The Seahawks conducted their annual Football Fest event on Saturday, which doubled as a mock game and 10th training camp practice at the team's home stadium.
The coaching staff also communicated via headsets to begin working out the in-game kinks ahead of the team’s first preseason game on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, Aug. 10.
The game operation side was a major focus, Macdonald said. He wanted the players and coaches to get a feel for what it would be like on Sundays, which can’t be accomplished by only practicing at the VMAC. Seeing the players in a different atmosphere, with far more fans present, was also something Macdonald and the coaching staff were evaluating.
The next test for coach communication will be in Los Angeles, Macdonald said, and they will continue to see what needs to be tweaked from there. With an entirely new staff and a batch of all first-time NFL coordinators, it’s natural for there to be hiccups in the process. Macdonald is also learning how to be a head coach on the sidelines for the first time.
