Seahawks Decimated by Injuries AGAIN!

Let's take a look at the Hawks' current state:

Offense

QB - Starter Matt Hasselbeck - Out this Sunday with a concussion.

C - Starter Chris Spencer - Missed some practice this week with an injured neck.
OG - Starter Ben Hamilton joins starter Max Unger on the IR out for the year.
OT - Starting LT Russell Okung missed last week, did not practice this week, status unknown for this weekend.  Backup LT Tyler Polumbus out with an injured knee.
        
WR - Both starter Mike Williams and Golden Tate have not practiced this week, most likely out for Sunday.

FB - Starter Michael Robinson also has not practiced with an injured hamstring and may not play Sunday.

Defense

DE - Starter DE Red Byrant placed on the IR, out for the year.  Starter DE Chris Clemmons missed or limited in practices this week.

DL - Starter Colin Cole out several weeks with severe ankle sprain.  Starter Brandon Mebane, after missing 3 games, practiced for the first time today.

S - Jordan Babineaux has been limited in practice all week with illness.

And let's not forget our corners, starter Marcus Trufant missed a few games earlier this year, and both corners Kelly Jennings and Walter Thurmond missed last week's game.

Can someone please explain how this has happened three consecutive years.  One thought I've had is the VMAC, the state-of-art facility they built and opened three years ago.  Is it making our players soft?

Our best player this week is the 12th man, which actually has been its most successful against the NY Giants, the Hawks' opponent this Sunday.  So if you're joining me at the game, be ready.
