Day 10 of Seahawks training camp brought hot weather, some smokey air and some good competitive action that made for what head coach Mike Macdonald called a great practice.
"That was a great practice, probably our longest to date, our hottest to date, and a lot of great stuff," he said. "There's a lot of stuff we're going to learn from and have a great opportunity to get better. So I was really pleased with the last couple of days. Tomorrow is a rest day, they'll be here most of the day, it'll be a little bit shorter, but it'll be dedicated to rest and recovery, then we'll accelerate into the weekend with a great practice Friday, then our stadium practice on Saturday. It'll be fun to get back to Lumen and see the 12s at Lumen (Field)."
Here are five observations from Day 10 of Seahawks camp:
1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a great day, but one young fan wasn't overly impressed.
After Jaxon Smith-Njigba secured yet another impressive catch on the sideline in what was his most productive practice of camp, one young fan shouted from the berm, "Not bad, not bad, but not the best catch I ever saw."
Hopefully that young fan kept watching, because not long after, Smith-Njigba hauled in a spectacular toe-tapping catch while fully extended at the sideline that was initially ruled incomplete before a "challenge" led to it being overturned.
Considering that Smith-Njigba led the NFL in receiving last season and is the reigning AP Offensive Player of the Year, it's really stating the obvious to say he's a great player, but certain days like Wednesday's practice, help drive that point home.
"It was great, it was great to see him come to life," Macdonald said. "And high-leverage situations too, and especially when there's defensive attention on where he's at at all times, so for him to be able to make those plays, it's great for the Seahawks and it's great for him."
2. The veterans on Seattle's defensive front came to play on Wednesday.
It's no secret that the Seahawks have a pretty loaded defensive front, a group that features a nice mix of veterans and younger players, and on Wednesday, the old guard showed up in a big way. One particular sequence late in practice really highlighted that part of Seattle's defense. First, Dante Fowler Jr. ended one drive with a "sack," then after the team moved down the field for a red-zone session, Leonard Williams blew up a run play for a big loss, which was followed one play later by Jarran Reed getting to Sam Darnold for a "sack."
"They mean everything. I told those guys last week, 'Y'all cannot leave until I'm done, so y'all need to figure out another 10 years to your career,'" outside linebacker Derick Hall said. "Being able to have those guys in the room, the veteran leadership—there's nothing in this game they haven't seen, the hardest days, the lighter days. Those are the guys that you lean on when you have questions, when you have concerns about what may come up, 'What're they presenting right here? What do you think I can do here better?' Just being able to have that veteran leadership is second to none. We have a lot of that on this team, but specifically in the D-line room. It's second to none; they're amazing."
3. Tyrice Knight is going to be hard to keep off the field.
Earlier in camp, Macdonald noted that linebacker Tyrice Knight was pushing for playing time, and he continues to show up in practice, making his case for carving out a role in the defense. On Wednesday, Knight's day included a diving interception to snag a tipped ball just before it hit the ground, as well as strong coverage to break up a pass intended for Elijah Arroyo. With Ernest Jones IV and Drake Thomas playing as well as they are, it will be tough to break into the starting lineup, but Knight, a former starter before Thomas took over that role, is going to be hard to keep off the field in some capacity based on what he is showing so far in camp.
4. The receiver depth keeps showing up.
The Seahawks have a very talented trio at receiver atop their depth chart in Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed, but as Wednesday's practice demonstrated, there is a lot of depth at that position, even with Jake Bobo dealing with an injury.
Two receivers in particular that have had strong camps, and who had big days Wednesday, are Cody White and Montorie Foster Jr. Both players had several catches in practice No. 10, including touchdowns in red zone drills, and both continue to demonstrate how difficult the decision will be when it comes to final roster spots at that position.
5. The Hard Knocks experience has been positive so far.
The first episode of Hard Knox debuted on Tuesday night, highlighting the start of training camp while showcasing the personalities of Macdonald and several players. And while it's hard to miss the presence of the Hard Knocks crew at camp, the team is enjoying the experience.
"I thought it was great," Macdonald said of the first episode. "Shout out to HBO—you realize how many people it takes to make this thing come to life. There's people everywhere, like crawling out of cupboards. There's cameras everywhere, and they really have been a joy to work with. Not knowing going into this situation how everything was going to operate and what it was going to look like logistically, we have a really high appreciation and respect for how they've gone about their business, and just the spirit of what they're trying to capture. We know they're great at their job, and I'm proud of our guys, because I feel like we've been ourselves the whole time, with a couple of fun exceptions, and we've let those people know, but it's been a fun experience."
