The Seattle Seahawks offense looked horrendous in the first half in Thursday night’s game, only gaining 64 yards. Tavaris Jackson was sacked twice in his two series at the helm, and even worse Russel Okung left the game with an Achilles injury. The Seahawks first team secondary got burnt and Trufant got beat by Vincent Jackson on a 40 yard pass. The Seahawks did end up winning but who cares about winning in the preseason, fans were curious what Tavaris would do and it turns out he spent most of the game running for his life. The rush defense looked good and the lost of Lofa Tatupu didn’t seem to effect Seattle at all. The line consistently got penetration getting tackles for loss. If this is what the Seahawks are going to be like this season hide your eyes because its going to be Mariner-esque ugly.
On the other side of the spectrum the Chargers and Phillip River’s didn’t look like they missed a beat and Vincent Jackson and Phillip Rivers seemed to have the same chemistry as if no offseason was missed. The Chargers defense and in particular the defensive line of the first team seemed to get penetration consistently and generate pressure on the quarterback with 3 man rushes. The Chargers first team looked good and are definitely favorites to win the AFC West by several games.
