My first “12 Thoughts” article was published a week before training camp opened and, at the time, I thought that a week before the first game of the season might be a good target for the second one.
But then 3 things happened that I didn’t see coming:
One. The league’s first-ever 3-game preseason resulted in the Seahawks resting almost all of their starters and not even really trying to be competitive in 2 of the 3 games.
Two. The initial 53-man roster was really bizarre; it had more RBs than WRs (5 to 4), included 3 QBs, and had 11 offensive linemen.
