Seahawks 27 - Broncos 13: Winners and Losers

My great-grandfather once said that “potential” just means they’ve never achieved anything. Time to let him go, and maybe look for the next one in future drafts.

Also, why would a team offer a 7th for Coutu if they know he’s certainly going to be cut?

Though it could have to do with scheme.

Also, the offensive line couldn’t open running lanes consistently at all.

Because he’s a top-5 pick, he must contribute immediately — even when he’s not on the field.

I always find it hard to watch one player at a game, even if it’s preseason because I get wrapped in the emotion and what not. That being said Locklear made it really easy because it seemed that virtually every play he was failing.

looked awesome or am I imagining things?

I’d like to see him face some starters next week but I suppose they want to feature Cole who was unimpressive.

I have to think depth on our O line is where we are going to suck,other than that I like what I see. It was a fun game to watch for pre season trash

Matt still looks a little shaky, not sure if he’s got full trust in the O-line without Big Walt. Also, I don’t think I saw Lawrence Jackson play, maybe he did in the 2nd half, but he certainly didn’t get any reps with the 1st team and appears to be behind Atkins on the depth cart.

… if Spencer’s injury is something serious.

and Denver dominated the first half even though the Seahawks scored more points. The Seahawks’ offense looked good but really that was only thanks to Hasselbeck carrying it ala 2007. Then again, no Walter Jones and no Julius Jones, plus Unger started over Wrotto and Locklear/Sims manned the left side, so it wasn’t a situation where you would expect a potent run game. Still, to get so little out of the run in the first half against a pretty bad defense is not encouraging. And if the Seahawks truly do run the ball 50% of their offensive plays, its going to be brutal with a that particular combination.

Also, I don’t know how much, if at all, we can read into the starting defense performance since of course it was all vanilla stuff, but for a butterfingered drop by Gaffney and a needlessly hurried, left handed duck by Orton which followed, the pass defense was horrendous against Orton, who’s probably not even as good a QB as Seneca Wallace. Denver’s O-line is good, but pressure was non-existent until the 2nd units went out there.

I would definitely add Hasselbeck to the list of winners. He’s still working out timing with his WR, but put together two very nice drives in the first half and looked like his old self. The Seahawks will be in the playoff hunt if Hasselbeck continues to play that well.

Its finally nice to see us run some very successful screens.

I love screens! But not as much as QB naked bootleg passes.

I would’ve put Hasselbeck on the list.

Incapable of escaping pressure, overthrowing receivers on several occasions, and having some communication issues. The last 2 minutes aside he really did not look so good.

Brian Russell is on my losers list. Even for Brian Russell that was craptastic.

It looks like he played the entire half, but did not factor at all. I was at the game in the 300 level; making observations is difficult lol.

It may be preseason but a trick play, plenty of shotgun and spread offense, and actually going for it on 4th and short is something I’ve been waiting for.

Good to see something different….and NO FULLBACK DRAWS!
