HC Mike Holmgren might be telling the public that the team will
HC Mike Holmgren might be telling the public that the team will return to its RBBC approach with the return of Maurice Morris but there is reason to doubt that statement, according to Pro Football Weekly. “Holmgren had always said he would stick with the hot hand, so you have to think Jones will continue to get most of the playing time,” said an unamed source in the report.Jones rushed for an average of 134 yards on 5.6 YPC the past two weeks, so it would be pretty surprising to see the team turn away from him. However, Morris has looked strong when healthy and he is clearly a Holmgren favorite which makes this weekends game one to scrutinize closely.
Morris will be available for the first time since spraining

The deposed Cowboy has gained 127 and 140 yards in his first two starts with Seattle, his first two 100-yard games since 2006.
Frank Hughes, of The Tacoma News Tribune, reports Seattle Seahawks

T.J. Duckett, coming off a huge game (79 yards, two scores), will almost certainly lose touches in the club's next game with the expected return of Maurice Morris, according to The Seattle Times. "There is probably a place for Duckett," HC Mike Holmgren said. "Late in the game, some time, there's a place..."The club will likely return to the original plan of using Maurice Morris and Julius Jones with Duckett picking up the scraps and possibly some work around the goalline. Now might make a great time to try and move Duckett to an owner who doesn't follow the news very closely.
