SEATTLE -- The Seahawks offensive line shuffle continued in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Seattle's third preseason game.

The starting line on Thursday was the same as it had been for the first two preseason games, with Bradley Sowell at left tackle, Mark Glowinski at left guard, Justin Britt at center, Germain Ifedi at right guard and Garry Gilliam at right tackle.

The Seahawks went just 22 yards in five plays on the first possession before being forced to punt, then went 68-yards in 10 plays, with a Steven Hauschka 27-yard field goal capping off Seattle's second drive.

On the third drive, J'Marcus Webb made his preseason debut, replacing Gilliam at right tackle.

The Seahawks linemen knew going into the game there would be rotation with the first-team tackles.

"(Webb) hasn't played the first two games," Sowell said. "They really need to evaluate him in game three. They told us how the reps were going to be split."

Seattle went three-and-out in Webb's first drive at right tackle before going 58 yards in just five plays on their first touchdown drive, which ended with quarterback Russell Wilson hitting wide receiver Paul Richardson with a perfect touch pass in the end zone for a 9-yard score.

Veteran right guard Jahri Evans replaced Ifedi just ahead of the touchdown at the end of the drive due to an equipment, but Ifedi reentered the game after halftime.

After the half, there was yet another change when Webb moved to left tackle, with Gilliam at right. In the following two drives, the Seahawks averaged 9.3 yards per play and scored 10 points. They did much of their damage on the ground, where Seattle averaged 8.8 yards per carry on six rushing attempts.

Sowell said he was pleased with the line's performance.

"For a group of five guys who have just been together for a small amount of time, I'm excited to see where we can go," he said. "We've got a lot of young, hungry guys on this line."

The third combination of Seahawks line "starters" exited the game after the first two drives of the half, with the second-team line consisting of George Fant at left tackle, Reese Odhiambo at left guard, Joey Hunt at center, Evans at right guard and Terry Poole at right tackle.

After the game, Webb said it felt great to be back on the field. After signing a two-year, $6 million deal in free agency, then seeing his training camp and preseason largely derailed by injury, Webb was happy to help where he could.

"Things happen but you have to adjust, and I think I did just that," he said. "Coming in and filling in wherever I need to be was exciting, and I couldn't feel any better about it."
