Seahawks-Raiders final score: Seahawks end 2018 preseason with 30-19 loss

to Oakland For the first time in franchise history Womens Barkevious Mingo Jersey , the Seattle Seahawks will enter the regular season having failed to win any preseason games. Seattle fell to the Oakland Raiders, as the pass defense was torn to shreds by the mighty duo of E.J. Manuel and Connor Cook. The Seahawks offense was commandeered by Austin Davis and Alex McGough, and as you might expect, there were many punting opportunities for Michael Dickson. Next up are roster cuts from 90 to 53 players, set to be completed by Saturday, September 1st at 4 PM ET/1 PM PT.Russell Wilson had the night off, as expected. Austin Davis had a touchdown to Jaron Brown called back due to an Isaiah Battle hold, then another Battle hold wrecked hopes for points on Seattle’s opening drive. The Raiders struck first on a fluky touchdown, as E.J. Manuel found Keon Hatcher over the middle, Justin Coleman had him tackled, but Hatcher apparently was never down by contact and raced to the end zone. It looked like his left shin was down upon replay, but the ruling on the field stood, and also let’s remember this is preseason and this means nothing.Following a Raiders field goal, Davis hooked up with Damore’ea Stringfellow for an 81-yard touchdown, but Sebastian Janikowski missed the extra point, so the score remained 10-6 Oakland.After an exchange of punts, Manuel and Hatcher eventually connected again on another touchdown, this one a good strike over the middle in between Justin Coleman and Lorenzo Jerome, as the Raiders increased their lead to 17-6. Austin Davis engineered one last scoring drive before departing, as David Moore drew an end-zone pass interference call on Shareece Wright, and Mike Davis had a walk-in from a yard out to close the gap to 17-13 at halftime.Alex McGough took over for the rest of the night, and he nearly had a superb touchdown pass on the run to Malik Turner, but the play was overturned due to Turner failing to get his 2nd foot in bounds. Manuel kept carving up Seattle’s secondary, as Delano Hill’s missed tackle sprung Saeed Blacknall for a 45-yard touchdown. Ugly, to say the least. Mike Nugent missed the PAT Womens Nick Vannett Jersey , so the score was 23-13 midway through the 3rd quarter.Oakland effectively put the game away in the final quarter, as Keon Hatcher completed his hat trick by burning Mike Tyson for another score. McGough for a consolation touchdown, using his arms and legs on a hurry-up drive, capped off by a Kyle Carter catch and dive for the end-zone. Janikowski missed another PAT, which brought back bad Blair Walsh memories. The Seahawks didn’t touch the ball again on offense until 14 seconds, handed the ball off to Justin Stockton to run the clock out, thus ending the 2018 preseason.Injury reportT Isaiah Battle limped off with an unspecified injury early in the 3rd quarter, and did not return.Next week’s opponentSunday, September 9th: Week 1 at the Denver Broncos at 1:25 PM PT on FOX. The games count for real now.Seahawks-Chargers: How the Seahawks rookie class performed in their second preseason game The Seattle Seahawks’ 2018 draft class played in their second preseason game on Saturday night against the L.A. Chargers, with two glaring omissions as Rashaad Penny and Jamarco Jones missed the game with injuries. The starters received an extended run as the Seahawks work their way to the regular season dress rehearsal next week, but all seven healthy rookies saw the field. Rasheem GreenGreen, the star of Seattle’s preseason opener last Thursday, had another strong game. His 1.5 sacks matched his output in Week 1, bringing him to three sacks through two preseason games. Additionally, Green paced the Seahawks in tackles with six. Similar to last week, the most encouraging part of Green’s performance was the way he got off blocks. Green’s hand usage was excellent and the consistency in the technical side of his game through two weeks wasn’t something you saw from him in college. Green had multiple strong reps against the run at the point of attack, as well as a pressures from bending around the corner and on a stunt up the middle. Through two preseason games, Green has shown every trait desired from an outside-in rusher in Pete Carroll’s defense. Will DisslyDissly’s performance in L.A. was largely nondescript, with the exception of one negative play. On Chris Carson’s stampeding, arm-tackle-breaking 23-yard touchdown run, Dissly was flagged for a block in the back, negating Carson’s fine work. That flag would be the lone time Dissly’s name was called, as the tight end saw no targets against the Chargers. Tyrone Swoopes received the majority of tight end snaps in the second half.Shaquem GriffinFor the second week in a row, Shaquem Griffin moved sideline-to-sideline on defense and flew down the field on special teams like it was a playoff game. Griffin was better in coverage compared to the loss against the Colts and continued to flow to the football extremely well. Griffin’s most noteworthy moment came on special teams — likely a common theme in 2018 — as he hustled down field on a Michael Dickson punt to lay a big hit and not allow a return.Tre FlowersByron Maxwell sat out for a second game in a row, so Tre Flowers once again started at right cornerback. Flowers was targeted on an easy completion for Philip Rivers to Keenan Allen. In fairness to the rookie Youth Kam Chancellor Jersey , it was an extremely tough assignment, in the slot against one of the NFL’s best route runners, and the receiver with perhaps the best release in the league. The next time Flowers’ name was called, it was for much more positive reasons. Facing a third down, Flowers came off the edge on a blitz, timing it superbly. Green looped inside as Flowers got home to the quarterback, who had nowhere to go. Michael DicksonIn the punter competition that-isn’t-over-but-is-definitely-over, Dickson again looked more impressive than Jon Ryan. Ryan’s net yardage total was hurt by the long touchdown return, however Dickson still had the best punt of the night: A booming 57-yarder placed perfectly to the sideline at the Chargers’ 10-yard line, not allowing for a return. Jacob MartinAfter a terrific start to the preseason last week against Indianapolis, Martin’s performance in Week 2 wasn’t as flashy. The rookie still came off the ball well and produced one great pressure to end the third quarter, but that was about it on defense. Although official snap counts aren’t available at the time of publishing, it appeared as though a large portion of Martin’s snaps from last week went to UDFA Jake Pugh on Saturday. Pugh, along with recent addition Erik Walden, is Martin’s main competition for the backup SAM linebacker spot. Martin again saw snaps on punt coverage, and was one of the first players down field on the punt return touchdown. Alex McGoughLimited to just three drives on Saturday, McGough made the most of his opportunities and looked improved from Week 1. The biggest knock against McGough versus Indianapolis was how hesitant he was to take the check-down, but in L.A. he was consistently getting the ball out. Six of McGough’s nine completions went to running back C.J. Prosise. McGough’s best moments came on his touchdown-leading drive. The touchdown itself, a fade to Malik Turner, was thrown with outstanding touch and timing. The subsequent two point conversion had perfect placement to Cyril Grayson’s back shoulder. Saturday’s performance was exactly the type of game McGough needed to remain in the backup quarterback competition, and perhaps dissuade Seattle from looking elsewhere. Overall, the Seahawks must be very pleased with their rookie class through two preseason games, and encouraged for their potential contributions in 2018.
