Drew Lock has to earn his spot this season, straight up. Forget what you thought about the Seahawks’ backup quarterback situation, because it’s officially wide open as training camp kicks off. While Sam Darnold is prepping for his encore and how OC Brian Fleury’s transition affects him, all eyes are gonna be on the fight for QB2.
Lock vs. Milroe: A Battle For Legitimacy
Logic suggests our Seattle Seahawks want to see something special out of Jalen Milroe during this upcoming training camp and preseason. This isn’t some do-or-die moment for Milroe’s career, and Lock doesn’t have anything unusually prominent to prove, but don’t get it twisted: this is a real competition. Who do you want to come out on top? Milroe has a chance to show what he’s made of, and Lock, well, he’s got to show he deserves that spot. The game is afoot, fam, and you know we’ll be watching every single snap when the vets report later this week. Hard Knocks will be right there with us, filming every single minute, so you know the drama is gonna be cranked to 11.
PUP List Surprises: Emmanwori’s Setback Hits Hard
Just as we’re gearing up for camp, we got some news that nobody wanted to hear: standout second-year safety Nick Emmanwori is a little banged up, starting camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. My friends, let’s hold off on tripping too hard, but this is a concern. We want our playmakers healthy, especially someone like Emmanwori who showed so much promise. He’s not alone, either, with running back Kenny McIntosh and cornerback Tyrone Broden also placed on the PUP list on Monday. It’s never ideal to have guys starting camp on the sidelines, especially when you’re looking to build that early chemistry.
This training camp is gonna tell us a ton about the kind of team we’re rolling with this season. With the backup QB spot a straight-up fight and some key players starting on the PUP list, there’s no shortage of storylines. It’s time to find out what Sam Darnold can do for an encore, where he can still improve, and what the transition to Brian Fleury really means. We need to see these guys step up. The next few weeks are gonna be crucial for setting the tone for the entire season. Go, ‘Hawks!
