PC on the Rooks

Post by D-train » Mon Jun 13, 2022 5:09 pm

Obviously take with a grain of salt given its PC talking but thought there were some interesting tidbits here.
For some, that means getting used to the workload of the NFL. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll mentioned in his press conference after Thursday’s practice that the tight hamstrings a few of the rookies were experiencing indicated to him that they weren’t as well conditioned as they should be.
:shock:
• Boye Mafe, the defensive end out of Minnesota that the Seahawks selected with the 40th pick in the draft, drew a really favorable comparison from his head coach.

“He’s the closest looking fit to Cliff Avril that we’ve seen,” Carroll said. “The explosion and flexibility, the bend that he has. Cliff had a great career for us and in the league, and if he could get anywhere near that it would be a great plus for us. It looks like he has a chance to be that kind of a player but we’ll see how it goes.”
“Coby Bryant made a ton of plays out here. He’s a football player,” Carroll said. “Natural playmaker, he’s got great hands, might catch the ball as well as anybody on the team. He’s got terrific hands and you can see that adds to a guy’s confidence when they’re faced with the opportunity to make plays… That’s why he was recognized around the country, he’s a big time player. He did a nice job.”
The Seahawks took two receivers in the seventh round of the draft. Bo Melton is a 5-11, 194-pound speedster out of Rutgers who ran a 4.34 40-yard dash. Dareke Young from Lenoir-Rhyne University is a much bigger wideout at 6-3 and 220, but he is still very fast, posting a 4.47 40-yard dash time.


Carroll liked what he was able to see from the pair, but they had to sit out the majority of OTAs and all of minicamp so it sounds like he expects them to arrive in better physical condition for training camp.

“They should both be playing. They had some tightness that we had to keep from being hamstring pulls,” Carroll said. “Both of them from the workload, really to me, that tells me they weren’t in good enough shape. They came out flying and did really well when they had their chance and by the second week it seemed like it started to catch up. They just got susceptible to what happens. The soreness is the onset of a pull so we just were really careful with them to not let that happen. But both those guys did a nice job.”

Okay, but they were not injured, they were being cautious to keep them from being injured

Ya, Pete is loving Noah Fant, Mafe and Tariq Woolen. Apparently Woolen is blazingly fast. He’s 6-4, and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.26 seconds.

“Noah probably had one of, maybe the, most spectacular camps of anybody,” coach Pete Carroll said as Seattle’s offseason workouts and veteran minicamp ended. “I just thought he made plays throughout the whole time down the field, short-area stuff, understanding the scheme, all of it.
