Receiver [Joe Jurevicius] expects to be a good fit with Seahawks

The 30-year-old Jurevicius is 6-feet-5 and 230 pounds.

``I'm not here to step on toes,'' he said. ``I'm here to help the Seahawks win.''

Tim Ruskell, the new general manager in Seattle, signed Jurevicius to a one-year contract last week.

Ruskell joined the Seahawks after one year with Atlanta, but spent most of his career with the Buccaneers. They were together in Tampa Bay when the Bucs won the Super Bowl after the 2002 season.

``He'll do everything he can to catch the ball,'' Ruskell said. ``He'll do the little things. Joe loves to block, and you'll see that in his play. He's a nice presence, a great teammate, a good guy to have on your team.''

Did I miss the hiring of Ruskell as general manager?

Anyway, it's good to see that the new receiver seems mature and has ties to the area. Lord knows they need maturity and stability in that area.
