If episode one of 'Hard Knocks' taught us anything, it's that you should expect the unexpected with the Seattle Seahawks. From fullback Brady Russell getting peed on by who some would call the future team mascot in **** ercup the Goat to head coach Mike Macdonald using Phil Jackson's legendary Chicago Bulls teams as a metaphor to emphasize how to build a continuous winning culture, it's safe to say fans weren't left empty handed.
If you didn't get the chance to tune in for episode two, I'd suggest you go watch it (and come back to this article later of course). For those who did, let's dive into what we learned and have a look at who's emerging as early candidates to be this year's series stars.
The episode opens with head coach Mike Macdonald scolding linebacker Derick Hall for bull rushing quarterback Sam Darnold. The first time he did it, Macdonald tried nicely, but after the second close call, he'd had enough. We'll revisit this later.
Comparisons keep coming, and the Seahawk machine is a good one. Otherwise known as a GPS guided robot used to repair the field, it's much like the defending Super Bowl Champions — clean, precise and purposeful.
Macdonald is working to prepare the defense for their first preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on August 15, reiterating to the young guys there's a lot coming ahead.
