The weblog will continue to evolve as we change our focus to training camp.

I'm back off vacation and spent today shaping a column for the Sunday paper advancing training camp ... capsulizing many of the issues and concerns we've dealt with here for the past month. You can check for that in the paper or our on-line version.

Ryan Divish and I will staff the opening of camp tomorrow and supply a column, news story, probably a notebook or sidebar, and most likely some manner of a camp-info box with newsy tidbits. Ryan and I will both continue to feed the weblog until Frank Hughes joins us Aug. 1.

To clarify a misconception of some posters, I'm not taking over the Seahawks insider weblog. I aim to occasionally contribute some observations and analysis to supplement the news entries of our beat people. We haven't worked out a definite schedule yet. I do wish to thank you for your kind words and support. I am particularly delighted to see so many the weblog's "voyeurs" actually step out of the shadows and take part in recent discussions. I am also overwhelmed by your knowledge of the topic and your passion for your team ... not to mention the vast geographical breadth of participation. Posts from Denmark and Yokohama and London, etc., support the notion of NFL globalization. Thanks very much for your contributions.

What to expect: The Hawks will have a morning and afternoon practice on Sunday. Holmgren usually speaks after the first practice, with Hasselbeck or Alexander addressing groups in the afternoon. There may be group breakouts with other key individuals, perhaps Kerney or Tubbs. Otherwise most players and assistants are generally available after each practice and also after lunch. Usually, they'll go in shorts and helmets the first day or two and then ease into pads and more contact. After they get going, they'll usually schedule an afternoon practice for special teams every other day or two, giving a portion of the team that time for a breather.
