It’s been less than 24 hours since the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 13-10 but the film studies and game analysis on YouTube and Twitter is already more than most humans can eat for a whole week. I haven’t watched most of these videos yet, I wanted to get them to you as soon as possible so you’d have the chance to do so yourself!
The QB School’s J.T. O’Sullivan has already posted over an hour of footage combined between Drew Lock and Drake Maye:
Sam Darnold is expected to miss at least one game, possibly several more, and Lock looked good in his first extended action since 2024. He gets 10 days to prepare for the Arizona Cardinals, which is makes the early-season scheduling for Seattle look even more ideal in hindsight.
I’ve watched most of the Maye film study and several things stood out on the Seahawks’ end, including Byron Murphy’s dominance over center Jared Wilson and Seattle’s ability to take advantage of Maye’s “reckless” throws downfield.
If you don’t want to miss any further Seahawks-related film study posts, make sure you’re a subscriber! We had almost 900 comments in the live game chat on Wednesday night and it’d be great for you to join us next Sunday.

Charles Cross’s best game in pass protection
Per Next Gen Stats, Cross allowed 0 pressures on 27 pass blocking reps, a career-best night for him.
More Seahawks Defensve vs Drake Maye from “Money Where the Film Is”
I wonder: Is today a worse day for Drake Maye than the day after the Super Bowl? At least back then people were blaming his supporting cast. Now it’s all on him.
Byron Murphy movement skills:
All-22 Film Study
Our friend the Coach has already posted 2 new videos since last night, including one featuring Josh Jobe in the title.
Mike Macdonald will be torturing offensive coordinators and quarterbacks all year long, it seems. Bill Simmons called Macdonald “the best coach in football” on Thursday. A lot of people had him in the top-5, but has he leapfrogged Sean McVay yet in their eyes?
Rapid Fire: Drake Maye
A lot of the focus is on Maye’s fourth quarter collapse. Let’s not forget how the Seahawks forced him into those situations. New England’s two worst offensive performances since Week 1 of 2025? The Super Bowl and last night.
Jadarian Price, JSN vs Gonzo
A couple of short “all plays” clips from Hall Highlights. One on Jadarian Price and the other was every Jaxon Smith-Njigba rep against Christian Gonzalez
How excited are you for Jadarian Price after Wednesday?
Credit to Patriots rookie Gabe Jacas, he was one of the best players on the field for New England. The second round pick was someone who got mentioned a lot for Seattle prior to the draft, but John Schneider went with Price instead. Both rookie had solid debuts.
Another note for Price: He didn’t play any third down snaps. That will likely be George Holani’s role moving forward. Emanuel Wilson and Holani are Seattle’s only short-yardage options right now.
O-Line Committee: Still needs more discipline
Obviously penalties were an issue on Wednesday, and that’s something that could be cleaned up with more reps together and more time for Drew Lock to get on the same page with everybody else. I’m a fan of The O-Line Committee podcast, although I haven’t had a chance to listen to this episode yet. I know that in the beginning they talk a bit about the offensive line and Alex Boone wants to see a bit more out of Abe Lucas moving forward.
Mike Macdonald made his regular appearance on Seattle Sports.
If you have videos or more than you want to share, please do so in the comments.
NextGenStats is BS. I think I remember one play in particular where Cross went outside and the DL went inside and pressured the QB.
I ran across this yesterday. Yes, it is AI generated, but it basically makes fun of the ‘ghosts’ Drake Maye sees when he is tying to sleep ay night before a Seahawks game
