Jim Mora is now 4-0 as the Seattle Seahawks head coach. 4-0 in his first preseason as the Seahawks head coach, and that's history.

Jim Mora Jr. is the first Seahawks head coach to go undefeated in the preseason.

A new head coach, no matter if he's already been on the coaching staff always looks to put their stamp on the team right away and Jim Mora Jr. has definitely done that in the preseason.

Now due to the fact that this was the fourth and final preseason game before the Seahawks week one game at home against the St Louis Rams the Seahawks had most of their starters not even play.

Only Matt Hasselbeck (one drive) and Sean Locklear started the game.

A few other players who are starters but rookies played more than they usually would. Those being Aaron Curry, Deon Butler, and Max Unger (starting RG).

This game, as Seahawks GM Tim Ruskell put it will feature players that are still trying to make the team or better themselves on their current standings.

A few game notes before the recap.

1) Nick Reed got the start at DE. 

2) Edgerrin James started.

3) This game was going to be the deciding factor in the kicking battle. Coutu Vs. Mare

Now let's see how the Seahawks essential rookies and backups faired as we recap the game.

First quarter:

SEA- 22 yard touchdown pass from Mike Teel to Deon Butler. Four plays. 52 yards and 1:30 TOP.

OAK- 45 yard touchdown run by Lewis Rankin. Two plays. 54 yards and 1:05 TOP.

Second quarter:

SEA- 38 yard touchdown pass from Mike Teel to Ben Obomanu. One play. 38 yards and 0:07 TOP.

SEA- 24 yard field goal by Olindo Mare.

Third quarter:

SEA-1 yard touchdown run by Devin Moore. 13 plays. 92 yard and 5:47 TOP.

SEA- 44 yard touchdown pass from Jeff Rowe to Logan Payne. Five plays. 75 yards and 2:25 TOP.

Fourth quarter:

OAK- 6 yard touchdown run by Gary Russell. Seven plays. 86 yards and 3:42 TOP.

OAK- 2 yard touchdown run by Gary Russell. Four plays. 64 yards and 1:34 TOP.

The final score at Qwest field. Seahawks 31-Raiders 21.

Well a little bit closer at the end than originally thought but still a 10 point margin none the less for the Seahawks to pick up their fourth and final win in the 2009 preseason.

With this win the Seahawks under first year head coach Jim Mora Jr. go undefeated in the preseason and in well deserving as well.

Let's take a look at some key performers for the game tonight.

QB Mike Teel- 11/19, 148 yards and 2 touchdown passes with zero interceptions.

RB Devin Moore- 22 carries, 75 yards and one touchdown.

WR Logan Payne- 2 receptions for 63 yards and one touchdown reception.

WR Deon Butler- 2 receptions for 45 yards and one touchdown reception.

WR Ben Obomanu- 2 receptions for 58 yards and one touchdown reception.

LB Aaron Curry- 4 tackles 1 sack and 1 forced fumble.

DE Nick Reed- 5 tackles 1 sack and 1 forced fumble.

Well it's backups that are very key in the NFL because everyone knows it only takes one second for a key injury to happen at a key position and all of a sudden the backups you picked in the preseason now have to step in for the regular season.

I think Jim Mora Jr. can look at tonight’s game as well as the other three games and easily pick is 53-man roster and a few practice squad players.

Nick Reed this preseason have been better than perfect. Reed, a seventh round pick out of Oregon did not get much credit for his great college success, but the Seahawks loved him as a football player even though of his size.
