@TomPage asks: “Kenny McIntosh is expected to make his Seahawks debut this week, what type of game does he have?”
A: Although Kenneth Walker III has not been ruled out for this week’s game, Carroll admitted he has a legitimate oblique strain, so it would appear that it would be difficult for Walker to return in a short week . And if Walker can’t play, then yes, it would be a chance for rookie Kenny McIntosh to make his debut after coming off injured reserve two weeks ago.
And if you’re asking what kind of game he has in terms of playing time and production, I can’t say, although his touches will likely depend somewhat on how the Seahawks perform overall on offense. If the Seahawks can convert on third down and maintain more drives throughout the game, that will mean more plays, which in turn means more opportunities for multiple backs, which Zach Charbonnet will likely pave the way for.
Now if the question is “what kind of game does he have?” meaning McIntosh’s style of play, and although we at least got a taste of it in training camp before he injured his knee in Seattle’s simulated game in August. And what we saw from McIntosh in camp was pretty impressive, from his shiftiness and ability to make people miss, to his pass-catching skills that could bring some added dynamic to the offense.
“Kenny Mac is ready to go,” Carroll said. “He just hasn’t had the chance yet. He’ll go straight to the front with this thing, him and Zach (Charbonnet) going toe-to-toe with DeeJay (Dallas) until we know (Walker) is back. So McIntosh is ready to go, he has to be ready to play. He’s got really good versatility in his ability to catch in the throwing game, he’s a scatback, he’s got good quicks, good changeup direction, good movement and all that. You didn’t. I had a really good chance to see it, but we’re really excited about Kenny getting some shots here. So if that happens , we will count on him to fulfill this role for us.
