Seahawks Psychologist: The doctor will see you now
Posted by Danny O'Neil
But this week has been the equivalent of a visit to the psychologist's for the Seahawks with their coach talking about accountability and strong people being competitors in the face of adversity.
Coach Jim Mora made that statement after Sunday's 21-point loss in Dallas, he reiterated it the next day and on Tuesday the Seahawks announced three roster subtractions.
Message sent?
"Those of us who have been around, you know that roster moves are going to happen after you start like we've started," quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said. "He had said it plain out, that we're going to make some changes, we're going to do some evaluating and he did. His words weren't hollow. They definitely did it. He backed it up."
There wasn't the need to say too much else, Hasselbeck said.
"We didn't do a lot of talking Monday," Hasselbeck said. "We did a lot of talking on Sunday. Starting Monday this week, it has really just been back to work, just kind of getting after it, do you're talking on the field type of thing. There definitely is a different attitude this week in terms of a sense of urgency."
So was it a wake-up call? Not really. Just an attempt to change things up.
"If you keep doing the same old, if you keep on doing what you've been doing, you're going to get the same result," Hasselbeck said. "After Sunday, after the way things went Sunday, everyone just sort of got the message that we've got to look at this thing from all angles and pick it up. I think we've started to do that. We're still fighting some things, but all in all, we're working harder if that's even possible. We're working harder and trying to do whatever it takes."
