Recognizing the starters didn’t play it looks like we have minimal edge depth. I don’t think the Raider QB’s broke a sweat avoiding pressure. We also have some horrible DB’s that need to go bye bye. Other than penalties the offense looked very good at times.

Damien Martinez gets outperformed by two UDFA backs. Thought he was the next Marshawn Lynch lol.

Martinez was 223rd out of 257 total picks, not a lot of difference between him and an UDFA

It's only preseason and most of the starters weren't out there, but at the outset the Seahawks delivered on their offseason promises of establishing a more physical, run-first identity. While it was a total team effort, new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak gets the nod for a high-quality run game. On the first drive, George Holani broke off 33 yards on three runs with assists on great blocks from wide receiver Jake Bobo, tight end Eric Saubert and fullback Robbie Ouzts. The run blocking continued to look strong throughout the first half - and better than it's been in a while. Collectively, the Seahawks ended the game having averaged over five yards per carry and scored two rushing touchdowns.
did Ouzts make an impression?

Pretty good for three quarters. Not sure what Milroe was doing on 4th down. I thought he could have run for the 1st. Run game sure looked better than what we have come to expect lately....but I too was disappointed in Martinez. Looked like he was just butt sniffing.

• Undrafted rookie edge rusher Connor O’Toole had a good night, filling up the stat sheet with a sack, a tackle for loss and three QB hits.

Nothing worse than a QB not running for an easy 1st down and throwing and incompletion or pic. Bret Farve doing it in the playoffs had to be the worst one.
