With the rookies portion of the mini camps over it is time to focus on the veterans. At this point even a second year man is considered a vet simply because, they are no longer rookies. This of course is more of a second year player's point of view so that doesn't say much.
The question now is; who is going to show out in mini camps? We have a bevy of young receivers vying for a position on this field....i.e. Payne, Obamanu, Taylor and Kent. A couple of defensive players to battle out the rookies for a starting position...i.e. Mebane and Tapp. Lastly, I think one of the biggest changes in offense in Seattle since Holmgren singed here in 1999 has to be the running back round a bout and the hiring of Mike Solari. So...who is going to show out the best will it be a RB, DT, DE, WR, O-lineman?
There is loads of talk in the sports media(when they actually talk about Seattle) about the running backs shining this year for the Hawks. This I believe, but I would say the newly found virility of the offensive line coach and his staff will have a lot to do with it. Look for Mo Morris and Julius Jones to have a pretty hefty battle for the starting role. Two similar styles fighting for yards may prove for an exciting training camp and maybe even an exciting pre-season.
While veteran offensive linemen work their tale off to protect the runners; the will have to perform double duty to protect the face of the franchise...Matt Hasselbeck.
