3. Seattle’s leading trio of running backs are all having a good start to camp.

One of the big questions heading into camp is how the running back depth chart would shake out, and while that is far from settled, what is evident early in camp is that the Seahawks have a strong trio in George Holani, Emanuel Wilson and rookie Jadarian Price. All three have made plenty of plays in camp, including on Saturday, both in the running game and as pass-catchers. The way the trio is rotating with the offense, it seems pretty clear, at least at this point of camp, that there could be a role for all three in the offense, regardless of how the depth chart looks.

4. Your friendly reminder that Drew Lock can absolutely spin it.

Seattle’s starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, is off to a great start in camp, and had several nice throws, including a long touchdown pass to Arroyo, a touchdown to Rashid Shaheed and a perfectly placed thrown down the right side that Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in with a spectacular toe-tapping catch.

But as impressive as Darnold has been since joining the team last year, it’s worth the occasional reminder that the Seahawks have a very, very talented backup in Drew Lock. Lock is heading into his fourth season with the Seahawks since arriving in the 2022 trade that sent Russell Wilson to Denver—Lock spent the 2024 season with the Giants before returning to Seattle—and on Saturday, the arm talent that made him a second-round pick in 2019 was on full display, showing just how strong Seattle’s quarterback depth is, with third stringer Jalen Milroe also having another strong practice.

Lock’s big day got started with a touchdown drive that he capped by hitting Horton with a back-shoulder throw for a touchdown. Not long after that drive, Lock again hit Horton with a dart over the middle that the speedy second-year receiver turned into a touchdown. Lock’s strong showing also included a touchdown pass to receiver Irv Charles, and another well-placed throw over the middle to Emanuel Wilson for a big gain.

5. Saturday’s practice didn’t include an expected flyover from the Blue Angels, but the Seahawks did get to meet with the pilots this weekend.

In any other year, a training camp practice on the first weekend of August would include several flybys from the Blue Angels, who perform in Seattle each year as part of Seafair Weekend. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case on Saturday, as the show was cancelled due to winds.

“You definitely notice them,” guard Grey Zabel said of the earlier visits on Thursday and Friday, adding that the cancelled show Saturday was, “a win-lose situation. It sucks they couldn’t fly over today, but at the same time, it’s pretty nice having a breeze out at practice for two-and-a-half hours.”

Even so, players got to see the planes in the air on Thursday and Friday, and they also got a visit from the Blue Angel pilots, who stopped by the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Friday.

“They’re remarkable,” Zabel said. “The attention to detail. I didn’t really know that much about them, then they played a video and stuff, and it’s so cool to see what they do, how they perform, how they travel, the new obstacles and challenges they have for every show. I watched some YouTube videos on them last night, it’s pretty sweet. They’re definitely pretty high in my book, for sure.”

Asked if he would ever go up in a Blue Angel jet, Zabel said, “Yeah, I just don’t think I’d fit in a fighter jet. I think I’d be too tall, too wide. It’d be super cool, Top Gun is like my favorite movie of all time. So absolutely, if they had a cockpit big enough.”

Veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed added, when asked about what they learned from the visit, “Just about how they attack the day, how they go and debrief, how they are very critical of themselves, and how they depend on each other. It’s the same kind of rules and morals that we have out here on our team.”
