This has the makings of a disastrous first start for Seattle QB Charlie Whitehurst, who was acquired in the offseason from the Chargers. Seattle’s offensive line is an injured mess and guard Chester Pitts will be at left tackle, trying to deal with DE Osi Umenyiora, who has eight sacks and seven forced fumbles. No. 1 pick Russell Okung is out once again. Okung has played only one full game all season. The Giants, who have an impressive defensive line rotation, have knocked five QBs out of games already this season. Whitehurst, who was a star at Clemson, does throw a beautiful deep ball, but his best receiver, Mike X Williams, has been slowed by a knee bruise. Williams is expected to try to play.
