This post will admittedly be shorter than others because A) I can't feel my fingers to type a&^%$$&*())__nd B) my notebook got soaked every time I pulled it out of my pocket and it would not retain ink.
Having said that, newly acquired WR Chas Gessner made two really nice catches along the sideline, standing out for the first time.
Most of the practice looked slow, in part because players were very wary while trying to gain their footing. Patrick Kerney was on the side field pulling weights on a sled, and Rob Sims was off to the side doing some work on the blocking sled. I swear Sims' arms look twice as big as they did last year, which is to say 8 times as big as mine.
It is raining in Kirkland right now equally as hard as it was raining on Tuesday, when the team moved its practice to UW. However, the Seahawks have decided to stay and practice at the Kirkland facility. This should be interesting because I know offensive coordinator Gil Haskell has been anxious to have a good practice. I'll update after practice.
