S2E29 Are the Mariners and Sounders Back?

They had their second preseason game, joint practice with the Titans.

Looked like everything went well except for a big hiccup in the fact that Jake Bobo tears his ACL injury.

Super gutting for him, and we sort of saw them chronicle it in Hard Knocks last night.

Just really devastating for a guy who obviously means a lot in that locker room.

And then you go into the preseason game, Bud Clark breaks his ankle.

Hard Knocks documents that as well.

Just a gutting couple of blows.

And to me, my main takeaway is... concern because I mean obviously apart from the fact where you you lose two contributors to your roster uh you you look at last year and how fortunate the Seahawks were throughout the entire season with injuries uh I mean look at the divisional round game with 49ers versus the Seahawks and the difference in those injury reports yes you dealt with injuries but it's football you always do by all accounts the Seahawks were very fortunate with their injury luck last year those things tend to even themselves out.

Look at the Mariners and their starting rotation and all of their pitching injuries.

So the fact that we're starting off this year with a couple of injuries, and this might be a little bit presumptuous of me and sort of some of my anxiety coming out a little bit, But I'm like, like, you know, we've talked about the depth on this team is less because of the guys that you lost.

You didn't lose some like key contributors other than Kenneth Walker.

I mean, like Boye Mafi, that's a depth piece.

You know, Creek Wallen is sort of a depth piece a little bit like you lost a lot of those guys.

Not as much depth on this team.

And if you're going to deal with a slew of injuries as they already have, I mean, you know, it would be tough.

You can't really control it, right?

I mean, you never can control it.

I talked about it last week.

This is the hurt business, right? People are going to get injured.

People are going to get hurt.

It's just unfortunate.

I think Mason Richmond, I believe his name was, he also had a lower leg injury recently.

So you did lose some quality depth there with Bobo and Bud Clark, but it's not your frontline starters.

Now, in comparison, San Francisco, they lost Bosa, Nick Bosa, defensive player of the year.

They lost Fred Warner, all pro linebackers.
