I have the Seahawk app and I assume stuff there is on seahawks.com but I am far too busy (read: lazy) to confirm it.. a couple of things I hadnt seen mentioned here that I thought were worth noting:
1) Russell Wilson put on another 10 pounds of muscle (over his listed playing weight of 206) over the off season while working with a new personal trainer. Apparently a big focus was getting faster, but he also said the extra leg muscle also helps arm strength. It sounded like getting caught from behind by linebackers last year a couple times sort of irked the competitive side of him.
2) BJ Daniels is almost totally a WR (and returner now) and only worked as a QB last week because Wilson was gone. I sort of , kind of almost feel bad for Daniels in that case. Hes in a crowded position group and needs the reps at the new position but spent half the OTAs throwing the ball.
3) Earl Thomas participated in everything except 11 on 11s. Thats ahead of schedule.
4) Ryan Robinson (whos name is the same as the kid whose arm I broke in junior high..and to whom I never apologized..sorry Ryan!) got some reps with the First Team at DE. Jordan Hill started at DT with Rubin since Mebane and McDaniel sat out.
5) Christine Michael was held out of OTAs on Tuesday. Thats sort of a big deal since this is supposed to be his big chance with Lynch not there and Turbin recovering from hip surgery. Thomas Rawls and Rod Smith (Rod Smith has got to be the most common NFL name of the past 10 years..), undrafted rookies, took all the snaps at RB. Pretty exciting for them I would bet.
6) not news of course..but this bears repeating: RJ Archer is our only full time back up QB. He is 27 years old, who signed with the Vikings after going undrafted in 2010. He played 3 years of Arena football.. as far as I can tell he was out of football in 2013 and 2014?? and now he is our main back up? Now, he has a perfect NAME for a QB.. but is this the best we can do? If TJack does get a better offer somewhere, surely Archer is not our only option?
