Seahawks’ Wallace steps into familiar role SAN FRANCISCO — Seneca Wallace entered the game as a change-of-pace quarterback for one first-quarter play.He ended it having played the entire second half thanks to an injury to Matt Hasselbeck. As he was frequently last season, Wallace was asked to lead the Seahawks’ offense with the starting quarterback sidelined. Wallace started his relief duty off well, hitting Julius Jones on a swing pass for a one-yard touchdown one play after Hasselbeck suffered a rib injury. It didn’t end well, however, as the Seahawks were unable to score again in a 23-10 loss. “We just never got anything going offensively,” Wallace said. “We just didn’t get anything clicking offensively and defensively today, so we just have to move on and get ready for next week.” It’s unknown as of now if Wallace, who finished 15-of-23 for 127 yards with an interception, will be the quarterback next week. “It is a part of football,” he said. “We still have to go out there and play. Everyman in this locker room is a football player, so we just have to go out and play.” Finding the silver lining While little good came of Sunday’s game for the Seahawks, there were a couple of players who stood out. Defensive end Lawrence Jackson was impressive for the second straight game, coming up with two sacks and a forced fumble, and Justin Forsett had six catches for 57 yards, and five rushes for 35 yards. Then again, the Seahawks might be in trouble if Forsett and Jackson are their two most productive players. Jones stymied A week after rushing for 117 yards, Julius Jones was held to just 11 yards on eight carries. Frye fills in Brandon Frye, who was added to the team just a week before the season opener, played left tackle for part of the second quarter and all of the second half in place of an injured Sean Locklear. Seahawks coach Jim Mora was pleased with Frye’s play. “That’s an example of a guy coming in and doing a nice job,” Mora said. “This is a guy that wasn’t even on our team a couple of weeks ago. He steps in at left tackle, a very important position when you’ve got a right-handed quarterback, and he didn’t miss a beat. He didn’t blink, he just went in and competed his tail off.” Gore does it again San Francisco running back Frank Gore finished with 207 yards, giving him two of the four top rushing performances by a Seahawks opponent. He rushed for 212 yards against Seattle in 2006, and those two totals have only been topped by a 221-yard game by Bo Jackson in 1987, and a 219-yard game by Edgerrin James in 2000.
