The first-time head coach isn't reinventing the wheel and undoing the culture instilled in Seattle by Pete Carroll, but is already molding the team in his own vision.
The music is a little softer, the teaching is a little more deliberate, but not everything has changed here as Mike Macdonald takes the seat Pete Carroll held for 14 years. The Seahawks still want to be physical, fast and smart. Here’s the rest of what I took from my day with them …
• Charles Cross has the look of a guy who could ascend to an All-Pro level, and carrying that at left tackle is a good place for any offensive line to start. But there are real questions on what the team will do at the interior spots that need to be sorted through in the coming weeks. Veteran Laken Tomlinson likely locks in one guard spot. Second-year man Anthony Bradford has the talent to be a pillar at the other one, but will have to hold off McClendon Curtis.
• Kenneth Walker III was the star of Monday’s practice, the first one in full pads, and it reflected the sort of spring and summer he’s had. To the new staff, he looks like the kind of back you can play on all three downs, and build a running game around. And Zach Charbonnet gives the team some depth behind him.
