Friday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities at Seahawks minicamp: FOCUS ON LenDale White. The third, and final, day of the NFL draft last week dawned very early for the Tennessee Titans’ running back. It started with a crack-of-dawn phone call from Pete Carroll, his old coach at USC and suddenly his new coach with the [...]

We interrupt Walter Jones Day, as proclaimed by Gov. Christian Gregoire, for a look at the Seahawks’ minicamp roster. A long look. A shades-of-Chuck-Knox look. The club has 101 players on hand for today’s first practice, which is scheduled to begin at 1:30. How is this possible in the era of the 80-man roster limit? [...]
