The Seahawks haven’t quite had the history of great players like some of the other franchises, but then again, they have only been around for 36 years. Today, we sit back and take a look at the “10 Best Seahawks Running Backs of All-Time,” and we give you 10 to 6.

10. Dan Doornink – This bruiser was a fullback, as he started his career with the NY Giants. In playing most of his career with the Hawks, he put up 1530 yards, playing with the Hawks from 1979 to 1985. Doornink ranks eighth in Seahawks’ history with 1530 rushing yards, and his best season for them was in 1979, when he rushed for career highs in yards (500) and rushing TDs (8), and added 54 receptions for 432 yards and one more touchdown out of the backfield.

9. Maurice Morris – He joined the Hawks in 2002, and had a couple decent seasons, mostly as a backup who would shine when he was put in the game to give someone a breather or when there was an injury. He ranks seventh in team history with 2612 rushing yards, putting up his best season in 2007, filling in for the injured Shaun Alexander. In 14 games that season he rushed for career highs in yards (628) and rushing scores (4), with 23 catches for 213 yards and one more touchdown as well.

8. David Sims – He played three seasons with the Hawks from 1977 to 1979, and in those seasons rushed for 1,174 yards and scored 19 touchdowns. He could have been so much more, but his career was cut short by a neck injury. The fullback ran for a career-high 752 yards and 14 scores, before his time as cut due to injury after just three games in the 1979 season. He also had 46 catches for 399 yards and four touchdowns in his Seahawks career.

7. Sherman Smith – Smith was really the first star RB for the Hawks, as he was around from 1976 to 1982. He was the first Seahawk to rush for 100 yards in a single game, and it came in the Hawks first ever win, a 30-13 win over Atlanta. He rushed for 3,429 yards and 28 touchdowns in his seven-year Seahawks career. He was a quality back that never got the headlines he deserved.

6. Lamar Smith – Seems like back to back Smith’s isn’t fair, but that’s what it is. Smith was a journeyman back who started his career in Seattle, playing there from 1994 to 1997. He still is tenth in Seahawks’ history with 1286 rushing yards and his best season with the team was 1996, when he rushed for 680 yards with 8 rushing scores, adding 9 catches for another 58 yards as a receiver.

I am deciding to use my platform as a writer to convey a message I can at least hope gets some attention, because well, I really wouldn’t mind another crack at going to the Super Bowl.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has been recently extending opportunities to obtain free tickets (and from what I read the previous winners also had flight and hotel covered), to Super Bowl 46.

On his Twitter account on January 24th he extended the following contest:

Predict new Indianapolis Colts Head Coach,win 2 Super Bowl Tics! 1 guess only,u must guess by midnight tonight EST,Abby’s hatpick! GOOD LUCK

Long story short, I correctly predicted within the allotted time that Chuck Pagano would be the next coach of the Indianapolis Colts.

This morning the winner was announced, to my dismay but not my surprise, I was not the winner.

Abby found her hat!!! After digging all night/morning,she has picked @tmacadoecious!!! Congrats,Trent!!!

Of course I clicked on the profile of @tmacadoecious, I was curious to see just who had won.

When I looked through his recent twitter history, well I got kind of pissed off, and quite frankly if you were a potential winner in this contest you should be taking to Twitter to demand a re-hat

If you look at his Twitter page Trent has clearly submitted two separate votes at two separate times, one at 4:59 AM and one at 5:01 AM. Regardless of the fact they are for the same candidate the very rules of the contest state “1 guess only”.

I don’t know about you, but I can clearly see two submissions light as day, and that is a violation of the rules.

Mr. Irsay please do another hat pull to give someone who followed the rules of the contest an actual shot of winning. Even if it doesn’t result in my winning, a person who didn’t follow the simple rules of the contest should not be allowed to go over someone who correctly guessed the Head Coach and only submitted one vote during the allotted time.

Lynch is going as an injury replacement for San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore.

In 15 games in his second season with the Seahawks, Lynch had 285 carries for 1,204 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. In 27 games since joining the Seahawks in October of 2010, Lynch has 1,777 yards and 18 touchdowns after running for 2,765 yards and 17 touchdowns in three-plus seasons with the Buffalo Bills.

For Lynch, who will be an unrestricted free agent in March, this will be a second Pro Bowl appearance. Lynch represented the Bills in 2008.

Jon Kitna has decided to return to the region where he enjoyed some of his best success as a starting quarterback.

This time as a coach.

According to reports the former Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback has accepted the head coaching position at his alma mater Lincoln High School.

To me this just seems really cool, anytime a High School can land someone with 169 touchdown tosses and a couple of NFL playoff berths under their belt, it should be deemed as a success.

Lord knows I would have gladly taken Kitna over my crappy coach.

