In 2001, the Seahawks sent the No. 10 pick in the draft to Green Bay for then-backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and the No. 17 choice. The Packers used their pick on defensive end Jamal Reynolds, a draft bust who is out of the league. Hasselbeck is a two-time Pro Bowl selection. Seattle used the No. 17 pick to select guard Steve Hutchinson, a three-time Pro Bowl choice, who has joined tackle Walter Jones to produce the best left side of any line in the league.
Seattle also gave up their 3rd round pick in the trade, which Green Bay used to select Torrance Marshall who had a grand total of 11 tackles this year, so it is unanimous that Mike Holmgren duped the Packers big time! The ironic part about this Packer-Seahawks connection is that Holmgren left Green Bay because he wanted complete control of the Packers and was not given it. He got the power he wanted in Seattle, but was failing before owner Paul Allen stepped in and told him to focus on coaching.
The wild thing about Mike Sherman, a former assistant to Mike Holmgren with the Seattle Seahawks, is that at one point during his time in Green Bay he was given total control of the operation, all of the power that Holmgren left town to gain. In September 2002, Sports Illustrated ranked Sherman No. 2 among all 32 head coaches in the power he wielded. Now he is has been shown the door by Green Bay!
Hasselbeck was a 6th round pick of the Packers and actually got cut after his first training camp, then he flung a total of 29 passes in his next two seasons. His quarterback coach by the way was Andy Reid, who now calls the shots for Philadelphia, so it kind of makes sense, that this guy had talent.
Hasselbeck’s biggest hurdle was overcoming his cockiness, that while it can be a benefit in some cases, it also can ruffle the feathers of teammates. There was his infamous first playoff game against Green Bay, when the game went to overtime and Seattle won the coin toss, and microphones picked up a cocksure Hasselbeck exclaiming, "We want the ball and we're going to score!" That statement haunted him when he threw an interception in overtime, and Packers cornerback Al Harris ran the mistake back for a 52-yard touchdown and a crow-serving victory.
But he worked his way through it, even after the Seahawks were bounced quickly out of the playoffs last year. This team has had its share of disappointments, so just getting to the dance, is not their ultimate goal here. While much time will be spent on Bettis, Roethlisberger and Cowher this week, Holmgren is the one wearing the Super Bowl rings.
Incidentally what ever happened to Tommy Maddox?
Take the Seahawks and the points. It should be a close game throughout and if Seattle does happen to lose it shouldn't be by more than a field goal. Good luck!
