Post-game live stream: Key takeaways and thoughts from Seahawks 33, Chiefs 16
The Seattle Seahawks ran roughshod over the Kansas City Chiefs, racking up 268 yards on the ground and 477 overall in a convincing (well, as convincing as preseason can be) 33-16 win on Friday night at Lumen Field. A lively crowd braved the rainy, breezy conditions and were undoubtedly encouraged by what they saw on the offensive side of the ball. The defense shut the Chiefs offense down after the early portion of the second quarter, but that was a decidedly distant part of the main story. We're plenty hyped about the Seahawks defense and what they could do in 2025, but the offense has shown a lot of promise through two exhibition games. Myself and HawksZone Rundown podcast host Bryce Coutts are coming to you live from, uh, our respective homes to give you our day-after thoughts and observations on the game, the roster, and much more. This is going to be a regular feature (whether with me, Bryce and Ryan MacMillan, etc.) for Seahawks games on Field Gulls this season, and there will be another special collaboration with myself, Bryce, Brandon Cain of The Hawk's Nest, and Dan Viens from Seahawks Forever very soon. We'll have a separate article on that next week! You can catch this episode of HawksZone Rundown at 6 pm PT and join the live chat or just watch the replay on-demand! Live Stream/Video

The Open Field: What are your early Seahawks preseason takeaways?
The Seattle Seahawks are done with public training camp practices as of Tuesday. I suspect many fans are more focused on the remaining two preseason games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers. You've read the stories, you've read our on-site accounts and seen our videos, 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's 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. While it's 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's offense, such that there is zero chance the Seahawks of 2025 have a scheme that comes close to resembling last year's. Robbie Ouzts' impressive start to camp and preseason has me buzzing about having a fullback involved in the offense again. I am not guaranteeing the Seahawks offense will be better this year, but it's 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. Another takeaway is the rise of Tory Horton, whom I believe will be the team's second-leading wide receiver within the next two seasons. There's 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's 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. 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. What are your camp takeaways?
