Practicing against your own defense can get monotonous but it's been a joy so far for Tomlinson, who expects iron will sharpen iron come training camp.
So far, what we know is thatis going to be pivotal, especially on the defensive line. The Seahawks have multiple 300 pound linemen who can play in multiple spots and edge rushers who can be a little bit versatile, including Leonard Williams and rookie Byron Murphy II.
Sometimes, when you go up against a unit in practice, it can be a frustrating one. The Minnesota Vikings had that happen this past year when Brian Flores came into the fold, as he wrecked the offense for multiple weeks. That hasn't been the case yet for the Seahawks, but they also haven't put the pads on yet.was asked about facing Macdonald's defensive scheme and had some positive things to say about how those reps will be impactful come Sundays this fall.
“As an offensive player, you go out there and you have your game plan throughout the week, but the way he runs his defense, there's no holes and he forces you to play a certain way and sometimes that could slow some offenses up and not get them in the groove, but that's what makes it awesome to go against in practice because now they're sharpening us and then we can come out and sharpen them.
While he seems happy with the results so far in the on-field competition against his new teammates, these battles are going to wage all throughout training camp and Tomlinson may not necessarily have the same opinion of Macdonald's defense come August.
