6 key takeaways from the Seattle Seahawks’ snap counts vs. Cowboys
Field Gulls • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks lost their preseason opener 17-7 to the Dallas Cowboys, marked by penalties, blown assignments, and disjointed play, mostly involving backups and roster hopefuls rather than starters.
- Montorie Foster led the team in offensive snaps and receptions, scoring Seattle’s only touchdown, but his lack of special teams play raises concerns about his roster chances.
- Tory Horton, considered an established starter, did not play in the preseason game, likely due to injury recovery or strategic rest, while Elijah Arroyo saw significant offensive snaps.
- On defense, rookies A.J. Finley and Bud Clark took most safety snaps, with Finley playing well, while cornerbacks Andre Fuller and Michael Dansby saw limited action, putting their roster spots in jeopardy.
- The Seahawks used a mix of edge rushers in the first half, with notable players like Connor O’Toole and Jared Ivey getting reps, and now prepare for a joint practice and second preseason game against the Tennessee Titans.
