Ljungberg, Freddie
Marshall, Tyrone
Montero, Fredy
Zakuani, Steve

Interesting that Riley was left off the list.There seems to be some disagreement among Sounders fans on how effective Riley has been as a defender. Perhaps the team thought he indeed had significant weaknesses. If the Union selects him, who replaces him? Scott, Sturgis, Brown, or Wahl? A new addition?

Le Toux of course was also unselected. He has a relatively high salary (over 100K) so I don't see the Union selecting him.

'm glad they protected Ianni, I think he will be a worthy successor once Marshall retires.

The Seattle Times is reporting that Matt Hasselbeck, Josh Wilson, and Justin Griffith are probable for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville, which means a "virtual certainty" that they'll play. Thank you! Please stay healthy Matt, I don't think I could handle Seneca for any further games.

Josh Wilson is also a godsend. No more Travis Fisher!

Should we plug him back in at KR or take a lesson from the fact he was injured doing so and have him concentrate on CB? I'd hesitate toward the latter, seeing how Obomanu and Forsett have been decent returning kicks, and the fact our secondary has been so putrid.

Patrick Kerney is "questionable."

Also, interesting report by Sando:

Aaron Curry has been fined by the NFL in 3 out of 4 games so far.
