Practice 8/2


Squirrel

Recommended Posts

Cam looked really good when no pressure was on, but the big man got happy feet in 11-on-11. He has a cannon, for sure, but I'm not sure he's going to have the speed of the game down by the time the regular season starts.

probably won't....not sure any rookie, even the good ones, have the speed down early.

Just got back from practice...grabbing some lunch before getting home. Honestly, I mostly focused on the QBs with postional drills and STs consuming the majortiy of practice.

If anyone wants my take, just let me know.

Did Clausen look as bad today as it sounds?

I just don't think it realistic to expect him to be ready to start but him heap big man.

Cam looked cool as a cumcumber when it was just WR drills one-on-one with a single DB. Admittedly, he was killing it maybe with maybe one incompletion. I could tell, though, he was uncomfortable in the 11-on-11 being very fidgitty, happy feet and missing throws he was nailing earlier.

Everette brown has hardly looked bad enuff to be released. some of you jump to conclusions about brown because he was getting beat by jeff otah in the first week of practice? News flash most of the defensive ends in the league would get pushed around by otah. At the end of the season brown showed alot of promise. he should atleast play out his rookie contract.

Early, yeah, he looked average...horrible is a bit overblown. He was targeting Smitty too much and it seems that they just don't have that bond...don't know if they ever will. The throw that Jimmy consistantly missed was the comeback route on the sidelines. I couldn't tell if it was Jimmy, the WR or a combination of both.

All in all I say the two did well today, but in different areas. As mention Clausen struggled with the sideline comeback and Newton needs to work on keeping the ball down and not leading the WR so much. Clausen needs to treat positional drills the same as 11-on-11's. He tends to go though the motions and not play at game speed. His passes were lazy early on and got crisper as the practice drew on. Those first few passes are I guess what people were refering to as horrible.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
