Tyler Lockett Scores 103-Yard Kickoff Return, Coach Pete Carroll Gets Bodied

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks meet up tonight in NFL Preseason football action. And don’t expect to see Peyton Manning other than as a spectator on the sideline. The Broncos utterly stuffed the run on the first play of the game and Von Miller tore his way in and got a strip sack on the second. Michael will get plenty of work against Denver, as Marshawn Lynch is not expected to play and Robert Turbin’s carries should be minimal.

The Legion of Boom was missing three noisemakers in the secondary, but the front seven were intact. Carroll said it was a sprain that will keep Jackson out for two weeks.

-Threw away their most heavily invested player, WR Percy Harvin, in the middle of the season and still made the Super Bowl.

If Bailey can turn in a strong performance, he could be playing with the first string come the second preseason game. It didn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things for the game (mostly because it’s a preseason game), but it was still neat. This is test No. 1 to see who wins. He also had a 46-yard kickoff return earlier in the game. “He did everything we thought he could when he drafted him” Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll said after the game.

Wilson played the first two drives before Tarvaris Jackson was brought in. Clark also had his ups-and-downs on the field at the University of Michigan before getting kicked off the team, so why waste a high pick on a player that could potentially polarize fans? All throughout camp Osweiler has been dominating the Bronco’s defense now we can see if those skills translate when he is competing against another team. “I’m just thankful. I’m thankful for the whole [situation] here in Seattle”. They came in and did a good job. “It’s just an unreal feeling”.

THE COMEBACK: One of the best stories of the preseason for Seattle is the recovery of defensive tackle Jesse Williams after having a cancerous kidney removed less than three months ago. While the judge deftly spun around and continued running, Carroll was left to find his balance and pride. He finished the night with eight tackles, one sack and a forced fumble.

“I’m not too emotional of a guy, but it was tough for me”, Williams said.

After the Seahawks let Golden Tate go in free agency and ejected Percy Harvin, the kick return game faltered last season, ranking 30th out of 32 teams on kickoffs and 25th on punts.

“So, naturally, you just want to be close to somebody like that because you know that they can do anything that they can put their mind to”, Baldwin said.

With Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas out, the depth chart at safety has been wide open during training camp. He completed 5-of-6, including a 41-yard pass-and-run connection with Bennie Fowler (one to watch), and took the Broncos 76 yards before a field goal.

“Show me the money.” A line made famous by Cuba Gooding Jr.’s character in Cameron Crowe’s 1996 drama Jerry Maguire. What an introduction for the Seahawks’ second-rounder. The Seahawks offense struggled mightily Friday, but Rawls again showed why he’s been garnering praise.

LINE OF CONCERN: Both the Seahawks and Broncos have issues on the offensive line that’ll begin to shake out on Friday.
