Holy smokes, Seattle! Real football is BACK, and we are absolutely starved for some actual gridiron action. Tonight, our beloved Seahawks hit the field for the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys at home, and if you aren’t buzzing, you need to check your pulse. This isn’t just another exhibition game; this is our first peek at what could be a wild ride this season.
Milroe Ready to Unleash, Depth Positions Up for Grabs
The biggest buzz swirling around T-Mobile Park tonight? That’s got to be Jalen Milroe. This dude is one of the most intriguing players to watch in this opener. The word out of camp is that he’s getting a chance to “let it rip” against the Cowboys. We’ve been looking forward to seeing how far Milroe has improved from last season, and tonight’s the night he can show us. Beyond Milroe, a ton of depth positions are up for grabs. These early games are where guys make their mark, where the grit shows, and where our coaches figure out who belongs. Plus, the team finds itself rather short on running backs for this game, so we’re definitely going to see them dig deep there.
Sam Darnold is Our QB, and Kupp Chases History
While Milroe is looking to make some noise, let’s not forget who runs the show. The world now knows Sam Darnold is the Seahawks’ quarterback. It’s a huge shift from this time last year when he barely knew anyone here. Now, he’s “super, smooth Sam Darnold,” and that confidence is exactly what we need. And speaking of offensive firepower, keep an eye on Cooper Kupp. This man is apparently aiming for something big: a yardage goal for 2026 that could make modern history, potentially the best age-33 season by a receiver ever. Yeah, you read that right. Our very own Cooper Kupp could be making history. On the defensive side, Coach Mike Macdonald met the media and made it clear the team feels comfortable with the potential reward in bringing in cornerback Terrion Arnold. Macdonald sees it as a “good opportunity” for the Seahawks, and frankly, we’re all here for the calculated risks. Mike Salk, after watching every game from our Super Bowl-winning season, is even more bullish on the Hawks this year, and who can blame him?
What’s Next for the 12s
Tonight’s game against the Cowboys is just the beginning. It’s our first real look at how these pieces fit, how our new faces perform, and how the entire squad responds to the pressure. Every single snap matters, especially for the guys battling for a spot. Get ready, Emerald City, because this season is just getting started, and the excitement is palpable. Let’s see who steps up! Go, ‘Hawks!
