It was a two-hour session that had a lot of passing drills. Nate Burleson struggled some, had three or four dropped balls over the course of the two practices. Free agent Travis Brown had a blatant dropped ball while wide open in the middle of the field. I thought Jordan Kent looked pretty good, as did Courtney Taylor and Ben Obomanu. Hugh Millen had a funny observation about the tight ends: If you took their names and numbers off their jerseys, would you even know who is who? (or is that whom?) They all look essentially the same, between 6-4 and 6-7 and weighing about 250-260 pounds. Will Heller stands out because he is 6-6, 270, but everybody else, including John Carlson, looks essentially the same. Somebody asked earlier how Jeb Putzier looked, so I watched him specifically this practice. He looked pretty good, and Matt Hasselbeck commented afterward that he obviously is a veteran, knows what he is doing and is in the right places.

The biggest thing is that Rocky Bernard was no where to be seen. He was the only player. Mike Holmgren said that he was not practicing because he had surgery on his foot, which was new information, though he didn't really say why he was the only player not out on the field. Holmgren re-iterated that he expected the legal issues to play themselves out and for the situation to go away. Also not practicing were Patrick Kerney, Mike Green, Deion Branch, Marcus Tubbs, Chris Spencer and Will Herring and Walter Jones.

The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed veteran tackle/guard Floyd Womack to a one-year contract, the team announced this morning. Womack, drafted by Seattle with the third of three fourth-round choices (128th overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft, has played in 76 games with 32 starts. He played in 14 games with one start last year for the Seahawks. To make room on the roster, the team released defensive tackle Jonathan Lewis, who signed as a free agent on January 15.
