Eric Williams over at Seahawks Insider commented on the intensity of practice and the big hits delivered, despite players practicing in no pads, just helmets.
He thinks a fight will break out at some point over the next two days due to the aggression demonstrated by players on the first day.
Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck practiced and seemed to move well. His comments to the press have yet to be released.
Despite being listed as a guard in earlier reports, Ray Willis practiced at tackle to replace Jones. Rob Sims played at his usual right guard.
