Seahawks-Cowboys Preseason Preview: Terrion Arnold, Milroe, and Roster Battles

We're live right after our Seahawks' preseason opener against the Cowboys, breaking down who stood out and who didn't. Field Gulls managing editor Mookie Alexander joins us to help sort through a penalty-filled night, Drew Lock's outing, and what Jalen Milroe's sophomore debut looked like. We dig into the running back and offensive line battles, a defense that had some bright spots and some real depth concerns, and the buzz around Devon Witherspoon's new contract. Plus a rundown of special teams, the receiver room, and a bunch of great questions straight from the flock in our live chat.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

Our Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks kick-off the pre-season this Saturday vs. the Dallas Cowboys and there are a LOT of major story lines we are focused on. The Terrion Arnold signing at the start of the show has us weighing the on-field talent against the off-field questions, Jadarian Price's availability is up in the air, and there are position battles to keep an eye on. We break down what to expect from Jalen Milroe as he competes for the QB2 job, dig into the offensive line battle at right guard, and who should we be cheering on in the fullback competition. Plus, we're forced to look at what Dallas brings to the table, including Caleb Downs and Sam Howell, and a rundown of our personal preseason "crushes" to watch for across the roster.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

The second episode of Hard Knocks focusing on our Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks is out and we're breaking it down in our live reaction. Sam Darnold's arm talent was heavily featured and we point back to a consensus top five QB who recognized Sam's game years ago. As our Seahawks install a new offense, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's low-maintenance attitude about learning new terminology says a lot about one of the league's top talents. Mike Macdonald has a coaching moment featured as part of the open and it's a side of our head coach that we haven't really seen. It puts Derick Hall in the spotlight of the episode early, which leads to more of his truck and some great fan interaction moments. We also work through the Terrion Arnold signing debate, Leo Williams' refreshingly zen approach to the game, and an injury to Robbie Ouzts that has us talking about the fullback depth chart. Plus around-the-league injury news and a look at what's left on the preseason schedule as camp rolls on.

Our Seahawks had their 2026 Fan Fest this weekend and some light injuries sprung up. We're getting into a few major storylines that are dominating the 2026 pre-season for our Seahawks. The cornerback room everyone's watching, projecting Byron Murphy's year-three leap, and the level of contribution we'll get from Cooper Kupp at this stage of his career. Plus we got an update on Nick Emmanwori's injury timeline, Robbie Ouzts has some mystery ailment, the QB battle behind Sam Darnold could see a shakeup with some retirement news in Minnesota, and a fullback wildcard option worth keeping an eye on.

Hard Knocks dropped its Seattle Seahawks premiere and we watched it live so we can all react to it together. We break down the ring ceremony (a little bit buzzed John Schneider is a top moment along with Sam Darnold dropping his ring), and we get to see what Mike Macdonald's "secret sauce is connection" philosophy actually looks like on camera. Nick Emmanwori is already getting the standout-player treatment, so should we be concerned that he may not be ready in time for the start of the season? Plus training camp fights, the Devon Witherspoon contract "Soon-O-Meter," a Sam Darnold reality check, and Cooper Kupp looking like a future coach.

The 2026 Know Your Rival series closes out with the team everyone else in the NFL seems to be convinced is the best in football - the Los Angeles Rams. The offseason narrative around these two teams has centered more on the two-point conversion that Zach Charbonnet picked up and not the field goal miss by Jason Myers that could have made the 2025 series a 3-0 clean sweep in favor of the Seahawks. What does the Myles Garrett trade actually add after trading away a young talent in Jared Verse trade? Does Aaron Donald coming out of retirement actually matter? Puka Nacua and Alaric Jackson both carry real question marks into the season with their off-field issues that could lead to suspensions. Matt Stafford has a well-documented boom-or-bust pattern, and Vegas has the Rams as NFC West favorites despite them losing the division last year. In the second half of the show we've got 49ers training camp fallout, a full Madden 26 defensive rankings reaction, and a Sam Darnold contract question.

Live from Sunday night, we're wrapping up Week 1 of Seahawks training camp before tomorrow's Rams Know Your Rival episode drops. Tory Horton played six games on a broken tibia last year, got a rod put in his leg in February, and is already back making plays. The defense picked up a new nickname (or slogan?) and rocking new 'Manager of Violence' apparel. Word of Byron Murphy's camp performance has us thinking he's about to become an even bigger problem for the league, and we're not letting Madden's 26th ranking of our Super Bowl champion defense go unchallenged. Plus: the Devon Witherspoon contract watch continues, Elijah Arroyo is flashing in the passing game, and we've got thoughts on why analysts don't really understand the floor when it comes to the performance of the Seahawks new offensive coordinator.  Support the show Get in the Flock!

The Seattle Seahawks are back in training camp and, as a bonus, we don't have any offseason drama to clean up before we get to the actual football. Cooper Kupp is making one-handed grabs that make you wonder what he has left to prove, Mike Macdonald is quoting Michael Jordan and the '91 Bulls to a locker room that's still mostly intact from a championship roster, and new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is getting some high praise from his head coach. We discuss why Devon Witherspoon still not having an extension could be a concern, and we get into why it may be better to get Sam Darnold locked up long term now rather than waiting.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

Reports on Wednesday suggested that the Seattle Seahawks are gearing up to make Devon Witherspoon the highest paid cornerback in football. After watching Jaxon Smith-Njigba get paid at the top of the receiver market this offseason, this feels like another easy "yes" this offseason. We break down where the corner market actually sits right now and some of the reasons why Spoon is worth every penny of it. But there's a wrinkle. Christian Gonzalez is also looking for a new deal. Who gets paid first? Who gets paid more? Finally, we dig into the NFL's Top 100, and predict where Sam Darnold could fall as we close in on the top 50 players as voted on by the players.  Support the show Get in the Flock!
