A look inside the Seahawks leadership council reflecting on their preseason opener 🗣️ The new episode of Hard Knocks: T Via @NFL on X

What happened: The discussion is featured in the latest episode of Hard Knocks: Training Camp, now available on HBO Max. Seattle's player leaders assessed the team's first preseason game.

Why it matters: Preseason results do not affect the standings, but the opener tested Seattle's operation and depth. The remaining exhibition schedule offers limited time to make adjustments before the 2026 regular season.

By the numbers: Seattle scored all seven of its points on the opening drive and was held scoreless thereafter.

What to watch: Seattle's remaining preseason work will show whether its execution improves before the regular-season opener.
