In Week 8 the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-7 in a game which moved the Hawks to 3-5 and just a single game back of the final Wild Card spot thanks to a weak NFC field. With the team now enjoying its bye week, and looking to return from the bye with several players returning from injury, Seattle is hoping to be positioned well for a strong second half run.
However, as Pete Carroll and John Schneider have done since they arrived in 2010, they are always looking to make improvements to the team and always churning the bottom of the roster and the practice squad.
