
Okung's injury is a blow to an offensive line that was finally displaying some continuity. The five linemen who started Sunday were the same five who started one week earlier in Chicago when Seattle had its best offensive day in a 23-20 victory over the Bears.
And for one drive against Arizona, a club for rams jersey fans, that offense appeared to click. The Seahawks took the opening kickoff and quickly drove to the Cardinals' 11 on the strength of 53 rushing yards by recently acquired running back Marshawn Lynch, including a 39-yard sprint when Okung caved in one side and created a cut back lane for Lynch. But while blocking on the backside of a 2-yard run by Lynch, Okung got rolled into by Baker. Seattle reached the Arizona 1 on the drive, and then eventually settled for a 20-yard field goal from Olindo, a fan of st louis rams jersey Mare, one of five he kicked in the victory.
Both the two quarterbacks worried about the results of the game and said they would take advantages of their skills and talents.
