Seahawks Insider

This was part of Mike Holmgren's session with the media on Tuesday. He was asked about the tight end position and the running backs:

“I am not sure. I don’t think it has been long enough. I really have to see more it and certainly we have it see them in pads. We drafted John Carlson but Will Heller is having a heck of a camp. I like Putzier, I like what he is doing. He is playing nicked up a little bit. Alcorn is good. The tight end position, we have some choices there. It will be an interesting battle in training camp.

The running back position, Julius and Mo (Morris) will both play. I have to kind of see how we are going to use Duckett. That is what I am looking at right now; Fullback, halfback. He has been a halfback but I would like him to move into fullback a little bit. Curran, I like Curran. He is kind of a bowling ball with legs. He is a tough guy, a smart guy. If he shows well on special teams, who knows? And then Leonard (Weaver), I expect to take the next step. He was pretty good for us down the stretch last year. I expect him to take the next step this year.

(Owen Schmitt) is eager and he is smart and he is tenacious. In a brief period of time you saw what you saw on film. I suspect if you put the pads on, that will be a better situation for him than at mini camp in shorts. When you have players like that, the short thing is okay, but when you really get a chance to bang into people, you really show what you can do.”
