Seeing rookies struggle with injuries in the preseason is a perpetually disappointing and frustrating reality — for fans, coaches, and players alike. For this reason, seeing rookie Dee Eskridge make his debut for the Seahawks was a welcome sight after missing the first two preseason contests with a foot injury. And what a debut it was.
Following the game, Carroll had a plethora of positive comments for the rookie, shedding some light on what they expected from him coming out of college.
"He looks like the guy we had hoped that we'd get when we picked him and we're thrilled about it," Pete Carroll said.
