1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Welcome Hawk fans to your Seahawks update. I'm Colin Cole. 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: Date nine of training camp is over and the heat 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: was turned up today at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center, 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: where the Hawks took to the field after a much 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: needed day off following the team's mock game practice that 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: took place at Pop Kenney Stadium in Bothol, Washington. With 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: the first preseason game coming up this Thursday game, weak 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: preparations are in full swing and for some this is 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: their first real chance to show what they can do. 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of excitement about this because we wait 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: so long, you know, and the anticipation of the you know, 12 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: all throughout the offseason, we talk about the game so 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: often and it finally gets here. So much of the 14 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: time we're talking about holding back, you know, from the 15 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: tempo and the hitting and all of that. So we 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: use the games to get our blocking and tackling together. 17 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: And so the first time we'll go full s people 18 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: be when we kick it off, and that's as far 19 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: as getting people on the ground. So it's a big 20 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: deal to us. It's a really really big deal to 21 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: the guys that have their first opportunity, you know, the 22 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: guys are here for the first time, and we dedicate 23 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: the game to those guys and make sure that they 24 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: get a lot of playtime and an opportunity to know 25 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: that they're in a football game for the first time. 26 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: The players welcome the preseason games as a form of 27 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: breaking up the monotony of training camp, as well as 28 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: a reminder of the ultimate goal of making an NFL roster. 29 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: Thing is it's like being able to be out there 30 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Was that they get a good opportunity. 31 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: You can practice it how many times you want to, 32 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: but the thing is that you don't get in a 33 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: game old or be in a that situation. You don't 34 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: learn to get that kind of experience. So I think 35 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: that's a great way to show how much they've learned 36 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: and how much they've grown. Today's injury report includes guard 37 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: Mike you Potty, linebackers Cody Barton, Bobby Wagner and Michael Kendricks, 38 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: pullback Nick the Loore, wide receiver DK metcalf and d 39 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: and Machine Green.
