Snap Reactions: Seahawks escape with OT win by relying on stars

The Seattle Seahawks escaped Foxboro with a Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots, but that isn’t stopping some fans from complaining about how the team made use of its personnel.

On the offensive side of things, there was no shortage of optimism and hope for second year running back Kenny McIntosh to show what he could do. However, much to the chagrin of his supporters, McIntosh saw the field for just a pair of offensive snaps and a half dozen special teams snaps.

The other big complaint for many is that it was once against Laken Tomlinson and Anthony Bradford getting the majority of snaps at guard, with third round pick Christian Haynes rotating in for just 15 snaps on offense.

Who was on the field when the Patriots had the ball comes as no surprise, though it is certainly somewhat frustrating to see second year defensive end Mike Morris earn just a pair of snaps in a game in which the defensive struggled at times to stop the New England ground game. With that in mind, Morris is just 23 years old, so there is still ample time for him to progress and develop.

However, he remains a special teams monster, once again pacing the team with 26 special teams snaps. Right behind him in special teams snaps were Jake Bobo, Laviska Shenault, K’Von Wallace, Dareke Young and Coby Bryant.

And now it’s on to Week 3 and the Miami Dolphins.
