Preseason is finished, and the Seattle Seahawks didn’t dominate a match. What was won on the night was a beginning position for quarterback Geno Smith, however I think most thought that was a custom finding out a deeper meaning. We saw an overflow of players endeavoring to remain in the NFL and it made for an insane game even by preseason norms.
We should plunge into Winners and Losers for the last time this month.
Victors
Geno Smith
You dislike it but rather essential for the present he’s the starter. Smith is the “exhausting” choice and he’s not generally excellent, however, why get upset when neither he nor Drew Lock is probably going to be the beginning QB in 2023? In any case, I thought this truly straightforward play to Tyler Lockett was empowering.
DJ Dallas
He’s been somewhat of a preseason top pick in every one of his three seasons however he’s looked the most incredible in this specific display stretch. Dallas scrambled for 75 yards on 13 conveys and a score, with the main part of his prosperity coming on a drive in which he contacted the ball multiple times out of 11 plays. Both him and Travis Homer have performed so well that it ought to be consoling that the Seahawks have quality running back profundity.
Jason Myers
Hello, I can’t thump 4/4 on field objectives and 2/2 on PATs. Myers was on his game and wasn’t having close shaves on any of those kicks, by the same token.
Myles Adams
Adams had a tackle for a misfortune and a half-sack and a few QB pressures. I preferred him last preseason and the huge man on the inside has made a great case for being on the 53-man program.
Michael Jackson
Jackson played the entire game, which implied a huge number of brilliant Michael Jackson-tune quips made by Michael Robinson and Michael Bennett. The external cornerback was strong on his tasks the entire evening and made a basic play ready late in the fourth quarter to offer the Seahawks another chance at a success (which they quickly wasted). I accept Jackson will make the program… in any case, will he start Week 1? Who can say for sure. Jackson and Josh Jones have been two preseason champions.
Charles Cross and Abe Lucas
They may be your two beginning handles come Week 1. Cross was without punishment and I thought he looked exceptional. I don’t stick Geno Smith’s sack on him, as Smith basically ran into it in an unfortunate man’s variant of Russell Wilson’s most terrible sacks. He looks like a NFL left tackle and I can hardly hold back to see him against first-group rivalry. Same for Lucas, who is attempting to be the hotcake ruler. I’m even more a waffle man, myself.
Washouts
Drew Lock
There has been a ton of shielding of Lock’s exhibition this evening that puzzles me. I’ll give him full checks for the scoring pass as that is him at his best and that is the thing Pete Carroll doubtlessly looks for from this passing assault, yet past that? Definitely, that was not a decent tryout. I think the primary capture, regardless of whether there’s some culpability on Dee Eskridge, is terribly broadcast and the way that the cautious back hopped the course flawlessly ought to educate you that it’s an unsafe toss regardless of whether Eskridge his work. His subsequent pick is secondary school horrendous and the third one is in fact one Aaron Fuller ought to get, however he tossed a few different passes that were almost picked against a large group of players who probably won’t be on Dallas’ program on Tuesday.
You can play trick all you need or weep over him not getting an opportunity with the first group, yet — I express this as somebody who believed that Lock should win the work — he has now been not able to win rivalries in two distinct groups against Geno Smith, Joe Flacco (Edit: As was noted to me on Twitter, Lock was harmed in preseason so Flacco won naturally, however, Lock was all the while getting second-group reps well into August) and Teddy Bridgewater. That is not a killer’s column of quarterbacks. Sooner or later you really don’t know whether it’s simply terrible mentors not allowing him an opportunity or (the undeniably more probable story) Lock is simply bad. Or on the other hand, rather, his dreadful minutes are horrendous to the point that they are heinous to mentors.
His roof is presumably higher than Smith’s nevertheless his floor? It seems to be that subsequent capture and a shitload of other hazardous passes he tossed. We could see Lock start later in the season, we additionally could see him not even on this program on Tuesday relying upon the amount Carroll despised his presentation.
Seattle’s wide collector profundity
The dropoff from Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf to every other person on the profundity diagram is both frightening and embodies why a few of us have gone ballistic about the Seahawks’ way to deal with the wide beneficiary situation as of late. Derek Young and Bo Melton are likely going on the training crew yet they’ve dropped an excessive number of passes to legitimize a program spot. Freddie Swain has had a really unacceptable preseason and isn’t a program lock. Just Penny Hart and perhaps Cade Johnson (sans fumbled dropkick) have marked sensible cases for a program spot. I trust Dee Eskridge, Hart, and Marquise Goodwin will be the ones who balance WRs 3-5.
Dakoda Shepley
Truly he ought to be a victor to me since I don’t know I’ve giggled that hard at a Seahawks turnover previously. He probably thought he was snapping the ball to Tacko Fall, since it was surely excessively high for Jacob Eason to get a handle on. I was engaged by the indiscretion, the mentors less so.
Stone Forsythe
In the event that they don’t move him to monitor then, he is not welcome in the NFL. He’s too delayed to possibly be a tackle and that won’t be mystically fixed.
Last Notes
Unfortunate Jacob Eason. He gets an opportunity to dominate the match multiple times over and the outcome was horrendous in various ways and none of it on him.
It seemed to be Marquise Blair had a preferred presentation over last week, including a close-to interference. With the injury to Ryan Neal, I think he clings to his list spot yet just scarcely.
Ideally, Alton Robinson is okay in the wake of dinging up his knee. I thought he played well and can cut out a specialty as a situational pass rusher.
Joel Dublanko was significantly better compared to last week’s shock show, and I feel that allows him an opportunity to make the training crew.
Kenneth Walker’s physical issue I suspect may be a valid justification for Darwin Thompson to make the underlying 53. He’s been ostentatious and tricky in his preseason contacts and is not really an obscure ware given his time in Kansas City.
