With six practices officially in the books, the Seattle Seahawks may have more questions than answers in their loaded secondary, starting with where to play top-five pick Devon Witherspoon with Mike Jackson, Tre Brown, and Coby Bryant all vying for snaps as well.

Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang investigate what Seattle should do moving forward at cornerback, including addressing whether or not Witherspoon playing inside should be viewed as a problem with Jackson and Brown impressing early in camp at the boundary positions.

Smith and Rang also dish out their latest "Last Five In, First Five Out" for 53-man roster projections and chat with fifth-round pick Mike Morris about his first training camp, transitioning to 3-tech defensive tackle, and his goals for 2023.
