- Dawgman has their recap of spring practice #7 which took place in the Seattle Seahawks’ VMAC facility. It seems that the defense is still leading the offense at this point. Here’s some video from practice. That’s freshman Derek Zammit (15) and Demond Williams (1) taking turns throwing. Some of the players making good catches are Trez Davis (12), Mason James (6), Baron Naone (85), Ryken Moon (32), Ansu Sanoe (30), Brian Bonner (34), Rashid Williams (3), and Chris Lawson (8).
