Building off strong starts to training camp, the Seattle Seahawks received outstanding contributions from undrafted rookies Jake Bobo, Matt Landers, and Levi Bell among others as they erased an early 10-point deficit to defeat the Minnesota Vikings 24-13 in their preseason opener on Thursday night.

Hosts Corbin Smith and Dallas Cooper examine the impact made by Seattle's rookies in their first game action, including flashy starts by Derick Hall and Mike Morris as well as shining moments for Bobo, Landers, and Hall in victory at Lumen Field.

Smith and Cooper also dish out their first game balls of the 2023 season on offense, defense, and special teams and play "3 Up, 3 Down" discussing which players improved their stock and which players didn't fully take advantage of their first preseason audition.
