Big Man Touchdown and other Seahawks simulated game takeaways at Lumen Field

The Seahawks have signed Dickson for a multi-year contract extension this offseason, and while most of a punter’s job is done on the side in practice, Sunday gave Dickson a chance to remind people why he is one of the highest paid bettors in the NFL. Kicking just past midfield, Dickson hit a low punt from the returner, and the ball rebounded just inside the 10, verified as if it was a Titleist hit by a lob corner, then elapsed to the 3-meter line, a 55-yard effort without return.

Not to be outdone by his fellow specialist, kicker Jason Myers, who didn’t miss any field goal last season, scored 4 for 4, including marks from 50 and 44 yards. Myers missed an extra point, however.

Tre Brown is one of the smaller cornerbacks in the Seattle roster, listed at 5-10, 185 pounds, but the Oklahoma rookie certainly isn’t playing small. With pads underway and with a bit more contact in simulated play, Brown has shown his willingness to put a hit on running backs and receivers. He also pulled off a perfectly timed shot to break an apparent route to Aaron Fuller who would otherwise have made a big win.

“He hasn’t had bad plays,” Carroll said of the rookie camp. “He hasn’t had enough corners yet, just opportunities to show the tough situations he can find himself in and all that. We try to create them as much as possible. We have a number of corners that we are looking at, so the opportunities have been spread over a number of guys so I don’t have enough information yet; it’s going to take a bit on that assessment. But how I do it, I watch all of its games, as I continue to add to the games he played, as well as all the guys, are there any games in there that are bad, misinterpreted? He doesn’t have that. smart football. He was aggressive. “

The Seahawks were without starting left tackle Duane Brown, who continues to sit in training at camp, as well as tackles Cedric Ogbuehi, Jamarco Jones and Tommy Champion, all of whom suffer from recent injuries.

That meant a lot of work on the left tackle with the No.1 offense for rookie Stone Forsythe, and while the Seahawks obviously want everyone back on the pitch, Sunday was a good opportunity for Florida’s sixth round pick.

“What a great opportunity for him,” Carroll said. “A fantastic opportunity for him to come out here. You have Russ in the caucus and the guys and all that. I can’t wait to see how he did. He fought all the time, he has a really good mentality, he’s tough, he’s smart. He doesn’t say anything, he just wants to know his job and do it. He’s been a really nice addition at this point. “

As for Brown, who is entering the final year of the contract extension he signed in 2018, Carroll said. “Duane and I are doing great. In our conversations about things he’s been great. He’s making a statement about what he thinks needs to happen.”

When asked how long he is due to see Brown on the field again, Carroll did not give a specific timeline but noted that whatever happens Brown will not be playing in the preseason.
