    Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson struggled against the Rams on the road throwing 3 interceptions. So it was natural that the question would come up about whether the Seahawks might consider turning to their big free-agent acquisition, Matt Flynn.

    John Boyle of the Everett Herald reports Seahawks coach Pete Carroll appeared on 710 ESPN Seattle this morning and said that even if he wanted to make a change, he can't right now. Flynn, who has been dealing with a sore elbow since the preseason, is available for games, but not yet ready to go through a full week of practice as a starter.

    "The issue that we have--we think that Russell is busting his tail to do everything and he’s getting better. . . we have a little bit of a problem with Matt," Carroll said. "Matt’s still not full speed. Anybody that thinks, 'Let’s go with the other guy,' well he can’t practice yet. He could go in and throw it and make it through a game. He throws 15 throws a day a couple days a week, so that’s not really enough to get him ready in a game plan. . . So that’s not even an issue for us yet."
