Seahawks report: Seattle may soon need to turn Russell Wilson loose [http://www.nflsalepromotion.com/ nfl jerseys sale]Russell Wilson set a Seattle Seahawks record for a rookie quarterback by completing 75 percent of his passes in Week 2. That's certainly not bad, but he is going to have to do more because Seattle currently ranks last in the league in passing yardage. There's going to come a time when the training wheels will have to come off and the Seahawks will need to score to keep pace with an opponent—and that time might be as soon as Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers. There were 10 quarterbacks who threw for more than 4,000 yards last season, and Seattle is scheduled to play four of them in the next six games, starting with the Packers and Aaron Rodgers. It's a critical stretch of the schedule, and though the Seahawks' defense is earning some deserved recognition, can this team really expect to hold the Packers (Monday), Panthers (Oct. 7), Patriots (Oct. 14) and Lions (Oct. 28) to under 20 points? At some point, Seattle is going to need points in a hurry and will have no choice but to turn loose Wilson. In two games, he has completed two passes of more than 20 yards, and both were to tight ends. Okung expected to play .Left tackle Russell Okung missed last week's game with a sore knee but is expected back for this week's game, and he'll be needed as Green Bay enters the game with a league-leading 11 sacks, six by outside linebacker Clay Matthews. Rookie defensive end Bruce Irvin, Seattle's first-round pick, registered his first sack last Sunday. But through two games, the Seahawks have two sacks, which puts them at the bottom of the league. [http://www.nflsalepromotion.com/ nike nfl jerseys sale]The controversy with Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones won’t die. One day after coach Jason Garrett said he was going to consider other options for kickoff returns, following Jones’ fumble and overall dismal play against the Seahawks, owner Jerry Jones said there will be no changes on returns and there are no issues with the former No. 1 pick who also happens to share the same alma mater as the owner (Arkansas). Garrett responded by saying he and Jerry Jones talk about everything and the running back is being evaluated on his history as well as his play this season. Felix Jones doesn’t have a history of fumbling and he has been a big-play performer for the team so he will get a little more leeway. However, the Cowboys will still get other options on kick returns ready just in case they need to go in another direction. Romo vs. the Bucs .Three Tony Romo's of the top five games of his career have come against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In a 38-10 victory in 2006, Romo completed 22 of 29 for 306 yards with five touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 148.9. He followed that up in 2009, completing 16-of-27 for 353 yards with three touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 140.6. Yes, the Cowboys won going away 34-21. Then in a 31-15 win last year, Romo went off again, completing 23 of 30 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns and a 133.9 quarterback rating. That’s 11 touchdowns and no interceptions in three games against the Buccaneers. Look for more fireworks Sunday as the Cowboys hope to bounce back from a 27-7 loss to the Seahawks. The New York Giants downgraded wide receiver Hakeem Nicks to out for Thursday night's game at the Carolina Panthers. Nicks was named the NFC's offensive player of Week 2 with 10 receptions, 199 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-34 home win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's is a big blow in what could be a midweek shootout. [http://www.nflsalepromotion.com/ nfl jerseys for sale]Nicks had been listed as questionable with the nagging foot injury that has bothered him since he broke it in the offseason. The team announced he wasn't even on the flight to Charlotte, N.C. For Nicks, he misses an opportunity to play in the city where he was a standout high school star before emerging as a first-round pick at the University of North Carolina. For Eli Manning and the Giants, it's one huge weapon they won't have in a potential aerial duel with Cam Newton's Panthers. The Giants still have the dynamic Victor Cruz, but will need to rely on rookie second-round pick Rueben Randle to make a few big plays at wide receiver. Their offense also be without starting running back Ahmad Bradshaw and right tackle David Diehl. The lack of Nicks is the biggest concern of the three, and a big break for a Panthers' secondary that has been playing very well so far.
