The Seahawks started practicing in pads this week and Field Gulls writer Tyler Alsin was in attendance to take notes on what he saw from Wednesday's practice. Russell Wilson continues to look like his usual self, but was a new quarterback brought in to compete with Geno Smith for the backup job? Based on Smith's performance on Wednesday, it looks like it may be possible. Quandre Diggs impressed on Wednesday along with a player who has the potential to be a preseason crush if he continues to play in games the way he's showing up on the practice field. Tyler also previews an article that's up at fieldgulls.com that talks about PFF's latest ranking of NFL defensive lines and the Seahawks were nearly at the bottom of the list.
