Devon Witherspoon made his presence between the lines in more ways than one at the Seahawks second joint practice, while a guard battle may be back on the menu.
Speaking with reporters afterward, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said both teams wanted to switch things up some in regard to situational football from Wednesday, placing more emphasis on red zone and two-minute drill work during team scrimmage periods in the second padded practice.
However, Haynes has been gaining momentum over the past week and change, including turning in an impressive NFL debut in Saturday's preseason win over the Chargers where he allowed one pressure on 20 pass blocking reps and stood out in the run game. Feeling he earned the opportunity to show what he can do, the Seahawks slid him into the starting lineup for Thursday's practice with Bradford relegated to the twos, though Macdonald tried to downplay the switch up.
While it may seem late in the process for a competition to break out, Haynes has always been in the rear view mirror closing in on Bradford, and Seattle clearly wants to see what he brings to the table in the next few weeks. Expect both players to see plenty of action in Saturday's preseason game with a chance to improve their standing as they view for the right guard job for Week 1.
"We had a good meeting yesterday; guys came out focused so it felt like we addressed most of those things. Again look, can't really tell, but we're making plays on the football which is really nice. Guys seem like we were on top of things in the red zone, which things move faster there especially against a new offense, new schemes, things you haven't seen. That was encouraging.
Engaged in playful trash talking banter throughout practice with former teammates Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams, who both signed with the Titans after being cut by the Seahawks in March, Witherspoon may have gotten the last laugh.
