9 storylines to follow for the Seahawks’ 2022 preseason

The Seahawks kick off their preseason schedule 12 days from now when they visit the Steelers.

The Seahawks kick off their preseason schedule 12 days from now when they visit the Steelers.

The team still has several training camp practices to get through before then, but let’s take a look ahead and examine some storylines that will be worth following during the team’s three games in August.

Seahawks 2022 preseason: Games vs. Steelers, Cowboys will be on NFL Network

The matchup is scheduled for Saturday, August 13 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern, 4:00 p.m. Pacific.

The Seahawks usually play their former division rivals in the AFC West during the preseason. This year they’ll be facing that division during the regular season, though – so the league switched things up with their August schedule.

Good news – fans who are not in the Seattle area will be able to catch all of the team’s preseason games on national TV. Their Week 2 game against the Bears will be broadcast on ESPN. Today, we learned that their first preseason game against the Steelers will be on NFL Network.

The matchup is scheduled for Saturday, August 13 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern, 4:00 p.m. Pacific.

Additionally, Seattle’s final preseason game of the year will also be broadcast live on NFL Network. That one will be played in Dallas against the Cowboys on Friday, August 26 at 8:00 Eastern, 5:00 p.m. Pacific.

These games will be more valuable than usual as they will likely determine who the team’s starting quarterback will be Week 1. Long-time backup Geno Smith is currently in the lead but Drew Lock also has a legitimate chance to win the job.

Seahawks preseason game vs. Bears will be televised on ESPN

According to Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, Seattle’s Week 2 preseason game against the Bears will be broadcast on ESPN.

The Seahawks will kick off their mandatory minicamp today, bringing us another step closer to the start of the 2022 NFL season. Before that we’ll get three preseason games in August and one of them will be on national TV.

According to Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, Seattle’s Week 2 preseason game against the Bears will be broadcast on ESPN. It’s scheduled for Thursday, August 18 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, or 5:00 p.m. Pacific.

Chicago handed the Seahawks one of their worst losses of the 2021 season back in December. Seattle went into the fourth quarter of a legit snow game with a 10-point lead but fell apart in all three phases late in the game, leading to a one-point win for the Bears.

The Seahawks still lead the all-time series 11-8.

Seahawks release info for their 2022 preseason games

Here’s a look at who they will be playing in August.

The Seattle Seahawks have released their full 2022 regular season schedule this evening. Although it’s an afterthought, they’ve also shared the info for their three preseason games this year.

Here’s a look at who they will be playing in August.

Week 1: at Steelers – Saturday, Aug. 13 – 4:00 p.m. PT (NBC)

First up, Seattle visits Pittsburgh to start their preseason campaign. Fans should expect to see a healthy dose of the undrafted rookie Levi Lewis and third-stringer Jacob Eason at quarterback for this one.

Week 2: vs. Bears – Thursday, Aug. 18 – 5:00 p.m. PT (ESPN)

In the new order of things, the second preseason game is now the “dress rehearsal” one, so we’ll likely see a lot of both Drew Lock and Geno Smith under center, here. Hopefully coach Pete Carroll will have decided on a starter by that time and it won’t come down to this game.

Week 3: at Cowboys – Date and time are still TBD (NBC)

Finally, the Seahawks wrap up their preseason slate on the road against the Cowboys. The final game in August is all about determining which bubble players will make the roster and which ones will get cut.

Seahawks’ new approach to the preseason is the right way to go

However, for established stars there’s never been much to gain from playing significant snaps in August.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll elected not to put his most important players on the field this entire preseason. No Russell Wilson. No Jamal Adams. No Bobby Wagner. No Tyler Lockett. No D.K. Metcalf. No Chris Carson. None of the cornerstone pieces for this franchise saw a single snap. While it didn’t make for great Saturday night television, it is the correct way to approach the NFL’s high-risk, low-reward and increasingly irrelevant preseason schedule.

While there’s something to be said for getting in rhythm, the idea that 11-on-11 games is the best way to do so has always been flawed – especially when teams have several weeks of training camp practices to prepare for the season, to say nothing of the rest of the offseason program. For bubble players these games may be critical. The same can be said for coaches evaluating the bottom end of their rosters, as well as their opponents’. However, for established stars there’s never been much to gain from playing significant snaps in August. Never enough to justify the risk of injury, anyway.

As the NFL inexorably creeps towards longer and longer regular seasons – 18 games seems an inevitability in the foreseeable future at the least – preseason games will become more in danger of going extinct.

The increasingly popular joint practices will eventually replace these games. For now, the best way forward for smart teams is to never expose their stars to real contact.

General manager John Schneider certainly seems to be leaning in that direction. In his pregame radio spot before his team’s 27-0 route of the Chargers, Schneider said the Seahawks are in a “revolution” in regard to how they handle preseason.

Seattle fans should be elated and relieved at this development. Nothing could be worse than losing a starting QB or a defensive chess piece in what’s ultimately a meaningless exhibition game – especially when you’re in the middle of a Super Bowl window.

Viva la revolution!

Seahawks all studs in 27-0 preseason finale

Despite Russell Wilson and every other meaningful starter not playing, the rest of the Seahawks seemed to finally shake the offseason rust and started to fire on all cylinders.

The third preseason game is often referred to as a dress rehearsal, and the Seattle Seahawks gave the 12th Man a tantalizing preview before Week 1.

After being outscored by a combined margin of 50-10 in the first two preseason games, the Seahawks let out some frustration on a talented Chargers roster by blanking them 27-0. Despite Russell Wilson and every other meaningful starter not playing, the rest of the Seahawks seemed to finally shake the offseason rust and started to fire on all cylinders.

For the first time since December 2nd, 2019 the Seahawks were able to win a game in the friendly confines of Lumen Field in front of an audience of the Seattle faithful.

Last week there were only Duds. This week the script has been flipped and only Studs will be highlighted.
