We just got some breaking news here.
Sam Darnold's going to miss the Vegas game this weekend.
And Drew Locke's going to be the quarterback.
I'm assuming he got banged up this past weekend as well.
So, I mean, Seattle, trouble's at the quarterback position.
Yeah, it's certainly not ideal to have,
you know, your starting quarterback out and then
your backup potentially banged up.
I believe Locke's dealing with an oblique injury. So
his status is going to bear monitoring.
The other guy they have in the room is Jalen Milrow,
the former Alabama quarterback, who I liked him.
I liked him as a prospect. I think he has great
mobility. He had sort of like good accuracy,
maybe not the greatest arm, not just because
his name is Jalen, but he reminded me a little bit
of Jalen Hurts in terms of like the build
and the type of game that he could play.
I think if he ends up having to play,
the Seahawks will try to create a ground-heavy plan
where he can use his legs and have
to throw a little bit to get the job done.
But obviously, the Seahawks will be hoping that Drew Locke can play,
and they just need to get healthy at the quarterback position
because they're kind of teetering on the brink of the NFC right now.
With how good the NFC North is,
it is going to be very hard for these teams
to get wildcard spots if they don't win their division.
So Seattle, they really, really, really need a win right now.
