Maybe it's just because I'm a former offensive guy, or maybe it's because I think low-scoring defensive affairs are boring as hell, but I think that Holmgren should open it up this week. Let Hasselbeck throw long and often--we can even let Alexander or Morris get into the mix and see if they can catch.
If the Browns can score 51 points on the Bengals, surely we can?
Just so you don't think I'm completely off my rocker, looks like Jamey Eisenberg, Senior Fantasy Writer for NFL.com agrees with me:
"Browns quarterback Derek Anderson passed for 328 yards, five touchdowns and an interception last week against Cincinnati, so Hasselbeck should be in line for a big day. Hasselbeck got going last week against Arizona with 281 yards passing and a touchdown. He doesn't have a dominant receiver, but Deion Branch, Bobby Engram and Nate Burleson get the job done. The Bengals also are No. 27 in pass defense, allowing 267.5 yards per game and five touchdowns with only three interceptions. After doing well against Baltimore in Week 1, Cincinnati's defense fell apart against Cleveland, and Hasselbeck should continue the misery."
What do you think HawkNation?

No Hackett No Bomb
Laid By The Farmer On Fri 09/21/07 @ 05:47pmI think if Hackett is still out, so are our chance of throwing deep. Burelson is probably our only chance of running deep, but I think his strength is running after the catch rather than burning them down the field. Engram and Branch are awesome but they are Seahawk type recievers (short to mid range possession guys).
I hope I'm wrong, and I hope Alexander gets to ditch the club on is left arm (he has enough trouble catching without it).
