Either one may come sooner than you think. 6. Have none of you ever heard of Global Warming and Climate Change? Plan ahead for that contingency which is much more likely than fun in the sun. .

NFL Combine | Seahawks sit in good shape entering draft
With Holmgren saying that Chris Gray should be available for another season in 2008, the line is now a position of strength and depth. Seahawks personnel here are also extremely pleased with the personnel on the defensive side of the ball. Cornerback Marcus Trufant, who went to the Pro Bowl, was tabbed as the franchise player at about $9.5 million. With defense and offensive-line play seen as strengths, will the Seahawks try to supplement the sexier positions, such as running back, quarterback and wide receiver? The answer seems to be: They're looking at it. At running back, Holmgren has said the offensive line was the greater issue in the slowed running game, and said improvement up front should improve Shaun Alexander's standing. Yet Holmgren admits the position might merit a look.

"I'm not really going to push it by just throwing batting practice," said Johnson, who threw mostly fastballs. "What I got out of it was extending my pitch count, and I saw hitters in the batters box. We'll see how I feel tomorrow and go from there." Manager Bob Melvin said the team will sit down and decide the next step, but it is likely Johnson will have the same type of throwing session in three to four days. "He looked really good again," Melvin said. "He didn't feel he had to step on it or rush anything.
