Figured we can regulate our talk about the first preseason game to one thread.
What is everyone looking forward to seeing (other than football finally being back)?
Here are some things I'd like to see:
Stephen Williams: I know he is quite gifted athletically (6'5 200lbs 4.5 40), and a few Cardinals fans on CBS were really high on him. But what really surprised me was that in the Seahawks preseason depth chart he was listed as a 2nd stringer right behind Golden Tate. I believe he was behind Larry Fitzgerald, Early Doucet, Michael Floyd and Andre Roberts with the Cardinals, but it seems the Seahawks really like him. He has been underwhelming so far in the NFL, so seeing him listed so highly on the depth chart is an interesting move and I'm looking forward to seeing how much he has improved.
J.R. Sweezy: Gotta give some love to the offensive line. I've heard Sweezy has been looking good and I recall how raw he looked last preseason. With another year of experience under his belt it should be interesting to see how he performs. He is listed as the starter at RG, ahead of Moffitt.
Christine Michael: Robert Turbin will be the 2nd stringer so the preseason will likely be one of the few times we get an extended look at Michael unless someone goes down. Although I will rip my hair out if he runs for 100 yards against 3rd stringers and people start saying we should start him over Lynch, when the team is playing well preseason hysteria seems to run strong in Seahawk fans. Don't even get me started on Mike Teel, jesus.
Luke Willson: I really liked this draft pick and felt that Anthony McCoy's injury was a blessing in disguise. Willson is very athletic and will (hopefully) finally give the Seahawks FO the #2 TE they've been trying to find for years.
DT Play: The Seahawks drafted Jordan Hill and Jesse Williams and signed Tony McDaniel to replace Alan Branch. Looking forward to seeing them battle it out for playing time.
PR/KR game: Leon Washington was obviously an expensive luxury after having traded for Percy Harvin but after Harvin's injury you have to wonder how much Washington will be missed. I can't even begin to count the amount of times he has saved us.
LB Depth: The Seahawks are quite deep on most positions but LB truly is not one of them. Hoping to see someone stand out at LB in the preseason the way David Hawthorne did back as a rookie.
