Expect defensive starters to play, but not so much on offense.
The Seattle Seahawks make their preseason debut under new coach Mike Macdonald on Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers. One of the questions concerning this year’s preseason was whether or not we would see more playing time for the starters/projected first-team players than is typical for today’s NFL.
“I think defensively you’ll probably see a good amount of starters out there to start the game. We’ll see how long that lasts. Offensively, as of right now, I don’t believe Geno is going to go. A couple other starters aren’t going to go as well. It’s all good, by then we’ll sharpen it out, guys will have a great showing and we’ll see where we’re at and move forward.” As far as Byron Murphy II, the Seahawks’ first-round draft pick and only selection in the top 64? Yeah, he’s playing.
