Seahawks Close Out Preseason with Home Game Against Raiders

August 26, 2008

**

The Seahawks close out the preseason for the

third consecutive season hosting the Oakland

Raiders at Qwest Field on Friday, August 29. Kickoff

is slated for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised

on KING 5 in Seattle.

The Seahawks are 4-2 all-time against the Raiders in preseason play,

including last year's 19-14 win at Qwest Field in the preseason finale.

Oakland won the first preseason game played between these two teams,

45-28, on September 4, 1976. Seattle won the following preseason's matchup,

12-10, in 1977 in the Kingdome. The teams then split the next two meetings

in Oakland, with Seattle winning 24-19 on August 8, 1996, and dropping a

20-0 decision on August 24, 2000.

There is a long history between the Seahawks and Raiders when both

teams were members of the AFC West from 1977-2001. The Seahawks are

23-27 all-time vs. the Raiders in the regular season. The 50 games played

against the Raiders are the second most against any other team besides the

Denver Broncos whom the Seahawks have faced 51 times.

In the regular season, the Seahawks are 14-10 in games played in

Seattle.

The Seahawks and Raiders have squared off twice in the postseason with

each team winning once. Seattle lost to the Los Angeles Raiders 30-14 in the

1983 AFC Championship Game in the Seahawks first-ever conference title

appearance on January 8, 1984. The following season, Seattle returned the

favor defeating the Raiders 13-7 in the AFC Wild Card Game. Kickoff: Friday, August 29

Seahawks vs. Raiders August 29, 2008 7:00 p.m. PT **Since week 16 of the 2002 season, the Seahawks have used

the home crowd to their advantage. During that span, Seattle is

34-7 at Qwest Field, the second-best regular-season home record

during that span. Seattle had a club-record 12-game home win

streak that was snapped with a loss to the Vikings (10/22/06).

Beginning in 2001, when the Seahawks posted a 6-2 record

at Husky Stadium, Seattle's .750 winning percentage at home is

second-best in the NFL. **

record in divisional play is tied for first in the NFL with former AFC

and are proud of the role they play in helping the team win on the

field. In 2005, Seattle led the NFL in opponent false start penalties

at Qwest Field with 24, including 11 versus the N.Y. Giants. In

2006, Seattle once again led the NFL in that category with 26 in

their eight home games and posted 18 in 2007. Seattle's total of

68, is tops in the NFL. **

XL run, the Seahawks ended up fifth with 41 in 2006 and fourth last

season with 45. Opponents do not know where to expect the pressure

from. Eleven different players contributed to last year's total

with 29.5 from the defensive line, 13.5 from linebackers, and 2.0

from the defensive backs. Patrick Kerney led the NFC (2nd NFL)

with 14.5 sacks while Julian Peterson ranked tied for 10th in the

NFC with 9.5.

Since the beginning of 2005, only San Diego has registered

more sacks than Seattle. **

President & General Manager Tim Ruskell has put his handprint

on the defensive side of the ball since his arrival in 2005. He

drafted linebackers Lofa Tatupu and Leroy Hill in 2005, CB Kelly

Jennings, DE Darryl Tapp in 2006, DT Brandon Mebane in 2007

and added LB Julian Peterson, DE Patrick Kerney and safeties

Deon Grant and Brian Russell via free agency since 2006. In all,

Seattle's 2007 defense boasted seven new starters at different

positions.

So far this preseason, it marks the first time in franchise history

that the team returns all 11 defensive starters that ended the previous

season in that role.

Since taking over as head man in 2005, Ruskell has acquired

nine defensive starters and a projected seven offensive starters via

draft, free agency or trade that will take the field in 2008. **

Seahawks vs. Raiders August 29, 2008 7:00 p.m. PT **The Seahawks clinched their fourth consecutive division title in

2007, good for the third-longest active streak in the league. The

Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots have won their

respective divisions the previous five seasons, tying for the league

lead.

If the Seahawks win it this year, it will be the first time an NFC

West team won five straight since San Francisco from 1986-90. **

has enjoyed hosting teams on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field

and the raucous confines of Qwest Field. His 99-29 (.773) regular

season home record winning percentage in his 17 years as head

coach ranks tied for second all-time in NFL history. He has also

posted perfect 8-0 home records four times (1996, 1997, 2003,

2005). **

the fewest in the NFL.

penalized for the third time in team history, second under

West crowns, Seattle's fans do not want to miss out on seeing their

team in action. Since Qwest Field opened in 2002, all but one

game has sold out, giving the team 52 consecutive sell outs,

parlayed that to an 18-5 record when scoring first. On the flipside,

the team has overcome early deficits more often than not and have

posted a 14-11 record when falling behind early. **

Mike Holmgren enters his tenth season as head coach of the

Seattle Seahawks after guiding the club to its fourth straight NFC

West title in 2007 and the club's fifth consecutive postseason

appearance. His clubs have posted winning records seven of his

nine seasons, including five division titles after winning the AFC

West in 1999, his first season with the team and a club-record 13

wins in 2005. He announced on January 22, 2008, that this season

will be his last in Seattle.

