“There were a couple of ones where we just want to be a little smarter going to the ground and stuff where we we’re trying to stay on our feet, but for the most part, guys did a good job.”
Said Callahan, “Both teams had a lot of energy, a lot of back and forth, but no real issues, so that was good… Really happy with the way our team handled themselves, and really enjoyed the fact that the Seahawks did the same. It was good, it was a lot of talking and jawing, but that’s football. We all played within the rules today, and I thought that was good. We’re all going to take it to the edge, that’s how it works; they are too. But it was good to see it not execute past that. We played good, clean football for most of that practice, so that was good.”
Whether it was a gunner on punt coverage battling through a double team, or Jamal Adams tackling Kenneth Walker III to the ground, or Coby Bryant knocking a Titans running back off his feet with a well-placed shoulder, or Tyrel Dodson accidentally grabbing ahold of a facemask on cutback run, there were moments in which tensions could have risen to an unacceptable point, but to their credit, players on both teams handled those moments well.
“I’m really proud of both teams, because there was a lot of great competition out there,” Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith said. “Guys were really competing and trying to get better, and sometimes things get edgy out there, it’s football. You’ve got big grown men pushing and shoving on each other all day, it’s bound to happen, but I thought the coaches did a great job pre-practice just talking about how we want to practice. I thought guys did a great job, even if it did get a little chippy out here, of just pulling back and not getting into a fight or anything.”
