Dallas Cowboys Might Be VMAC-Bound, and the 12s Need to See This

Alright, Emerald City! You gotta stop scrolling for this, because some wild news just dropped that could seriously change your summer plans. We're hearing whispers, loud whispers, that our beloved Seattle Seahawks might be hosting none other than the Dallas Cowboys at VMAC for a joint practice before their preseason clash at Lumen Field on August 15. Can you even imagine that? Our boys, throwing down against *them* in Renton!

Macdonald's Vision Bringing the Intensity Home

Look, Coach Mike Macdonald has been all about bringing back that joint practice intensity. We hadn't seen them since the early 90s, but he's changed that. In 2024, our Hawks got after it twice with the Tennessee Titans before hitting Nashville for their preseason game. Then last year, it was a single joint session with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Remember that? Seattle Sports 710 host Brock Huard is the one hearing through the grapevine that there's a serious push to get the Cowboys here. He's talking about how intense these practices are, how it's "ones on ones," and honestly, it's better than the actual preseason game. Huard even said, "That red zone and that high red zone last year in Green Bay, that was the first coming-out party of … JSN and Sam Darnold. That was kind of the first little appetizer and vision of what could be and what was to come." Think about it, a preview of what Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are cooking up, right here at home.

VMAC Homecoming? It's Been a Minute!

This is a HUGE deal for the 12s, seriously. When was the last time we hosted a scrimmage in our own state? You gotta go all the way back to 1988 at the Tacoma Dome! The Hawks technically hosted one in 1991 against the Falcons, but that was in Portland. That’s how rare this is. The Cowboys are no strangers to joint practices either, having gone against the Los Angeles Rams in Oxnard, California, for the past two seasons. So, it's definitely possible they agree to this. The biggest question for all of us, for every single 12 out there, is whether this potential VMAC practice would be open to the public. Because if it is, forget the preseason game, this is the ticket you want. Imagine seeing that high-level competition, Sam Darnold slinging it to JSN, Rashid Shaheed, or Cooper Kupp, up close and personal. It would be an absolute spectacle. This isn't just a practice, it's a chance to see the true grit of Mike Macdonald's team and get an unfiltered look at our guys before the regular season kicks off. Get ready for some high-stakes action, because if this goes down, our August 15 preseason game against the Cowboys might just have a whole new layer of intensity after they've already gotten a taste of the Emerald City's football spirit. We'll be watching for any update on this one, trust us!