The league's winningest active head coach, Holmgren is tied

(Philadelphia's Andy Reid) as the third longest-tenured head coach

with the same club behind Tennessee's Jeff Fisher and Denver's

Mike Shanahan (14 years). His 170-110 (.607) career head coaching

record trails Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs' 171-101 record for tenth

place in NFL history.

As the longest-tenured coach in club history, he passed Chuck

Knox last season for most career Seattle victories. He is currently

86-68 (.558) while Knox compiled an 83-67 record in his nine years

at the helm. He is the only coach in NFL history to record 75 or

more wins with two franchises (Green Bay).

Holmgren originally joined the Seahawks as Executive Vice

President/General Manager & Head Coach on January 9, 1999.

Following the 2002 season, Holmgren decided to focus exclusively

on coaching and relinquished his duties as general manager.

Since 2003, the Seahawks 51-29 record (.638) is the best in

the NFC and are the only team in the NFC with a winning record

each of the last five seasons. Seattle has posted five consecutive

winning seasons for the first time in club history. **

Since being drafted in 2005, three-time Pro Bowler Lofa

Tatupu has become a mainstay in the middle. Not since Dean

Wells started the 1995-98 seasons have the Seahawks had a player

open consecutive seasons at the position. He has led the team

in tackles in each of his three seasons, including a career-high 123

in 2006.

Tatupu, named AP first-team All-Pro in 2007, tied (Kenny

Easley, Eugene Robinson, Darryl Williams, Marcus Trufant) the

club-record with three interceptions and led the team with 11 solo

stops at Philadelphia (12/2) last season. He was named NFC

Defensive Player of the Week 13, his first player of the week honor. **

For wide receiver Bobby Engram, finding holes in the opponent's

secondary has become easy for the 13-year veteran from

Penn State, and Seahawks quarterbacks have looked to #84 in key

situations for first-down yardage.

Since 2001, he has 352 catches for 4,370 yards and 18 touchdowns

with Seattle. Of those 352 catches, 240 have been converted

for first downs (68.2%). At Carolina (12/16/07), he set a careerhigh

and became the sixth Seattle receiver to record a 1,000-yard

season. A week later vs. Baltimore he set Seattle's single-season

catch mark and finished with a career-high 94.

He currently ranks fifth in Seattle history in receptions, yards

and seventh in receiving touchdowns. For his career, he has 598

catches for 7,201 yards and 35 touchdowns. He set a career-high

with 14 catches for 139 yards and one score at Cleveland

(11/4/07), just one catch shy of the club-record (Steve Largent). **

Much like the multi-purpose household solution, the

Seahawks have a multi-talented offensive weapon in Nate

Burleson. He was second on the team with 50 catches for 694

yards with a team-leading 11 touchdowns (nine rec., two ret.) in

2007.

He is a key contributor on special teams, returning 58 punts for

658 yards (11.3 avg., 2nd NFC, 4th NFL) including a club-record

tying 94t-yard punt return at Cleveland (11/4/07). He scored his

first-career kickoff return touchdown vs. St. Louis (10/21/07) on a

91-yarder, the fifth-longest in team history. That performance

helped him earn NFC Special Teams Player of the Week 7 honors.

He also holds the third-longest punt return in team history, taking

one back 90 yards for a score vs. St. Louis last season

(11/12/06). With Minnesota, he had a 91-yard punt return vs. Indianapolis (11/8/04) and is the only player in NFL historyto

return three punts 90+ yards for a touchdown in his career.

He joined Charlie Rogers as the only two Seahawks to return

a punt and kickoff for a touchdown in their careers. **

The Seattle Seahawks announced the completion of the

Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC), after spending the last 22

years in Kirkland. The project was completed on-time and the first

Seahawks employees staffed the building on August 4.

The state-of-the-art training facility is located on Lake

Washington and is more than 225,000

sq. ft., second largest in the NFL. The

site is bounded by Interstate 405 to the

east, Lake Washington to the west, residential

properties to the north and open

land to the south. The building sits on

19-waterfront acres, compared to 10 acres in Kirkland.

VMAC was designed as a year-round training facility and

superior work environment for Seahawks players, coaches and

staff. The first class facility features approximately 50,000 sq. ft of

training space including: brand new weight and training equipment,

146-person auditorium and a locker room with 80 custom lockers.

A 30-foot training pool is equipped with the ability to video tape the

players rehabbing while in the water, allowing for a more effective

and efficient workout.

VMAC also features a player lounge which will allow players

to relax in between practices and meetings. The lounge will include

a projection television with XBOX, music ports and computers to

check email and other websites.

The move was necessary to accommodate growth in several

key business segments. The new facility has tripled the floor space

and provides increased production capacity. VMAC will allow the

organization to work under one roof as the Kirkland front office,

Corporate Sponsorships, Suites, Fan Development and the

Sounders FC staff housed in Renton.

The building is equipped with a permanent indoor practice

facility, an amenity that is currently lacking at the Kirkland facility.

The practice facility is more than 88,000 sq. ft. and 112 ft. high (95

ft. clear). The playing surface is the identical FieldTurf that is used

at Qwest Field. VMAC will also feature three regulation size outdoor

grass fields, and fans will be able to watch the team practice

during training camp in 2009.

Football Operations and team practices began on Monday,

August 18. **
