"It just gives you a lot of confidence. You're just excited on the sidelines, " defensive
tackle Barry Cofield said. "You feel like you've got a puncher's chance, and that's all you can ask for. We feel like if our offense scores
more than 20 points,
we should win.
"
Producing that many points might be a challenge
against a Seattle team that has allowed 24 points while winning its
last two
games versus Baltimore and St. Louis after giving up
57 the previous two contests.
The Seahawks (4-6), who have not won three straight since a five-game run in 2007,
allowed
a season-low 185
total yards in last weekend's 24-7 win over the Rams. Seattle has forced six turnovers and recorded six sacks over the last two weeks.
"To get that kind of execution, that's going back to the reservoir and
having guys remember the calls and how they fit together and the principles we need to play that stuff, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "That's when you're maturing as a group. "
Offensively, the running of veteran Marshawn Lynch has
paced the Seahawks, who have scored 46 points the last two weeks after totaling 28 while losing
the previous three games. Lynch, who rushed for 88
yards on 27
carries
against the Rams, has averaged 110. 7 over the last three games and scored a TD in
his last six contests.
"I really think that's the makeup we want to be in and we want to be very productive in that makeup
but that adds to the balance and fits together with the way I've been thinking about it since the day I got here,
" Carroll said.
Though Washington
has won the last five regular-season meetings with Seattle dating to a 24-14 road loss Sept. 20. 1998, the Seahawks knocked the Redskins out of the playoffs during
the 2005 and 2007 seasons. Washington won 20-17 in the teams' last meeting Nov. 23, 2008.
Tennessee has declared linebacker Barrett Ruud out against his former team
Tampa Bay because of a groin injury.
Ruud aggravated the injury last week against Atlanta. Rookie Colin McCarthy is questionable with a knee injury but is expected to start in Ruud's spot.
Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck worked fully Friday
and is probable to start.
Kicker Rob Bironas is probable after resting a sore back.
Here tackle David Stewart, who hurt
his right calf last week, returned to limited practice and is questionable. Left tackle Michael Roos has practiced the past two days and is questionable with a groin injury. Center Eugene Amano (hip) is probable.
Defensive linemen
Derrick Morgan (ankle) and
Karl Klug (knee) both returned to practice Friday and are
questionable.
