RENTON — Rookie Frank Clark, the Seattle Seahawks
second-round draft pick, had his best day of training camp on Tuesday.
The defensive end, rushing from the outside, sped past fellow rookie and guard Mark Glowinski and others repeatedly during a one-on-one pass rush drill.
Once Glowinski got desperate and blatantly grabbed Clark by both ends of his shoulder pads. Clark responded by blatantly going after Glowinski following the whistle. Teammates had to separate them.
Rookie third-round pick Tyler Lockett continues to show why he’s likely to be more than just Seattle’s new kickoff and punt returner. Lined up as a wide receiver outside right and head up on All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman, Lockett got off the line past Sherman’s jam then ran past him by three yards on a deep post route.
Russell Wilson’s pass was just a tad too long off Lockett’s outstretched hands.
Hauschka kicks 65-yard field goal
Steven Hauschka drilled a 65-yard field goal, 1 more yard than the NFL record in a game. He had some help with a breeze at his back that was strong enough to make the “12th Man” flag just off the practice field blow straight out as Hauschka made the kick.
Matt Prater has the NFL record for a regulation game with a 64-yard field goal he made for Denver in 2013.
Seisay makes a point
Cornerback Mohammed Seisay, acquired from Detroit last week in a trade for a sixth-round draft choice, intercepted a pass intended for tight Jimmy Graham on an out-and-up route.
But later Seisay got frustrated with wide receiver Chris Matthews. After Matthews made a catch on him on the sideline, Seisay ripped Matthews’ helmet off and to the turf.
Matthews went at Seisay before teammates intervened. Rookie strong safety Keenan Lambert being the first peacekeeper. Richard Sherman then had a talk with Seisay.
“I can’t let that get the best of me,” said Seisay, who at 6-2 and 202 pounds looks the part of a big Seahawks defensive back.
But he also said: “I’m trying to come out here and make a name for myself.”
Extra points
In the think-of-everything department: Quarterbacks began practice with a drill in which a staffer rolled a shotgun snap back to them. They then picked up the ball and threw it as usual, trying to turn simulated chaos into routine throws. … Kevin Pierre-Louis was the starting outside linebacker on what looked like a rest day for K.J. Wright from team scrimmaging. … Undrafted rookie WR Kasen Williams came back down to earth after two meteoric practices. He dropped two passes, one when he tried for a one-handed grab that could have been two over rookie CB Tye Smith in the end zone. The second one was on the sideline on an out route with no defender near him. After the second one coach Pete Carroll went over to talk to the undrafted rookie from the University of Washington. … Dion Bailey was the No. 1 strong safety in Kam Chancellor’s absence for the second straight day, over DeShawn Shead. Marcus Burley alternated with Will Blackmon as the nickel back, after Blackmon had the job exclusively for the first nine practices. … It was Lemuel Jeanpierre’s day as the starting center. He and Drew Nowak are now alternating days at No. 1, it seems. Emerging Keavon Milton was again the first-team left guard instead of Alvin Bailey. … Graham, ex-Green Beret and rookie backup long snapper Nate Boyer and the offensive players walked to the lakeside sideline to sign autographs for hundreds of local service members visiting practice from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Naval Base Kitsap and the U.S. Coast Guard Thirteenth District in Seattle.
