Seattle Seahawks Minicamp Day 2 Takeaways: Devon Witherspoon, Defense Dominant Again

Earning themselves an early exit for summer break in the process, the Seattle Seahawks partook in a competitive final mandatory minicamp practice headlined by a strong performance from Devon Witherspoon and a ball-hawking cornerback group. Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang discuss how Witherspoon has quickly surfaced as one of Seattle's vocal leaders in just his second NFL season and how the rest of a talented cornerback unit has followed his lead, dive into where things stand on the right side of the offensive line coming out of Wednesday's session, and dish out other key takeaways from minicamp, including potential reasons for cautious optimism at inside linebacker.

You nailed it Rob the fact that Macdonald has enough confidence in that the team is picking up what he is laying down to skip the last practice is a good sign GO HAWKS!!!

[@cindyschell4462]

There has been so little discussion about Bobo during OTAs this year. I’m so glad to hear he is making impressive plays as he did last year. I think he is too talented to be released from from the roster. He may remain be WR 4 for a couple of years but he is a very reliable back up if DK, Tyler, or JSN can’t play for any reason.

[@cindyschell4462]

He gave a great interview on Seattle Sports a couple of days ago

[@jasonanderson5980]

More Bobo! Yeah, he doesn't have the most amazing measurables, but Jake Bobo just gets s**t done! Like Coach Chuck Knox used to say, "Football players make football plays." Jake Bobo is a Football Playa, straight up.

[@CoryVB133]

I just bought my 2 year old son a Bobo jersey....I sure hope he makes the team...

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGentile]

Jersey insurance

[@208flatheads3]

Unfortunately I can see them giving his spot to Robbie Anderson.. which is bs imo

[@pandaemoniumbad]

He definitely will. He's easily our 4 or 5 WR

[@daveesp9441]

There's going to be some tough decisions to make at corner.

[@2atalkandpolitics422]

Spoon the 2nd coming of Thomas, Sherman or chancellor or all 3? He has traits of all of them. Called it lol. I edited those but I called the traits before I got to the section of spoons traitts

[@chrissnape9537]

Dareke Young could be named fullback.

[@jasonanderson5980]

Question, for people who know more about NFL Football than I do .. what happened with BT Jordan, our pass rush specialist coach last year; how should we evaluate his impact/lack of impact last season?

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

Idk but he gone

[@thedarkestowl4224]

I like what I'm seeing! 💙💚😊

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGentile]

Witherspoon reminds me of ronde barber

[@jefffoumal2864]

Go Hawks 🏈 💙 💚

[@profd65]

An entirely new offense and defense is being installed, the coaches and players are complete strangers to each other, the NFL allows us only three practice sessions and so naturally we skip one of them and send everybody home? Yea, that's a genius move for sure. Either McDonald is trying to be too cute and original, or there's some serious unmentioned problem that they're trying to fix behind the scenes.

[@LockedOnSeahawks]

Or they started a week early and Macdonald doesn't think they'll gain much at risk for injuries doing one more practice...
