Matt Flynn’s reaction to learning that he won’t start the Seahawks’ third preseason game was one you might expect.

“He took it like a real competitor. He didn’t want that news,” coach Pete Carroll said. “He wanted to keep starting, and I don’t blame him. I thought he was exactly on point with the way he responded.”

Safe to say Flynn was at least a bit ticked off.

As Brock Huard explains in the video below, Flynn can’t let that frustration affect his performance on Friday.
