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.

During punt return drills, the return men getting work were Justin Forsett, Nate Burleson, Ben Obomanu and (wait, wait, wait, are you ready for it?) Seneca Wallace.

Josh Wilson had a pretty nice interception of a pass along the sidelines at one point.

The kickers had another kickoff, and both hit all their attempts. (Editor's note to Seahawks' PR, it's only charting kicks if somebody happens to miss.) Olindo Mare dinged the upright on his last kick, a 48-yarder, but it bounced through.

John Carlson was out running more routes than he has in this camp, making some decent catches on a sloppy morning. TE Joe Newton had a tough end of practice. He caught a pass over the middle, and was essentially mugged by D.D. Lewis, who knocked the ball away and in the process knocked down Newton. Then on the last play of practice, a pass bounced off Newton's hands and into the hands of Kevin Hobbs, prompting a spirited dance and chant by the entire defense. Boling brought this up yesterday and I agree, Hobbs is making enough plays to really stand out.

There were no new injuries. Rocky Bernard once again took part in individual drills but not team drills. He was not available to talk.
