Arroyo I see being tested for how durable he will be. Myers may be a guy facing Life after football, with the allure becoming more fleeting. He set Records last year while garnering little Praise. Tiny little influences that have always gone into his effort at the final OOOF! in his kick. Fuller and Dansby should go back to college, knowing they have a Big IN for returning here next year. Beau Stephens (Boseefus) and Uso Seumalo will prosper under Coach Benton. Beau faster than Uso. Size and weight are tough to ignore. No doubt JS expects they'll get snapped up off Waivers, though. Maybe their performances may negate that likelihood?
1. Jalen Milroe looks like he could play QB with more work and practice.
2. Jason Myers looking like he can’t hit the broad side of a barn….this one really worries me!
3. MM and JS lack of confidence in secondary - but we lost two key starters/ rotational pieces in Coby and Riq, and MM clearly does not think he has found satisfactory replacements yet. This makes sense with the weak 2026 draft class + the injuries.
4. How Hard Knocks actually showed what great coaching and team chemistry the Seahawks have. I was expecting it to try and manufacture controversy…..
With the outstanding returning starters, new contract extensions, great Coaching, and the best GM in the League, has there ever been a better time to be a Seahawks fan????
If you told me the reigning champs, kept almost their entire team together, and went into the following season without giving much opportunity to start to any of their Day 3 picks, may response would be "well that sounds reasonable and a good thing". So, um, only seeing Price in line for a relative amount of snaps (because Clark and Neal are banged up) and none of the Day 3's, sounds reasonable and a good thing.
My main surprise is the lack of confidence in the secondary that JS and MM have. Or rather, if they were lacking in confidence, why it took so long to bring in guys like Diggs or Arnold to try and fix it up. I'm feeling pretty good about the rest of the team but it's definitely a worry for me.
Also i guess it shouldn't be a surprise, but Hard Knocks really is not the show it was pre-Covid. I enjoyed seeing more of the Seahawks but it's severely lacking in heart or emotion or connections. Far too polished, far too corporate, far too promotional (i am aware this is the whole point of the show these days).
Then finally, just the relative lack of drama or noise. Everyone looks pretty solid and assured that's come back. No big hypes, no big sells. Does feel like a team that's either got great confidence, or a little apprehension about trying to run it back. We'll see which it is very soon, lets go Hawks!
My comment to yesterday’s game post, was essentially what is Myers working on in preseason. But I’ll add a new thought, maybe he doesn’t trust the line. I didn’t analyze every kick but I noticed defenders crashing pretty hard off the end. That can cause a guy to rush.
I'm impressed with how much influence Hard Knocks has had on the commentators.

Diggs looked like his old self out there, better or worse. Hope that body of his will hold up, looks like they are going to need him.
Half this class will be churning back on forth on the PS.
It's like you said months ago, SSJ. This was a rough draft class, especially past 25 or so on the board.
