Seattle Times today released their All Time Seahawks team.....
I agree w/ most, but disagree on a few. Here is their All Time Seahawks Team w/ Seattle Sports Blogs Guy takes:
Head coach
Pos Coach/Player Years Comment
Chuck Knox 1983-91 In nine seasons, he was 80-63, and coached Hawks to their only playoff wins (three)
SSBG: Agree!
Offense
WR Steve Largent 1976-89 Team's only Hall of Famer retired as NFL career leader in catches, yards and TDs
SSBG: Agree!
OT Walter Jones 1997-current Team's first Pro Bowl lineman and probably its second Hall of Famer
SSBG: Agree!
G Steve Hutchinson 2001-current Three straight Pro Bowls make him team's best guard after just five seasons
SSBG: Agree!
C Robbie Tobeck 2000-current Five-year Seattle starter, a first alternate to Pro Bowl this season, edges Blair Bush
SSBG: I would give the nod to Bush here...he played longer and was solid for 10 years!
G Bryan Millard 1984-91 Texas Longhorn was a solid starter for Seahawks at both guard and tackle
SSBG: Agree!
OT Howard Ballard 1994-98 The House was a Pro Bowler earlier in Buffalo, but had five good years in Seattle
SSBG: Hmmmm, I think Andy Heck may have been a better OT than House....his best years were in Buffalo
TE Mike Tice 1981-88, '90-91 Most catches in a year was 29, but cleared out a lot of path for Curt Warner
SSBG: I think if Jeremey Stevens can have 2 more years like this year, it's his for the taking
WR Brian Blades 1988-98 Caught at least 70 passes five times, No. 2 in Seahawks career receptions, yards
SSBG: Agree!
QB Dave Krieg 1980-91 Matt Hasselbeck has to play a few more years to pass numbers of three-time Pro Bowler
SSBG: Agree!
RB Shaun Alexander 2000-current Team's only league MVP beats out CWx2, Curt Warner and Chris Warren
SSBG: Agree!
FB John L. Williams 1986-93 Apologies to Mack Strong, but Williams is career No. 3 receiver, No. 4 rusher, was a great blocker
SSBG: I loved John L, but Strong has had 10 consecutive 1,000 yard RB's.....he's my canidate
K Norm Johnson 1982-90 Seahawks' career scoring leader (810 points)
Defense
SSBG: Agree!
DE Michael Sinclair 1991-2001 Played 11 seasons and is the team's No. 2 sack man, with 73.5
SSBG: Agree!
DT Joe Nash 1982-96 The team's career leader in games played (218) and blocked field goals (8)

SSBG: Agree!
LB Fredd Young 1984-87 Top tackler from 1985 to 1987, went to two Pro Bowls for special teams, two as linebacker
SSBG: Disagree. The likes of Shultz or even Lofa now are better than Young...I can't believe he only played 3 years here!
CB Dave Brown 1976-86 Ring of Honor member intercepted team-record 50 passes in 11 seasons
SSBG: Agree!
CB Shawn Springs 1997-2003 Tied for fifth on career interceptions list (20), but No. 2 among CBs
