Condotta’s impressions from Day 6

Lots of good stuff here, worth reading in full:

- Rookie RB Rashaad Penny shared some first team carries with Chris Carson.

- “Bradley McDougald at strong safety and Tedric Thompson at free with the number one defense”

- Brandon Marshall caught a TD pass from Wilson. Marcus Johnson got a TD pass, as well. Johnson seems to have a knack for making the contested catch. He has also reportedly shown improvement as a gunner on special teams, which increases his team value. WR competition is going to be tight. Baldwin expected back by Week 1. Lockett & Brown are locks. Keenan Reynolds has been showing out in the slot, and he is taking on a role as a blocker on returns. Damorea’ea Stringfellow caught two TDs today. Darboh and Moore have also been praised, but Moore is currently sitting out with a hip injury. The WR competition is insane.

-“[CB Trovon] Reed caught up to a deep Russell Wilson pass intended for Marcus Johnson that appeared to get hung up in the wind a little to pick it off, his fourth interception in three days.”

- Quinton Jefferson and rookie Jacob Martin had good days at DE, as Marcus Smith and Rasheem Green sat out practice. We’ve been hearing a lot about Martin’s athleticism and explosiveness. But it’s good to hear that Jefferson had a good showing.

- The kickers were a combined 9/9 today.

- This article has plenty of other interesting points (rookie Will Dissply flashing as a receiving TE, after getting plaudits on his blocking, etc.), but these were a few that caught my eye.

Seahawks.com has its own observations.

It seems like every practice brings a new receiver standing out, be it a veteran like Doug Baldwin early in camp or Tyler Lockett or Jaron Brown, or a young up-and comer trying to make his mark like Amara Darboh, David Moore, Marcus Johnson or Keenan Reynolds.

On Thursday, it was Cyril Grayson Jr. and Damore’ea Stringfellow coming up with some of the day’s biggest plays. Grayson Jr., who has had a couple solid practices in a row, used his All-American track speed to get open down the left sideline and catch a well-placed deep ball from Austin Davis. Stringfellow, meanwhile, had several catches, including a touchdown from Wilson in red-zone drills, an impressive leaping grab in 7-on-7s, and another touchdown late in practice from a scrambling Alex McGough.

Everyone says McKissic is in amazing shape, looking very explosive, and it’s cool to hear that he is also laying the wood to the defense.
