Might as well throw in some ESPN stuff while we're at it:
Meanwhile, on one of the other fields, Bobby Wagner and Kam Chancellor stand side by side and take turns catching balls from defensive coordinator Kris Richard. As "Ante Up" blares from the speakers, Wagner shows the ability to multitask, cracking up Richard with his dance moves in between receptions. No one will ever accuse this team of being too tight.
12:20: The first-team offensive line from left to right is: Bradley Sowell, Mark Glowinski, Justin Britt, Ifedi and Terry Poole. Britt has officially made the move to center. Sowell and Poole are filling in for Gilliam and Webb.
With Rawls sidelined, Christine Michael gets the reps at running back with the first team.
12:32: A shotgun snap from Britt flies over Wilson's head. It should go without saying that he's learning a new position, and growing pains are to be expected.
With Bennett not in attendance, rookie Quinton Jefferson seems to be taking all of his snaps, playing defensive end in base with the starters and swinging inside when they move to sub packages. Frank Clark is taking Bruce Irvin's snaps at right defensive end in passing situations.
The Seahawks seem convinced that Brandon Browner can really help them. He's switched from cornerback to safety now and found himself in a number of different spots during practice -- covering tight ends often, blitzing and playing in the back end. Much of Browner's work came as a third safety with the starters in the team's sub packages. In these looks, the Seahawks went with four defensive linemen, one linebacker (Wagner) and six defensive backs. The dime look wasn't part of their arsenal last year, but it might be in 2016.
At cornerback, Jeremy Lane is lining up on the right side and swinging inside in sub packages. Tharold Simon then replaces him on the outside. Cornerback DeShawn Shead worked by himself off to the side with an undisclosed issue.
1:14: Second-year cornerback Tye Smith is one of the players Carroll singled out as having had an impressive offseason. During an 11-on-11 rep, he runs step for step with Tyler Lockett downfield and forces an incompletion. Richard Sherman, who is entering his sixth season in the NFL, appears to have more energy than anyone else on the field. He heads over to the offense's sideline and playfully mocks Lockett.
Graham, who is roughly nine inches taller than Lockett, serves as the wide receiver's muscle and (with a big smile on his face) steps in front of the wide receiver to shield him from Sherman.
Just at that moment, Sherman turns around, notices a near-interception by Simon and sprints back onto the field to celebrate.
