23-33 on Thursday night in the first
preseason gamest Lumen Field in
Seattle.
The game was like what you would
expect some good things along
with improvement needing to come.
The Seahawks had one interception
quarterback Drew Lock who threw
22 times completing 12 for 147 yards.
The defense had a couple of interceptions.
Lock started sluggish however improved
while the first half continued. Expect to
see better performance in game two.
Rookie Jalen Milroe three the ball ten
times completing six for 61 yards.
No Tds.
The Seahawks threw the ball 32 times
while running ball 32 times as well.
This is what we like keeping the balance.
In the past few seasons the Seahawks
wanted to balance between run and
pass however abandoned the run when
it wasn't going good.
This game showed having a fullback
helped in running the ball. Rookie
fullback Robbie Ouzts did a great job
blocking. He didn't run the ball once
though did catch one for 17. Brady
Russell the backup was the same
and caught a pass for 7 yards. Though
won't see either running the ball often
I wouldn't be surprised if they may on
third and short a couple times a game.
Sam Darnold the starting quarterback
we couple see him in game two for
a series of two. Lock and Milroe would
do the rest of the time. They could
wait on Darnold for game three.
In recent years the Seahawks wouldn't
start Geno Smith at all during the preseason
or the running backs. I thought that was
the reason the Seahawks would get off
slowly at the beginning of the season.
Of course you never know whether making
the difference of not.
Rookie Tory Horton led the receivers with
three catches including the sole passing
touchdown. He and Jake Bobo who had
two catches will likely be the 4th and 5th
receivers when the season starts. Whether
the Seahawks go with six receivers hard
to know.
The Raiders there the ball 40 times
while running 26 times so the Seahawks
defensive backs had their time to get
in good plays. The starters on defense
didn't play at all.
Preseason Game two will be next Friday
against the Kansas City Chiefs. We will
see how the Seahawks will do in that
one. Go Hawks!
