Until the pads come on nothing what you read about during the offseason actually matters. Today, the Seattle Seahawks finally got down to busine s and started practicing something that resembles what they'll be playing when the real games begin in September.Here are five takeaways from the team and the beat reporters who were on-site at the VMAC.1. WR Tyler Lockett says defense wins Round 1Seattle's offense has plenty of talent to go around, but today it was the defensive unit that got the better of them, according to an account by wide receiver Tyler Lockett.First day in pads was a strong day for the defense. Offense Joe Jimenez Jersey had some good plays, but as Tyler Lockett put it, the defense got after us a little bit today. John Boyle (@johnpboyle) Head coach Mike Macdonald is credited with Leonys Martin Jersey being the top defensive playcaller in the game today, so it will be interesting to see if this theme continues throughout the season.2. Another INT for DB Julian LoveNobody's had a better week than safety Julian Love, who signed a three-year a few days ago. Since then he's posted two interceptions against Geno Smith. Today's pick apparently came with some walk-out music, per The Athletic.Julian Love just picked off Geno Smith and Wipe Me Down started playing immediately when he caught the ball, which has to be the coolest feeling in the world for a defensive back Dugar, Michael-Shawn (@MikeDugar) 3. LT Charles Cro s impre ses in 1-on-1sAs for the line of scrimmage, left tackle Charles Cro s finally delivered on some of the improvement we've been hearing about at practice. ESPN reports Cro s was the best performer on either side during one-on-one pa s rush drills.Charles Cro s was the best player on either side of the one-on-one pa s-rush drill. He had a strong win over Uchenna Nwosu, Seattle's top edge player. Rookie OT Mike Jerrell also fared well. Darrell Taylor had one of the best reps -- a nice spin move Jordy Mercer Jersey to beat McClendon Curtis. Brady Henderson (@BradyHenderson) 4. A minor scuffleAt this time of year it's completely normal to hear reports of brief skirmishes breaking out at training camp practices acro s the league. Today it was Seattle's turn, as wide receiver DK Metcalf and cornerback Riq Woolen briefly got into it. There is sadly no video of the fight.A decisive win for the defense today, which included another Julian Love INT of Geno Smith. But the offense had the play of the day and of camp so far when Jake Bobo made an unbelievable diving catch. With pads on, things got chippy; DK Metcalf and Riq Woolen briefly scuffled Brady Henderson (@BradyHenderson) 5. More BoboWhile the defense won the war, the most impre sive play of the day came from the offense. The team Josh Harrison Jersey 's number four wide receiver Jake Bobo apparently made a diving catch for a touchdown on a pa s from Sam Howell.Practice over. Really good day for defense including Julian Love pick of Geno Smith pa s intended for DK Metcalf. Jake Bobo with offensive play of day with diving TD grab of Sam Howell pa s Denny Mclain Jersey . More to come. Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) There's no video of Bobo's catch available as of yet but we imagine the team will be sharing one soon.You may have noticed that today's practice was a little bit earlier than usual. It was intended to get the team used to those early east coast kickoffs, of which there are three on the schedule this season. The Seahawks return to the practice field tomorrow at their regular time, 1:00 p.m. Pacific.More Seahawks stories
