Seattle is tied for first place in the NFC West with Arizona at 3-2 but they are not playing well. They were shutout last week by Pittsburgh 21-0. "This I know: We'll bounce back," head coach Mike Holmgren said. "It's OK. We'll bounce back and keep the thing going." Seattle running back Shaun Alexander had just 25 yards on 11 carries last week. It could be that backup Maurice Morris gets more carries this week. "Mo practices hard. Mo's going to get some more carries," Holmgren said. Seattle will be without wide receiver Deion Branch who is out with a sprained right foot. Fullback Mack Strong retired and will be missed as the lead blocking back. "We've got to get it going ... challenge the players, challenge the coaches, challenge myself," Holmgren said.
