The Seattle Seahawks completed up their sixth coaching camp follow on a good looking Friday afternoon at staff headquarters in Renton. For the 12s, this was their first alternative to observe the Seahawks follow in pads, and as is customary when the pads are placed on and the physicality and depth ramps up, issues acquired a little bit heated throughout follow. Nothing to fret about when it’s one thing that occurs throughout NFL coaching camps on a regular basis on an annual foundation.
Let’s get to the Day 6 recap!
Seahawks coaching camp information and notes
It acquired testy, and Leonard Williams was concerned within the chippiness
You’re not going to get any video from beat reporters or followers as a consequence of staff guidelines, so should you’re completely hankering to see a coaching camp skirmish then you definitely would possibly simply have to attend for Onerous Knocks. Both means, Leonard Williams took down A.J. Barner on a catch down the sector and Barner took exception, whereas there was a little bit incident between Connor O’Toole and Bryce Cabeldue.
It’s soccer, it’s bodily, it’s emotional, and I might not maintain a powerful response to this in any respect.
An necessary Jalen Milroe growth
Good friend of Discipline Gulls and Seahawksdraftblog.com visitor contributor Curtis Allen was at coaching camp once more on Friday. Second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe throwing to Elijah Arroyo instantly caught my consideration, if solely as a result of that assertion actually wasn’t a factor final yr. Milroe was nearly completely restricted to third-team offensive duties, however based mostly on Curtis’ observations, Milroe has blended in some work greater up the depth chart.
If there’s to be any semblance of a promising leap for Milroe’s growth, it begins with really getting worthwhile reps with 1s and 2s in coaching camp, not preseason. As soon as he will get these in camp, so long as it’s not a catastrophe, we could but see a unique preseason out of Milroe in a few weeks.
Tory Horton confirms final yr’s harm was a cracked tibia
The second-year receiver had a promising begin to his rookie season earlier than a considerably imprecise shin harm unexpectedly shut him down from November onward. Horton has since confirmed that he cracked his tibia, with the sensation in his shin stemming means again in Week 3 earlier than it turned an excessive amount of of an issue following the Week 9 win over the Washington Commanders.
“It was weird. About Week 3, I started feeling my shin and worked through it through a couple games. Got to Week 9, got it checked up and found out there was a crack. Ended up getting surgery on it and that was that. Something that you work through until you can’t. It’s not something that I wish happened but it did and we got the issue solved and the leg isn’t going anywhere now. I feel good.”
Horton had a metallic rod inserted into his leg after the Tremendous Bowl, and his restoration went easily sufficient for him to keep away from PUP and begin coaching camp Day 1.
Jadarian Worth on his go catching, go blocking
Seahawks first-round rookie Jadarian Worth is undoubtedly a proficient pure rusher, however there’s clearly extra to that to be an entire working again on the skilled degree. His lack of catches at Notre Dame has been introduced up as a priority for a staff seeking to get working backs extra concerned within the passing sport, whereas go safety is often a wrestle for any rookie. Right here’s what he needed to say on each fronts in his first media availability of camp.
(On go catching potential) “That’s one thing I have worked on since high school. I’ve continuously gotten better at it throughout college and that’s one thing people question going into the pros, so I worked on it and continue to work on it and understand the space and catching abilities.”
(On his go safety) “I’m improving. I’ve shown countless times in practice that I can catch the ball. Still need to show my pass protection more, but we’re going day by day and we’re day six in camp.”
Brian Fleury: Getting his tight ends and fullbacks concerned
It’s solely coaching camp. It’s solely coaching camp. But when that is going to be a serious wrinkle in Fleury’s offense in comparison with Klint Kubiak (who closely used A.J. Barner, in equity) then this could possibly be an thrilling growth. There’s all the time a optimistic in diversifying the passing assault, significantly in Seattle’s case with opposing defenses prone to be hell-bent on slowing down Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Spotlight: Sure, Devon Witherspoon is practising
He doesn’t have a brand new contract simply but, however he’s not doing a hold-in. With two years left on his present deal, talks are ongoing to make Witherspoon the best paid cornerback within the NFL. Within the meantime, he’s placing within the work on the follow subject.
Spotlight: Sam Darnold to Rashid Shaheed
Hey, we get them for a full offseason! Let’s see the chemistry proceed to enhance.
