‘The Seahawks come into Sunday’s matchup at Qwest Field against the Buffalo Bills (4-6) with a 6-4 record, not exactly reeling but not exactly shoo-ins to visit the White House, either.’

‘Milloy and Bledsoe haven’t played at home since their college days.’

‘Winfield is outstanding. However, teams must be very careful about how many players they’re willing to pay at the top of the pay scale at their respective positions. This, coupled with the fact the Bills had young talent at cornerback in the pipeline, made the decision to let Winfield go the prudent move. Winfield’s deal moved him up to roughly seventh among all cornerbacks, behind Champ Bailey, Ty Law, Charles Woodson, Chris McAlister, Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain.’

‘”If I was on the return team I would not want to block him,” Stamer said of Peters, a 6-foot-4, 328-pounder who can run as fast as the 242-pound Stamer. “He’s just a huge man. He’s coming down with speed, playing with an aggressive attitude. That’s something you can’t teach.”‘

‘Bledsoe’s completion percentage (56.1), quarterback rating (74.0), interception total (11) and record (4-6) serve as primers for the criticism. “It’s been a tough couple years on Drew and on the family,” Adam Bledsoe said. “Mainly, it’s tough because he’s received a lot of blame for things that are out of his control. Some of that comes with the position. The last two seasons, for some reason, there’s a lot of blame on him when they lose and no recognition when they win. Even when he’s playing well, people are screaming for his head.”‘
