The Seahawks have had a revolving door of backup quarterbacks behind Russell Wilson for the last several seasons. Once Tarvaris Jackson’s three-year run as Wilson’s backup came to an end following the 2015 season Byron Maxwell Color Rush Jersey , the Seahawks have had a different backup every year since. That run will continue this fall as either Geno Smith or Paxton Lynch, presumably, will take over the job.Smith and Lynch are expected to complete for the job throughout the preseason with the Seahawks doing their best to give the pair equal opportunities to show what they can do.“I like the competition,” head coach Pete Carroll said on the final day of mini-camp last week. “Today we just let those two guys go at it and kept Russ out for the most part. As of yesterday, I think they both had exactly the same number of pass attempts.“it’s just going to be a wide open competition and what we need to do is a really good job of giving them an equitable shot at it with reps, the people they work with and all that kind of stuff and that will be a big plan. It reminds me of when Russ was coming up in his first year. We had the whole thing mapped out. I don’t think that they’re going to catch Russ Sebastian Janikowski Color Rush Jersey , but you know, you never know. That’s what competition is all about. Their reps in particular are really going to be monitored strictly to see that we can get a great gauge. Let the games begin.”Trevone Boykin, Austin Davis and Brett Hundley have each spent a season as Wilson’s break-in-case-of-emergency option off the bench. Wilson’s only really come close to needing an injury replacement in 2016 when a high-ankle sprain and MCL sprain threatened to take him out of the lineup.Lynch is getting a second chance in Seattle after the former first round pick of the Denver Broncos flamed out after just two years with the team. Smith is on his third new team in as many years after stops with the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers.“Paxton’s got a big time, live arm. He really does,” offensive coordinator Brian Schottenehimer said. “For a big guy, he’s really quick and athletic Dontae Johnson Color Rush Jersey , picked up the system well. Geno hasn’t been here nearly as long. He’s got a lot of moxie about him, great huddle command which is cool to see.”Special teams coordinator Brian Schneider had described earlier in the offseason how the team charted every kick made by Sebastian Janikowski and Jason Myers throughout the offseason last year before settling on Janikowski as their choice for last year. The quarterback battle between Smith and Lynch is likely on a similar path with preseason games being a vital bench mark for both players.“We’re getting a good gauge on them but we’re going to have to get to these games,” Carroll said. “The games are going to be really important. The first half of preseason for those guys is crucial for their competitive opportunity. And game three, we’ll wind down Russ and get some more work in that game. So game one and two are really big for those guys and game four will be a big deal for them too. We just let it go.“We’re really happy with the way they’ve progressed. They’re applying the meeting room stuff well on the field. They’re handling it. You can tell Geno has played a little more. He’s been around more. Both guys have the big arm and they can make all the throws that we’re asking in the offense and they both move well too. So it’s just going to be a wide open competition and what we need to do is a really good job of giving them an equitable shot at it with reps, the people they work with and all that kind of stuff and that will be a big plan.” The Seattle Seahawks are back in the lead of the “hunt.”Following their 43-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, the Seahawks improved to 7-5 with their third straight win. Combined with a loss by the Minnesota Vikings D.J. Fluker Color Rush Jersey , who fall to 6-5-1 after a loss to the New England Patriots, that puts Seattle in the six-seed as of Sunday evening.The next game to watch: Washington at the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Should the Eagles win at home, the Seahawks should move into the five seed, the wild card team that will likely go on the road to face the winner of the NFC East. As of now, that looks like it will be the Dallas Cowboys, a team that Seattle beat earlier this season.The NFC West is now decided as the LA Rams clinched the division following their win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Carolina Panthers Barkevious Mingo Color Rush Jersey , the team that the Seahawks needed to beat last week to get into this favorable position, lost for the fourth straight time. The Panthers went from a two-game lead over Seattle when they were 6-2 to being two games behind the Seahawks in a matter of only four weeks.If Philly does win on Monday night it will knock down Washington, but also keep the Eagles just a game behind Seattle. Other than that, there’s not much standing between the Seahawks and their sixth playoff berth in the last seven years. Per 538, they are now 86% to make the postseason.The Seahawks host the Vikings next Monday night.
