The Seattle Seahawks have been decidedly conservative with their training camp practices. Entering Saturday's Lumen Field Football Fan Fest, the Super Bowl champs have held just three padded practices. We ****** ume they'll be in pads for Football Fest, but otherwise perhaps a combination of injuries and Mike Macdonald taking a different approach as reigning champions has led to a change in how this year's camp will look.
Pads or no pads, there was still plenty to glean from Friday's practice. Once again, I'm emptying the notebook with what I saw, with some extra eyes credited to Field Gulls' Bryce Coutts and Seahawks Forever's Dan Viens.
When the Seahawks signed Emanuel Wilson, it was just a "meh" for me, especially when Tyler Allgeier was on the free agent market. When he was with the Green Bay Packers, he looked like a solid backup with not much burst but a willingness to go north-south.
Well, maybe that's what John Schneider wanted.
Wilson in run schemes where the goal is one cut and go north is a more than capable back. He's shown good hands catching passes out in the flat, and I bet in padded practices he'd be pretty physical lowering his shoulder and plowing through defenders. Emanuel had a lot of first-team reps and looked good with his opportunities. Incidentally, the running game was better on Friday than Wednesday, and some of that might also have been going under center more as opposed to a lot of shotgun.
