The Seattle Seahawks looked in many ways how new head coach Mike Macdonald wanted in their season opening 26-20 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
For what a first-time head coach wants to get out of an opening game, Mike Macdonald couldn’t have asked for much more.The Seattle Seahawks looked in many ways how Macdonald wanted. They were aggressive and played with an edge on defense. Their skill position talent on offense flashed at times. The Seahawks faced adversity and overcame issues that at times were self-inflicted.Most importantly, Seattle won and allowed its first-time coach a moment to celebrate.
Seattle’s offensive line was already the biggest concern entering the season and the opener did nothing to change that opinion. Right tackle George Fant went down with a knee injury in the first quarter. Guards Anthony Bradford and Laken Tomlinson were overrun at times, and center Connor Williams appeared to be still working to get fully settled coming off an ACL injury suffered last December.The group played better in the second half and left tackle Charles Cross was solid all day.
