I briefly spoke with first-round draft pick Lawrence Jackson, who said his agent has not even had discussions yet with the Seahawks about a contract. HE said that is more on the Seahawks' schedule than his own. Talks are likely to ensue after next week's mini-camp ends.

The 90-minute practice was dominated by teaching, and once again was under overcast skies, though the sun broke through at the end.

During a blitz drill, Marcus Trufant had an interception of Matt Hasselbeck pass, while Kevin Hobbs picked off a Charlie Frye pass.

Rookie tight end John Carlson once again had limited action because of a tweaked hammy, which I think frustrates the coaches a bit because they are anxious to get him in there and learning the new system. They are really counting on Carlson to be a big contributor this year, and the more reps he can get before training camp the better.

For the first time that I have seen, Walter Jones actually did some work. He was not wearing his helmet, but he was off to the side with offensive line coach Mike Solari working on footwork and technique in pass blocking drills.

During special teams, Josh Wilson and Courtney Taylor were one return unit, and Nate Burleson and Jordan Kent were another. One on return, special teams coach Bruce DeHaven called for a return right, then watched Burleson go left. He was not pleased, though he is so good natured you would never know it.

During field goal attempts, both Olindo Mare and Brandon Coutu appeared to make all their kicks.

In a daily Red Bryant update, the rookie bullrushed Steve Vallos in one drill to the point that Vallos almost bent over backwards in half, which prompted guffaws from Big Walt. After some instruction from Rocky Bernard, Bryant went over and tapped Vallos on the helmet.

Jordan Kent got behind Kelly Jennings on one play for a deep TD pass from Dalton Bell. Play of the day. I am writing on Kent for tomorrow's newspaper and will try to post the story when I am finished. He is an interesting case because of his combination of potential and inexperience, and what that means for his future when Deion Branch returns.
