Taking their training camp show to the Music City, some of the Seahawks biggest stars shined in their first joint practice against the Titans on Wednesday.
Hitting the road for joint practices with another NFL team for the first time since way back in 1991, the Seattle Seahawks sparred with the Tennessee Titans in Nashville for theFamiliar with joint practices from his time as a defensive coordinator and assistant coach with the Ravens, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald unsurprisingly spent the majority of Wednesday's session watching his first team defense go against the Titans starting offense on one of the two scrimmage fields.
As for how much of the playbook the Seahawks plan to use this week, Macdonald didn't dive into specifics, but made it clear the team has more liberty to work on some of their favorite concepts than they would in Saturday's exhibition game in Nashville. "It felt like we played the run pretty well up front. There's some things that we’ve got play better on in some schemes, on the edge and second level. It's tough to tell what's happening inside in real time, but it felt like the guys played the box pretty well, and we circled the ball. And there's a couple explosives that we're going to want to look and see, in the pass game that we got to fix.
Not having to worry about going against each other for several days, Metcalf and Woolen benefited immensely from those heated reps in training camp facing another opponent on the practice field. As for Woolen, the third-year cornerback continued a fantastic training camp with some exciting reps working against Titans star receiver Calvin Ridley. Though the two players each one their share of battles in the 1-on-1 period, Woolen recorded a pass breakup and also had an impressive rep where he stuck to Ridley and prevented the quarterback from even attempting a pass on a comeback route, drawing praise from legend Richard Sherman on social media.
"Running the ball, blocking, all those. Shoot, you name it, that's three about the top four things you want from your backs, so I can't wait to see it. Those are the things we expect from our guys," Macdonald said, acknowledging he will have to wait until film review to assess Holani's play.
