NextImg:Announcer’s Drew Lock praise awfully timed with Seahawks QB’s interception

Talk about bad timing.

Seahawks analyst and former NFL fullback Michael Robinson praised quarterback Drew Lock during the team’s preseason opener against the Raiders on Friday night, only for the announcer jinx to strike a few beats later.

“When you’ve got a veteran quarterback who is your backup quarterback, he’s just not going to put the ball in harm’s way,” Robinson said. “He’s not going to make the critical mistakes that you see young quarterbacks make, especially in the preseason.”

Just two plays later, Lock threw an interception.

He was picked off by Raiders safety Isaiah Pola-Mao on a pass intended for Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton down the left sideline in the first quarter.

“What a play,” Robinson said. “After we just talked about Drew being smart with the football. Right there, just a little bit of an underthrow.”

Lock returned to the Seahawks this offseason on a two-year, $5 million deal after spending last year with the Giants.

He previously played in Seattle for two seasons in 2022 and 2023 after spending the first three years of his career with the Broncos.

He completed 12 of 22 of his passes for 147 yards, a touchdown and an interception during Thursday’s game.

Robinson had an eight-year NFL career, the first four with the 49ers and the last four with the Seahawks, with whom he won a Super Bowl.

Thursday’s game ended in a 23-23 tie.

The Seahawks sat most of their starters, including quarterback Sam Darnold, who agreed to a three-year, $100.5 million deal in free agency after a renaissance run with the Vikings in 2024.

Seattle opens the regular season against San Francisco on Sept. 7.
