Seahawks Vs. Titans: Matt Flynn Starting, Russell Wilson Playing 2nd Half

For those pondering on an order of operations for the Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks for the first preseason contest against the Tennessee Titans, Pete Carroll has revealed his hand.

It starts with Matt Flynn, who is no surprise to start, particularly after that massive contract he signed with Seattle this offseason. But the big surprise is who might be his backup: The rookie from Wisconsin, Russell Wilson.

Pete Carroll says Matt Flynn will start an play 1st half on Saturday and Russell Wilson will play 2nd half #Seahawks

Carroll said QB Russell Wilson is expected to play the second half. Said they know what QB Tarvaris Jackson brings. Need to see other two.

There's no doubt Wilson had a good camp this offseason in the lead-up to the regular season. But the possibility that Wilson might very well have passed up Jackson on the depth chart this early cannot be a good sign for Tarvaris's hopes of cracking the Seahawks rotation down the line. Jackson had a decent season as the starter last year, so the possibility of a demotion to second or (worse) third-string duties would be hard to swallow.

For those who are wondering, Terrell Owens will not be playing.
