There are wayyy too many people that think the Seahawks are an easy pick to regress this year...
It makes no sense to me. They have 90+% of their starters back, the defense might be even better, and the run game will be fine with the new depth.
There is not a single reason to think they won't be CLOSE to as good as last year.
@hawkmania4@HamiHawk Yeah last year we didn’t get a good gage reading on Milroe’s skill set until preseason game action. There’s good reason to believe that year two in preseason play could be a level up year, which is the whole point of QB development.
Jadarian Price getting drilled—a lot—in the passing game in these first days of #Seahawks training camp.
The rookie RB and 1st-round pick has been on the 1st-, 2nd and 3rd-team offenses in 11 on 11. Coaches maximizing his reps.

Coach Mike Macdonald talking to his #Seahawks after 2nd practice of training camp.
*Better day for rookie RB Jadarian Price. They are working him. A lot.
*Cooper Kupp diving, 1-arm catch on sideline play of the day
More coming at @thenewstribune
Tory Horton was on the practice field for Day One. Healthy. After two surgeries in two years — one in college, one last year — that alone made my morning.
Here's what I keep coming back to: 6 touchdowns on 29 touches as a rookie. Every time they gave him the ball, something happened.
And that 4.41 at the combine? He ran it months after knee surgery — nobody even expected him to test. His first fully healthy stretch since college starts now.
Now put him in this offense: JSN drawing the doubles, Shaheed stretching everything deep.
Somebody's going to get single coverage all year.
It's him. 🦅
P.S. My novel 'Before the Snap: The Pact' drops in English this week. From one 12 to another... stay tuned. 💚💙
Emmanwori injured the ankle multiple times last season, including before the Super Bowl.
Players often get procedures this time of year to prepare for the long season ahead.
The Seahawks offensive line has an interesting pressure profile when comparing early downs to late downs.
Jalen Sundell was a problem on early downs and elite on late downs.
Teams attacked the right side of the line with Abe Lucas and Anthony Bradford late.
A few thoughts...
Play-action and the threat of run was far more prevalent on early downs, and made it harder for defenses to attack the passer.
Seattle were far more likely to use shotgun on late downs and Sam Darnold was not as effective there compared to being an elite under center QB.
Zabel and Cross were pretty steady early and late.
From The Insiders on @NFLNetwork: #Seahawks first-round RB Jadarian Price joined the show, discussing his new team, the mentality of the champs and how he sees his role.
Playing around with @FTNData and...did the Seahawks get another steal at Edge in free agency from the Cowboys?
Dante Fowler Jr. was one of the best in the NFL in creating quick pressure.
Jadarian Price spent college as the backup to the consensus best RB in the country. Here’s why that’s the bullish case: fresh legs, zero NFL tape for coordinators to study, and a blank canvas for a play-caller who spent 7 years watching Shanahan paint with McCaffrey. The room doesn’t have a proven receiving back. The niche isn’t waiting to be won, it’s waiting to be claimed. Watch two things in camp: vertical routes… and blitz pickup. The second one decides everything.
GO HAWKS!!
