you\u2019ve read our on-site accounts and seen our videos<\/a>, and some of you have even made it out to either Renton or Lumen Field to see the Seahawks in action over the past few weeks. For today\u2019s discussion, we want to know what your top takeaways are from training camp and the first preseason game. This was our lead topic on the latest HawksZone Rundown podcast with myself, Bryce Coutts, and Ryan MacMillan.<\/p>\nWhile it\u2019s low-hanging fruit to focus on the offensive line, more specifically Christian Haynes seemingly unable to win a starting job on the offensive line\/usurp Anthony Bradford as the starting right guard, my takeaways were more based on the offense as a whole. The heavy usage of under center formations by Klint Kubiak is almost the polar opposite of Ryan Grubb\u2019s offense, such that there is zero chance the Seahawks of 2025 have a scheme that comes close to resembling last year\u2019s. Robbie Ouzts\u2019 impressive start to camp and preseason has me buzzing about having a fullback involved in the offense again.<\/p>\n
I am not guaranteeing the Seahawks offense will be better this year, but it\u2019s going to be different and it should look better. More play-action, more rollouts, more easy buttons to press for the quarterback, more zone blocking in the run game, and obviously Jalen Milroe will be incorporated into the offense to some degree. Damn near every NFL team looks amazing playing against itself and against backups in training camp, preseason, and scrimmages, but from what I saw at practice and against the Raiders, the Seahawks have quickly established their identity on the offensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n
Another takeaway is the rise of Tory Horton, whom I believe will be the team\u2019s second-leading wide receiver within the next two seasons. There\u2019s still a lot more to figure out throughout preseason and how he does in the regular season, but I feel better about the WR situation knowing he\u2019s performed well up to this point. His preseason debut was all the more reason to be excited that the Seahawks found themselves their own fifth-round gem, much in the way the Los Angeles Rams did with Puka Nacua.<\/p>\n
Lastly, Brandon Pili and Quinton Bohanna have me wondering if Johnathan Hankins even makes the roster as a nose tackle. Pili and Bohanna have been consistently showing promise throughout camp and it continued into the Raiders game.<\/p>\n
