I'll probably go back and re-watch later, but some off the cuff thoughts:
-The run defense was way better tonight. I think a lot of that had to do with poor play by the Vikings OL, they seemed to be stepping on each other's toes. That plus McKinnon is a replacement level RB, IMO. Ware / West and the the Chiefs OL were a far tougher assignment.
-Sometimes Wilson's rabbit habits result in monster sacks. Unfortunately, between he and Boykins Seattle endured five "monster" sacks tonight. Really, every single sack felt like it could have been avoided with smarter QB play. Wilson had a good day passing the ball but took some sacks he shouldn't have.
-Frank Clark had a good game against 2nd and 3rd stringers but just lacks the "wow" factor that he had last preseason. And while I still trust Richard to dial up a quality blitz, I am genuinely worried about our 4 man pass rush.
-Boykins looks so good in some aspects and so bad in others. What gives me hope about Boykins is that he seems to have a fast processor and a bit of a clutch gene. With time and experience you could hope for his decision making to improve. What bums me out about Boykins is that he seems to have significant accuracy issues. Maybe experience in the offense will help, but he overthrew a lot of deep balls and threw behind a lot of receivers. At the same time, Boykins receivers have been mostly a joke, and he suffered a lot of drops. So did Wilson. This was an issue last week as well.
-I thought Jake Heaps looked better than his numbers last week. This week he looked so bad that I'm wishing I had never said anything nice about him.
-Hopefully Jarran Reed is okay. He had a nice game.
-The Seahawks run blocking is getting it done. And the protection looked a lot better than the sack total would suggest.
-Christine Michael continues to settle for a bit less than he should at times, but he's in the zone doing what he's doing. He seems like a good safety net for Rawls durability concerns.
-Pope is having a nice preseason, he kind of reminds me of Miles Gaskin or maybe a poor man's Justin Forsett. Is it possible he could play his way on the team? Probably not, though Alex Collins and Zac Brooks are doing their best to help Pope's case.
-I wasn't the biggest fan of Alex Collins coming out of college but I did think he did two things well back then: run for power and hit his 2nd gear quickly. It's only two games and 11 total touches, but so far Collins has been abysmal in short yardage and seems to be permanently stuck in 1st gear.
Collins' 4th and 1 carry in the 1st quarter displayed hilariously bad vision. There was only one Vikings defender who even had a chance to stop Collins, and he was on the ground by the time Collins got there, yet Collins lurched and fell back short of the line as if running into an invisible wall. Watching the replay, had Collins run to almost any other spot within a 10 foot area he would have had the first. I honestly wondered if half the fans in the stands could have picked up that first given the blocking Collins had and squandered. He was also pretty bad on the 3rd and 1 carry that preceded it.
Collins also whiffed on a block that contributed to a sack, and topped things off with an embarrassing drop. For the preseason Collins is averaging 2.0 yards per carry with a woeful 16% success rate.
Did he gain weight his offseason? He looks over-sized and ultra slow all of a sudden. In college he wasn't a burner but he did have nice burst. That burst is a distant memory right now. If we ever get the Alex Collins from Arkansas he's a guy worth having as a situational RB, but so far the NFL version looks like a shell of the Razorback version.
-Zac Brooks wasn't quite as awful, but he had some middling carries on plays that C-mike would have gone for 10 on and Rawls would have gone for 20 on. Brooks can't seem to clear the first level without tripping and falling immediately, even if he is only barely touched. That said, he only had 2 carries. But I'm guessing this will be a theme for him. Brooks also underwhelmed in protection against 3rd stringers.
-George Farmer had another nice game, 25 yards on 2 touches. He's a corner playing RB as an emergency measure, but he's outplaying Seattle's 2016 draft picks so far.
-I don't really care about Seattle being shut out in the first half. The offense moved the ball well, but made an avalanche of mistakes at inopportune times to cost them points.
-I'm not going to over-react to one preseason game, but I hope John Schneider has Clint Gresham on speed dial. There's gotta be a better way to save $295k in cap space than at long snapper.
-Nick Vannett added another pretty catch. Sadly, it was not a great night for Brandon Williams or Luke Willson.
-The Mariners also lost an ugly game tonight, punting an Iwakuma start against a really bad team. Tonight kinda sucked.
-It was fun watching Tony McDaniel rag doll a RB and point to his bicep. At this point in his career McDaniel is probably a below average NFL player, but he really stood out among our 3rd stringers, which kind of says something about the lack of standouts in the back of Seattle's roster right now.
-Our fullbacks have been underwhelming so far. Re-sign Tuku?
-Tyler Lockett is really good.
-Did Paul Richardson play?
-I watched all 16 preseason games last week. I hate to say it, but Seattle's 2nd and 3rd stringers are not as talented as at least half the other teams' backups out there. There's a reason these first two preseason games have been shitshows, the back 70 on our roster just isn't all that great right now. The good news is, Seattle still probably has the best starter group in the league, despite some of their struggles in clutch moments tonight.
-Lastly, I need to give some props to Minny's pass D. Yeah, they dialed up some blitzes and did some stuff out of revenge, but their coverage was tough to throw on for most of the game, and they did an outstanding job of punishing Boykins and Wilson for their rabbit QB ways (with the exception of one highly entertaining run by Boykins).
