It was rookie quarterback Russell Wilson 's turn to get extensive reps with the starting offense. He appeared in command and wasn't bashful about telling more experienced teammates where to line up. Wilson spoke to reporters afterward and again projected the qualities teams seek in a leader. He's confident, engaging and unafraid to answer questions head on. Can he play? The Seahawks will find out more during preseason.

The Seahawks are loading up rookie linebacker Bobby Wagner with play calls, same as they did for K.J. Wright last season. Wright has been expected to handle the calls this season even though Wagner projects as the middle linebacker in the base defense. That might not be the case, however. Wright smiled and shook his head when asked about continuing to handle all the calls. He's heard and read the reports suggesting that will be the case. But Wright said Wagner is making the calls. Wright said he expects Wagner to make the calls this season. The Seahawks have options, but for now at least, they want to see what Wagner can handle. Hand strength is one of Wagner's biggest assets -- and an important one for middle linebackers, who must continually operate in heavy traffic.
