Official Seahawks vs Broncos preseason game thread

You're about 5 months early to be expecting that.

Well it is the preseason and he does need to work on it.

Special Teams is looking solid.

Wilson's going to be kicking himself over missing Baldwin on that slant.

Glad he did honestly. Baldwin would've gotten decked. Penalty or not this is preseason. I'd rather see Seattle keep their players healthy.

Why does Peyton still have his helmet on over on the sideline? Is he going for an extra-red forehead mark tonight?

 

[DunceKaep]

WOW.

It's the "eye test" and the Seahawks are 70+ deeeeep in physical freaks that make you just say WOW.

Example, Former Starter Kelly Jennings vrs 'fighting for a job' Walter Thurmond III.

WOW, exciting men.

 

[gohusk]

Go for it!

Oh nice! The 49ers could use some depth at CB since Chris Culliver tore his ACL.

Jennings is a scrub compared to Thurmond. I'll give Jennings props where he's due. The kid could hang with Calvin Johnson, but if that ball was in the air he might as well have been looking at a hot dog stand other than the ball cause he couldn't make a play on the ball to save his life.

Thurmond is a #1 corner on 10 of the 32 teams IF he could stay healthy for 16 games. He was an early 2nd round pick if he wasn't injury prone when he was drafted. He was a big draft risk because of this reason and for the most part it's been true. That said, if he stays healthy, he could be the cheap replacement to letting Browner or Sherman go due to camp hit constraints. I'm pulling for the kid.

Nice to see my boy OBS making a big play. I really hope he sticks. He's such a hard worker and a genuinely good guy.

 

[gohusk]

I know it's a free play, but don't throw it into double coverage!

 

[Southieinnc]

Denver board is a ghosttown. I think Kwityerwhinin and the rest of the Denver fans have gone to bed.

This makes no sense at all. This isn't Madden. Plays don't develop with orange/yellow routes.

You go for the home run play to try and maximize yards. As good as an offense may be there's no guarantee on getting a big play.

 

[Wedgie]

What an explosive, exciting young team Seattle is.

Am so looking forward to seeing great football from them for the next few years at least.

Go HAWKS!!

 

[RegentDenali]

What a half of Seahawk football. Love it. No mercy.

He was banking on the flag going his way and just tossed it up. There's no such thing as a "free play" in the NFL because there's no telling how any of these calls are going to end up going.

 

[RegentDenali]

O starters played a lot longer than I thought tonight for sure, but considering all the scoring done by our D and ST, they still had to work to get any time out there on the field...... talk about a luxury you want to have.

All around great effort by the Seahawks against one of the better offenses in the NFL and very good D as well.

Now lets see how the #2s do. Lotulelei picking up right were he left off last week. Good to see.

 

[RegentDenali]

Jackson to Williams with the big bomb!!! AGAIN!!!

 

[Screamin12th]

I feel bad for the Kids that get cut. They could start on half the teams in the NFL and probably will :P

San Fran will be digging in our cast offs for starting DB's and if they don't they are stupid. lol

Centurylink is football hell for any visiting team. be it preseason or post season. very much enjoying this game and the fact that Denver's Offense was throwing everything they had at Seattle's Vanilla defense in the first half.

Agreed. But a lot of this also has to do with the coaching and the type of schemes they run that can bring the most of these players. Pete and John bring in exactly the players that will work with what they are doing. Some of these players are starting talent for other teams, but can they play at this level without the coaching bringing out the best in them and talent around them?
