This week in Seahawks talk

The shows are focused on Seattle's title defense opener against New England, with talk centered on the Seahawks' secondary being banged up heading into the game. There's been debate about whether the Patriots' offensive line can hold up against Seattle's defense, and discussion of Sam Darnold continuing to face skepticism despite back-to-back successful seasons. The NFC West race is getting attention too, with disagreement over whether the Rams or Seahawks will win the division.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

In this week's clips: Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, Kenneth Walker III, Devon Witherspoon, Riq Woolen, Uchenna Nwosu.
