Larry Miles from Kankakee, Illinois asks, “Were the Seahawks in the AFC first?”
A: Most Seahawks fans are well aware of the team’s history as longtime members of the AFC West before joining the NFC West in 2002 as part of the league’s realignment that year to create four divisions in each conference.
What a lot of folks may not remember, however, is that the Seahawks actually started out playing in the NFC West in 1976, spending just one season in that conference before moving to the AFC West in 1977.
@CrzyPand_ish asks, “How many running backs are the Seahawks going to roster, and when do we panic about the cornerback position?”
A: Panic about the cornerbacks? For real? That has been one of the more impressive position groups throughout training camp. Yes, Tariq Woolen made a mistake in coverage on Pittsburgh’s first touchdown, and yes Coby Bryant gave up a score over the top—in part due to a subtle push off from George Pickens—something that has basically not happened at all in practice. But those two also had plenty of positive moments in the game, and more importantly, their body of work over the past three weeks indicates they are much, much better than a couple of mistakes in a preseason debut might have let on. And that position looks deep as well, with Artie Burns and Sidney Jones IV both looking good with the No. 1 defense prior to both being sidelined by injuries. The competition between those four for two starting spots is definitely going to be a big storyline throughout the rest of camp, and that’s before Tre Brown, who is on the PUP list, is even added to the competition.
As for the running backs question, all signs would point to the Seahawks keeping Rashaad Penny, Kenneth Walker III, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer. Penny and Walker figure to be the one-two punch in terms of getting the most carries, but in Saturday’s game, Dallas and Homer both looked like players who are deserving of bigger roles on offense. And regardless of how many touches…
