Peter King on Seahawks Training Camp

I like it. Hopefully this will all translate into the 2011-2013 era mentality that seems to have been missing the last few seasons.

Frank Clark "setting tempo", mixing it up with O line.
Good for him, IMO they need it.

"A testy offseason team workout had enough contact (forbidden under the collective bargaining agreement) that the Seahawks got docked a fifth-round draft choice for the violation. "

This is a quote from the article about halfway through.

Thank you for sharing the article and I'm sorry to nitpick, but it irritates the bananas out of me when journalists don't bother researching.

The practice he was mentioning was from last offseason, which got us stripped the 5th rounder this year.

Good for him, very bad for Joeckel who got completely trucked and got knocked on his ass like a rag doll on the first pass play. :|

Wake up call, highlighting weak spots.
If your own teammate is knocking you on your ass, imagine what the "real" opponents will do.
Iron sharpens iron.

Yes it does, but it plays hell on marshmallows.

Good post, good article. For someone who doesn't have a ton of time to follow training camp, I love updates like this and insights from those of you who can get out there and see it for yourself and report back to the rest of us.

Trying to keep expectations low for this season . . .

Set the tone for the new comers, this isn't like where you came from, don't go 100 percent and the person across from you will make you look bush league.

Sounds like Pete wanted a "message" send to all the players in Camp, "Play 100% all of the time". None of this "Can't we all be brothers sh*t".

I know they had a rapper at one practice.

Did the Ultimate Warrior make an appearance at this one?

I LOL'ed at the rookie who got blasted for celebrating a TD, good stuff.

That is how training camp should be IMO. Unfortunately, in today's NFL it's probably going to cost us draft picks or practice time or both.

The sitting position, apparently!

I keep seeing Neiko Thorpe being featured in many of the highlights from training camp.

As in spectacularly beaten by Graham, spectacularly beaten by Kearse... Ugh
