Seahawks Preseason Begins with Quarterback Strategy Discussion

The Seattle Seahawks are set to begin their preseason on Saturday night with a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. A significant focus for the team will be how they allocate quarterback reps during the games.

Coach Mike Macdonald discussed the playing time for backup quarterbacks Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe, indicating that they are currently evaluating their approach. He emphasized the need for game experience for all quarterbacks, including Sam Darnold, and mentioned that the team is still determining the best strategy ahead of the game.

The transition from a 16-game to a 17-game regular season, coupled with a reduction in preseason games from four to three, has led to more complex decisions regarding player preparation. The primary objective remains to ensure that the starting quarterbacks are ready for the season opener while managing the risks associated with injuries during the preseason.
