After a recovery day on Thursday, the Seahawks were back on the practice field for the 11th practice of training camp, and the first that included crowd noise blasting over the speakers, which, combined with the fans in attendance, made for a pretty lively atmosphere.
Here are five observations from Day 11 of Seahawks training camp:
1. The noise added to the excitement of practice.
While the fans who attend training camp always bring the energy to camp, Friday's practice included some artificial crowd noise, a regular occurrence during the regular season, but a first for this year's camp.
"It was about time in camp that we wanted to start layering some periods and work in crowd noise so we can work our silent cadence on offense," Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said after practice on ESPN's Inside Training Camp Live. "We did a great job, for our first day on silent cadence, I thought our operation was really good."
Veteran outside linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence was enjoying the noise, frequently waving his arms up and down between plays to encourage fans to get louder, treating an early August practice rep like it was a key third down in a big game at Lumen Field.
"We got the best crowd in America, so if we're out here working, they're out here working too," Lawrence said. "That's what '12 as One' is for. I just wanted to get their juices sparked, let them know that I see them being a part of everything that we do here."
2. Nehemiah Pritchett & Drake Thomas both had impressive interceptions.
While Seattle's defense has been really good throughout camp, there haven't been as many takeaways as that unit would probably like, but on Friday that changed with linebacker Drake Thomas and cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett both coming down with impressive interceptions.
Thomas' pick came first, with the fourth-year linebacker dropping into coverage and making a quick, decisive break to undercut a pass intended for tight end AJ Barner.
Later in practice, after Sam Darnold had put together multiple impressive throws to Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to move the ball downfield on a drive that started at the 3-yard line, he tried to take a shot deep to Cody White. Pritchett, who was running stride for stride with White, was able to box out the bigger receiver and secure the interception. Pritchett also had a red zone pass breakup later in practice, continuing what has been a strong camp as he battles for the No. 3 cornerback job.
It's worth pointing out that, while the defense had those takeaways, Darnold and the offense also had some great moments, including a dart to Cooper Kupp for a red-zone score early in camp, then multiple touchdowns late in practice in another red zone session, including a Darnold pass to a sliding Smith-Njigba that came late in the quarterback's progression after he looked off multiple other reads.
3. Jadarian Price didn't practice, but the running game still had some big moments.
The Seahawks were without rookie running back Jadarian Price for Friday's practice—Macdonald was not scheduled to speak to the media Friday, so there were no injury updates—but even without a top running back, the run game produced some big plays. In one sequence that stood out, George Holani took a run outside behind a good block from Eric Saubert and was able to turn the corner for a big gain. On the next play, Emanuel Wilson ran through a huge hole created by the middle of Seattle's line for another first down.
Those were just two of several good runs for the offense, which was no doubt a welcome site for offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, who earlier in the week said he wanted to see more out of the running game.
"I want us to be better," Fleury said on Tuesday. "We are moving in the right direction. We have been efficient in practice, but I see things through a different lens. It's not the success of the play on the practice field. I'm looking at everyone's alignment and technique and there's a lot of room for growth there. Not to say that we're doing poorly but I expect that to be an extremely reliable portion of our game and it's not there yet."
4. The Barn Show was on display.
Tight end AJ Barner is coming off a very good second season and eying even more success in 2026, and his start to training camp has done nothing to temper those high expectations. Friday's practice was a particularly strong one for Barner, including a long catch and run for a touchdown after he got open on a play-action pass, and several other intermediate to long gains on passes from Darnold.
5. Michael Dickson is in midseason form.
The Seahawks don't tend to do a lot of live special teams plays in practice, with specialists often getting their work in on the side, but they did simulate a couple of punts on Friday, and Michael Dickson served up a reminder of why he is one of the best punters in the game. Dickson had one punt that landed inside the 10 where Velus Jones Jr. was able to bat it back to a teammate, downing the ball at the 3-yard line. Not long after, Dickson was back out to punt again from midfield, and he hit another near-perfect punt that was again downed inside the 5-yard line.
