On Tuesday the Seahawks announced there initial
opening day roster. Since the season doesn't start
until September 12 things might look different by
then though most of the roster should look the same.
Normally the Seahawks go with two quarterbacks
however veteran Sean Mannion made it as the
third quarterback. There is a chance he may still
be on the practice squad. The Seahawks will be
going with six running backs and fullback. Rashaad
Penny has made the roster at this time. Nick Bellore
listed as a fullback will likely be a backup at linebacker
for now anyway. He is captain of the special teams
too.
The Seahawks go with three tight ends. Colby Parkinson's
drafted last year from Stanford who had a great camp
before being injured is listed as the third tight end.
Right now they will go with four receivers. Top draft
pick this year Dee Eskridge is three and Freddie Swain
a late pick last year will be four. The Seahawks could
add another before the season begins. We could see
a running back out at the receiver position at some
point to. The offensive line shows 11 players now but
they could drop it down to ten though. Duane Brown
who didn't practice at all holding out for a new contract
was listed as one of the 11 players. Some of the names
would be unfamiliar to us.
The Seahawks have listed ten defensive linemen however
Darrell Taylor and Alton Robinson will play some outside
linebacker as well. In fact the Seahawks have listed only
three linebackers in Bobby Wagner, Jordyn Brooks and
Cody Barton. So Taylor and Robinson will see action as
well as fullback Nick Bellore. Cornerback they show
only four corners but doesn't include newly acquired
Sidney Jones. They are going with five safeties. Marquise
Blair and Ugo Amadi will see action at the nickel back.
Nothing surprising really with the roster. Field goal,
punter and long snapper stays the same. Go Hawks!
