From running back to cornerback to kick returner, the Seahawks will have whittle their roster down to 53 players with no shortage of difficult cuts looming.
SEATTLE, Wash. - Wrapping up their preseason in victorious fashion thanks to an explosion of big plays on offense and special teams, the Seattle SeahawksNow, with the regular season opener against the Broncos just two weeks away, the real work begins for coach Mike Macdonald, general manager John Schneider, and the rest of the coaching staff and front office as they are tasked with shrinking the Seahawks roster down from 90 to 53 players before Tuesday's deadline.
As Macdonald acknowledged, roster cut down day isn't an easy time for any NFL coach. He and his staff have built strong relationships with many of the players who will receive a pink slip since the offseason program first kicked off in April and it's never easy to give that news to young men who have invested everything into trying to make Seattle's roster.
"I thought both played really well," Macdonald said of the two backs. "George didn't have the flashy run, but he had some tough, good runs to get back to the line of scrimmage, get positive yards. I think both made plays on special teams. Just two really good players. Kenny Mac, another example of a guy that's been working really, really hard. For him to have an opportunity to make such a great play, just really happy for him. Really happy for where he's at.
"He's a guy that really stood out during the rookie tryout," Macdonald said. "Just kind of the message with all the guys; if there's not a spot for you right now, we're still invested in your growth and development. To his credit, he didn't skip a beat since he's been here. He should be proud of the way he played."
