4 takeaways from Seahawks 19-15 loss to Packers in preseason finale

Seattle ends the preseason with a 2-1 record, improving on an 0-3 record from last year, and having a winning record for the first time since 2019. 

The 2023 preseason is officially in the books. The Seattle Seahawks wrapped up their exhibition games with a 19-15 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Saturday. It was a mostly sluggish affair between two teams with backups playing, but Seattle made things interesting late.

Now the focus shifts to finding out who makes the final roster, getting healthy, and preparing for the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1.

40 Seahawks players on the roster bubble going into last preseason game

Here are 40 Seahawks players on the roster bubble who need a strong game this weekend in Green Bay.

We have now entered the final week of the NFL preseason. On Saturday the Seattle Seahawks visit the Green Bay Packers for an early kickoff (10:00 a.m. Pacific) in what will be their last exhibition game before the regular season starts.

This last week of the preseason is all about determining who will make the team for the regular season. Fans should not expect to see any of Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, or any other starters on the field in this one. Instead we’ll get a long look at the players on the bottom end of the 90-man roster who are fighting for a job.

About two weeks ago we shared a list of 40 players who should make the initial 53-man roster. Now let’s take a look at the other half who might not. Here are 40 Seahawks players on the roster bubble who need a strong game this weekend in Green Bay.

4 most impressive Seahawks rookies through 2 preseason games

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says Drew Lock is ‘playing like a starter’

Carroll’s claims are supported by Lock’s work through two preseason games.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll continues to rave about his locker room and the individual efforts shown by team players throughout training camp. After Saturday night’s preseason victory over the Cowboys, Carroll told the media that he thinks quarterback Drew Lock is a starter in the NFL.

Carroll’s claims are supported by Lock’s work through two preseason games. Saturday, Lock finished 5-of-6 for 119 passing yards and a QBR of 118.8. Most impressively, Lock has thrown just one interception in 30 pass attempts. This suggests that Lock is comfortable when reading the defense and making good decisions with the ball – previously his biggest weakness.

Unless something bizarre happens to starter Geno Smith, Lock will remain Seattle’s second-string QB to start the regular season. Undrafted rookie QB Holton Ahlers will likely occupy the third spot on the depth chart.

4 takeaways from the Seahawks’ 24-13 preseason win over Vikings

Week one of the 2023 preseason is officially in the books for the Seattle Seahawks

Week one of the 2023 preseason is officially in the books for the Seattle Seahawks, who treated the 12th Man to a 24-13 victory on Thursday night. For the first time since January, Seahawks football is back, and there is plenty to talk about.

Ultimately, there is not much substance to gleam from a preseason opener. It is typically rough, ungraceful football. But, it is football nonetheless, and there is plenty to talk about.

Below are 4 takeaways from Seattle’s first victory – exhibition or not – of the 2023 season.

Free agent QB Reid Sinnett also working out for Seahawks today

While training camp won’t technically start until Wednesday, the Seahawks front office is definitely putting in a full day.

While training camp won’t technically start until Wednesday, the Seahawks front office is definitely putting in a full day.

Ever since free agency began, Pete Carroll and John Schneider have been hyper-focused on improving their defensive front seven. That work continued today as the team brought in three free agents for a workout: two linebackers and a defensive lineman. A quarterback is also visiting, apparently.

According to a report by Jordan Schultz, free-agent QB Reid Sinnett will be throwing at the VMAC today.

Sinnett (6-foot-4, 225 pounds) keeps today’s San Diego origin story theme going strong. While he didn’t get much experience at the college level, Sinnett got his money’s worth. In his one season as a starter, he totaled 3,528 passing yards and 32 touchdowns and added another 174 yards and six scores as a rusher. He was named a Walter Payton Award finalist for his efforts.

Since going undrafted, Sinnett has put in time with several NFL teams, beginning with the Buccaneers in 2020, followed by the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles. Last season he played for the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL but suffered a broken foot in his only start.

If the Seahawks sign Sinnett, he’ll likely compete with Holton Ahlers for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart at quarterback.
