Thursday evening the Seattle Seahawks hosted the Chicago Bears in the lone home preseason game for the Hawks this season, and it was a game that many would rather forget. Luckily, however, it’s preseason, and therefore meaningless in terms of the standing once the season starts.
With that in mind, fans were certainly excited about the potential for the Hawks to be a young up and coming team this season, and it’s certainly the case that they will be young, which will come with growing pains and rough patches. That said, the preseason and early part of the year will be much more important for getting those youngsters the experience and playing time they need in order to improve and compete at the NFL level, so seeing youngsters get significant snaps is, significant.
