Seattle Seahawks defensive end Red Bryant did not practice today because of a foot issue, the only player that did not practice as the team worked outside today.

Bryant missed practice with a foot issue the week leading up to the New York Jets game on Nov. 11, but still played on Sunday.

After practicing for the first time in over a month as a limited participant on Wednesday, offensive guard James Carpenter was a full participant in practice on Thursday, and appears on schedule to play this weekend against Miami.

Jones has taken reps at 5 as has Scruggs. It will be a fall off in run D, but likely a better pass rush. One thing about Red playing the 5 in the pass rush is that he bull rushes a lot and it cuts off the backside getaway when Clem is closing in. When the opposite outside end is more of a speed rusher then the sort of symbiotic affect of the DT pass rush lanes are that much more important. They have to be able to cut off the QB stepping up in the pocket. DEs need to throw those inside redirects in there every now and then.

Anyway, probably Jones....if Red can't go, that is.

His father in law probably pulled some strings.

If Red missed time, I think Alan Branch plays his spot and we see a lot more of Jason Jones and Clinton McDonald at DT.

Branch is very similar to Red size-wise, and plays against the run. Also remember that Branch played DE in Arizona. I thought when we signed Branch originally that it was to be Red's backup before they put him almost exclusively at DT.

With Bryant resting a sore foot, three-technique tackle Alan Branch moved to his end spot and was replaced at tackle by Jason Jones.

Both Branch and Jones are in a contract year. They must finish strong over the next 6 games.
