I think part of it is business is business for certain guys and everything else. I don’t want to get into the details of his situation necessarily. I do miss my brother. He’s a Hall of Fame safety who has a crazy special talent that you can only find once every blue moon. You miss him out here and I know he’s training like crazy though. Hopefully he’ll come back tomorrow, hopefully he’ll come back down the road, hopefully he’ll come back someday soon. But I know when he does come back, Earl if you’re listening now, it’d be great if you could come back because he can help us win a big one. He’s just a tremendous player. But at the end of the day, he’s got his family and his decisions and whatever he chooses is his decision. I think that he’s a tremendous player and hopefully he can come back for us. The good thing is that guys have stepped up in a big way. Guys have taken on the challenge and they’re getting that experience and really stepping into a major role. It’s an important position, you got to have that position. Guys like Tedric (Thompson) are stepping up. Bradley McDougald is stepping up in that position too playing everywhere. You want as many great players as you can have and Earl (Thomas) is a great player, he’s a one of a kind talent. Hopefully he’ll come back and it’ll be great.” IT FEELS LIKE 2012 ALL OVER AGAIN. Most Read Sports Stories • • • • • While the team’s significant roster overhaul has lowered expectations for the Seahawks entering 2018, Wilson — as might be expected — thinks Seattle can surprise people and compared it to 2012, when he was a rookie and the team was coming off a 7-9 record. “Every year feels like a new beginning, it’s exciting. I was telling somebody yesterday, I can’t remember who it was, this year kind of feels like my rookie year. Way more experience obviously, but the feeling of it all is just different for whatever reason. A lot of new faces and everything else. The outside world doesn’t really know what we are hoping to do and what we are working for. I don’t think anybody had really crazy high of expectations for my rookie year too. A lot of that feels the same. It’s exciting to be out here with a lot of the same guys though too, you know. Guys like Doug Baldwin, he’s a freak of nature out there on the field. Tyler Lockett as well. So many different guys. The running backs looked great, they looked healthy, fast, and strong. The line looks really good. Duane Brown is a difference maker, I think, in terms of how he plays the game. He’s a phenomenal football player. We didn’t have him last year early on in the season but now that he’s here it just shows up. So many other guys, I mean the guys up front are looking really good. I think our coaching staff looks great in terms of how they stepped in and had to take in a really, really, really good football team in the past and continue to help us improve and try to figure out what we can do and challenge us and everything else. So, I’m excited, it’s an exciting time. I love being out here with the fans obviously just to see the roar of all the fans every time you come out here. I wish they could be at every practice and every game you know obviously. It’s always just fun being out here.” WORKING ON FOOTWORK Asked what he’s working on this camp, Wilson said the main thing is his footwork, while humorously acknowledging that that’s basically what he says every year at this time. “I don’t mean to be boring but I always say this. I think it’s always just the footwork stuff. I’ve always had good footwork and stuff like that. If I can find three plays a game, how much more would that do. Can I find four plays a game, five plays a game? Two Guys Who Golf MichiganCan I find hopefully just one. That little detailed meticulous focus is everything to me. It’s like a great free throw shooter, if you’re trying to be a great free throw shooter you got to keep your elbow in. You got to focus on the details, you got to have the same rhythm. All that is crucial. Same thing with a great hitters or golfers. For me, I’m always looking for more, I’m always looking for the fine details in everything. Still being natural, still being who I am, still being competitive and not overthinking. The one thing I don’t want to do is overthink. You don’t want to overthink when you’re hitting a golf ball you don’t want to overthink when you’re trying to pitch a fastball or whatever, you want to play ball. ![]() How you get rid of the thinking is how you train and how every play getting coached when you go in the game. Let it happen and just trust and when you go back and look at the tape and hopefully all of them have been great. That’s just kind of my thought, it’s been great. I think Coach (Brian) Schottenheimer (the team’s new offensive coordinator) has been tremendous so far. I love his enthusiasm and his dedication to the game. The way he translates and communicates, he’s heavily involved in every detail. (New offensive line) coach (Mike) Solari is tremendous as well, those two guys have been great. It’s going to be a great joyride and I’m looking forward to the journey of it all.” PETE CARROLL’S MESSAGE IS ANYTHING BUT STALE Wilson was asked about a comment made by Michael Bennett — which echoed a comment of Richard Sherman’s — that the message of coaches can wear out after a few years. Bennett famously said he’d heard all of Carroll’s stories enough that he took a book to read to one meeting. Wilson, though, defended Carroll when asked if a coach’s message can grow stale over time. Some people may call it staleness, I call it consistency. In the past, we’ve had some amazing joyrides. We’ve done a lot of amazing things, we’ve had a couple tough moments. At the end of the day, what I do know about all the teams I’ve been fortunate enough to play with and all the guys I’ve been fortunate enough to play with is every single one of those guys laid it on the line. From guys like Michael Bennett, to Kam Chancellor, to Richard Sherman, to guys who didn’t play very much, to guys who were only here for a day. The one thing I can say is every single person to every single coach gave it everything we’ve had. That’s the thing that I love about my experience so far for the Seattle Seahawks, is that I can say that literally every game that I can say nobody has ever given in, given up or doubted that we can win. Hopefully that never changes.” MEETING CHILDREN IN SOUTH AFRICA WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF HIS BUSY SUMMER. Wilson took trips to England (to check out where the Seahawks will play the Raiders in London in October), China, and South Africa during his summer break. The latter, he said, was a somewhat belated honeymoon saying that when he an entertainer Ciara were married in 2016 they didn’t take a trip longer than four days.
