Jacked up

The coaches are excited.

They’re hoping to get their players in that mood too.

Coach Pete Carroll and his assistants spontaneously formed a cheering tunnel for their players to run through as they headed into this morning’s meetings, a scene slightly reminiscent of a high school pep rally but one that enthused all involved, whether the oldest veteran or the youngest rookie.

The Seahawks are in meetings at Virginia Mason Athletic Center now before a walk-thru in the indoor practice facility at 10:45. The team is scheduled to depart at 1 p.m. for their Husky Stadium mock game, which is set for 1:30 today.