Signed as a CFL free agent last January, the 6-foot-4, 221-pound Browner earned the team’s starting right cornerback position in 2011, recording 54 tackles, six interceptions and 23 passes defensed. Browner returned two of his interceptions for touchdowns.

A 2010 fifth-round pick out of Virginia Tech, the 6-foot-3, 232-pound Chancellor had 97 tackles, one quarterback sack and four interceptions with two forced fumbles and 12 passes defensed in 15 games in 2011.

Robinson replaces Packers fullback John Kuhn, who suffered a knee injury during Sunday’s 37-20 loss to the Giants in the Divisional playoffs.

In his second season with the Seahawks, Robinson had four carries for seven yards and caught nine passes for 74 yards and a touchdown, but made the Pro Bowl on the strength of his blocking. With Robinson leading the way, running back Marshawn Lynch ran for a career-high 1,204 yards and 12 touchdowns as the Seahawks averaged nearly 135 yards per game on the ground over the last nine games of the season.

Lynch is a second alternate for the Pro Bowl.

Baptiste was on the Seahawks’ radar screen during the draft and was one of eight free agent linebackers that worked out for the team on October 17, but was not offered a contract. Baptiste took a physical and signed a standard three-year contract with the team on Wednesday.

Undrafted out of Division II Texas A&M-Kingsville, the 6-foot, 230-pound Baptiste began his college career at Lackawanna Community College (Pennsylvania) before transferring to Hofstra in 2009. The Pride dropped football after Baptiste’s only season with the program, forcing him to transfer to a Division II school. In 12 games at Texas A&M-Kingsville, Baptiste recorded 66 tackles, including eight for a loss and a share of a quarterback sack, with two passes defensed and three forced fumbles.

The 2011 season is over for 24 of 32 teams, but for 8 the NFL season continues this weekend, as there are still games to be played leading up to Super Bowl XLVI in Indy coming up on February 5th.

Here’s my picks for this weekend’s four games, two in the AFC and two in the NFC.

Saturday:

New Orleans at San Francisco – Everyone is on the Saints bandwagon, but a lot of people don’t seem to remember how good the Niners D is. With a solid front seven that will put pressure on Drew Brees, and a run game that will keep the Saints offense off the field, I like what the Niners bring to the table here. New Orleans is the sexy pick, but I think Alex Smith and the Niners do enough to pull off a huge win to advance to the NFC Title game the following week. 49ers 27 Saints 23

Denver at New England – Anyone else tired of Tim Tebow? Sure, he played the game of his life a week ago against the Steelers, but you can bet Bill Belichick will have his goons from New England ready to go against him this week. With temps below 10 degrees with the wind chill, and having already beaten the Broncos once, I have a hard time believing the Broncos are going to keep this close. Tom Brady and the Pats move on with relative ease at home as the clock strikes midnight for Tebow. Patriots 35 Broncos 14

Sunday:

Houston at Baltimore – Two very good defensive teams do battle in Baltimore, and the big question will be – what Joe Flacco shows up? The Ravens QB has had some solid games at home, and some that he’d probably like to forget. The game could come down to a battle of RB’s – Ray Rice for the Ravens and Arian Foster for the Texans. I like Rice and that Ravens defense to do enough to send rookie QB T.J. Yates and the Texans home for the offseason, setting up a Brady vs Ravens AFC Title game next Sunday. Baltimore 16 Houston 10

New York Giants at Green Bay - The finale to the weekend, a NFC showdown that a number of people seem to feel will play out like the 2007 NFC Title Game between the same two teams. Not gonna happen. Looks like a lot of people have already dismissed the Packers – you know, the Super Bowl Champs from a season ago that have gone 19-1 in their last 20 games. Love Green Bay here, as they will attack the Giants secondary, and I can see them getting to Eli Manning for a couple turnovers early to give them a lead they won’t lose. The Giants are playing well, but they are running into a hungry Packers team at home. Packers 31 Giants 13

Next Sunday:

AFC Title Game 3pm EST – Baltimore (13-4) at New England (14-3)

NFC Title Game 6:30pm EST – San Francisco (14-3) at Green Bay (16-1)

The free-agent prize made just 32 receptions for 484 yards and two touchdowns, hardly the kind of production the club expected when they paid him No. 1-receiver money, injuries contributed to his problems, and they’ll be an issue for him this offseason.

Rice, who was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 30 after suffering two concussions in a span of three weeks, will now be on the shelf following shoulder surgery. Danny O’Neil of the Seattle Times reports Rice has had surgery to repair an problem that kept him out of the first two games of the season.

“Some time ago, we knew he was going to have surgery,” Carroll said. “We just put it off to this date. I don’t know exactly why it was put it off to this date, but there has been a few weeks we could have put it off earlier.” Rice will need three to four months to rehabilitate from the surgery, meaning he potentially will miss the beginning of the club’s offseason program.
