Only Herm can queer it for us now.The NFL has suspended Seahawks starting right tackle Sean Locklear for Sunday's game at Kansas City for violating its personal conduct policy.
-----
Tom Ashworth will make his first start for the Seahawks in Locklear's place against the Chiefs. Ashworth started 30 regular-season games over the previous three seasons for the New England Patriots, 27 of them at right tackle.
Coach Mike Holmgren said he "had an inkling" that Locklear could be suspended sometime this season, but he was surprised by the timing.
"Every once in a while I am surprised by what takes place. And this is one of those," Holmgren said. "But it is what it is."

Seattle also will be missing league MVP Shaun Alexander, Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, 2005 leading receiver Bobby Engram and starting left guard Floyd Womack. All are injured.
