Assessing the strength of the 2025 Seahawks roster with Jeff Simmons of Real Hawk Talk

For the third straight season the Seattle Seahawks travel to Ford Field in Detroit to take on the Lions, this time without Pete Carroll at the helm. Can so-far-undefeated new head coach Mike Macdonald keep the road winning streak alive in Detroit as the Seahawks try to make a statement? These two teams both have their eye on NFC contention. Joining me to help break down the opponent once again is Chris Perfett of the Pride of the Lions podcast and Fox Sports Radio.

And among the players performing well on that side of the ball, is one emerging as a potential star? I'll dissect some film to illustrate the step Derick Hall has taken early in this, his second year as a pro.

Thoughts on the day after, and what we're learning about the approach of our new head coach.
