“Battling For Some Swag” & Other Takeaways From Sunday's Mock Game - Seahawks.com

1. Ones vs. ones brings out the best in everyone. 

As Pete Carroll noted earlier in camp, the lack of preseason games has caused the Seahawks to change how they structure practice in some regards, and one change has been having the No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense face off more often to get them game ready. That was on display again Sunday, and as always, there was not just good play on both sides of the ball, but plenty of friendly trash talking going on on both sides of the ball. 

"The first thing is that it's really competitive, that's the best part of it," Carroll said. "There's so much pride on that field, everybody wants to come out on top. They know we're going to come in here and watch the highlights and al that kind of stuff. They know that they're battling just for some swag and all. It's really good. It's so valuable. And the guys are playing so fast, it feels game-like, it feels game speed, and that's all we could hope for here. That's what you're trying to capture when you don't have preseason games. You want to get it as often as you can so it's as normal as possible, so it's worked out great."

One player who has brought a lot of swagger to practice this year is safety Jamal Adams, who described his on-field energy and trash talking by saying, "That's just me, man. I've always been like that, I've always been wired like that. It gets me going, and it also brings out the competitive juices on the other side. When you're competing at a high level on both sides of the ball, it makes everybody better."
