Seahawks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 16 May 2008 00:47:48 PDT

Seattle Seahawks Pro Bowl middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu was arrested early Saturday for DUI, the second arrest of a Seahawks player in three weeks.

Under NFL standards, that may not seem like a great deal. But Seahawks general manager Tim Ruskell has been adamant about players on his team being of high character.

It is ironic then that only six weeks after the Seahawks gave Tatupu a six-year, $42 million extension that runs through 2015 and Ruskell calling Tatupu the heart and soul of the team, that very player was arrested for DUI. And Tatupu's arrest came only three weeks after defensive tackle Rocky Bernard was arrested for domestic assault.

According to the police report, Tatupu registered 0.155 and 0.158 on a breathalyzer test two hours after initially...

There was Matt Hasselbeck throwing to ... Logan Payne? The Seattle Seahawks' record-setting quarterback then stepped and fired perfectly placed darts to ... Jordan Kent and Ben Obomanu? "We're low on numbers," Hasselbeck joked Thursday. "NFL Europe and all."

A decade ago, T.J. Duckett and Julius Jones hit it off as star high school seniors during a recruiting trip to Notre Dame. Even though Duckett went to Michigan State and Jones to Notre Dame, he still knows Jones well. Well enough to tease him about the bulging biceps and triceps that Jones shows off each day at Seahawks minicamp, with sleeves meticulously tucked in to show them off.

After Larry Tripplett signed with the Seattle Seahawks last week, he didn't sell his house in Indianapolis. He didn't even buy a new rain coat. He called Randy Hart, his old position coach at the University of Washington. "I was fired up. He was fired up," Tripplett said Monday, after the veteran defensive tackle finished the fourth day of his new NFL life with the Seahawks.

There was nothing soft about Julius Jones on his first day as the Seahawks' new leading runner. Lightning-like bolts through the line. Muscles that bulged from his compact physique, from beneath his rolled up jersey sleeves and gym shorts. No tiptoeing into the line. No baggy sweat pants that billowed to tops of his shoes.

Lawrence Jackson and John Carlson had better things to do than sit captive to the phone when the Seahawks called during the draft. Jackson, the speedy pass rusher from Southern California, was trying to get the suddenly inoperable "Rock Band" to work again on his video game player at the family's home in Los Angeles.

Just a few years removed from an MVP season and also helping lead the way to a berth in the Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks are moving on without Shaun Alexander.
