The Seahawks have just the afternoon practice today. I’ll file a camp report afterward. I’ll be answering questions that continue to pile up in the comments sections for an upcoming post, so if you have questions or concerns about the team fire away in the comments section below and I’ll get to them.

Yahoo Sports’ Michael Silver attended Seattle Seahawks practice the last two days and offers this assessment of Jim Mora’s first training camp as the head man in Seattle.

Camp Mora, predictably, has been up-tempo and high energy, a welcome jolt for a group that had grown used to Holmgren’s detached leadership style. Mora walks around with a whistle that he isn’t shy about using and, when displeased by a player’s technique or missed assignment, barks out the requisite corrections. Though the man doesn’t drink caffeine, a Starbucks endorsement seems inevitable.

“There’s never a dull moment, on or off the field,” middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu(notes) says. “You’ve got a head coach breathing down your neck – ‘Snap your hips – that’s not good enough!’ – and you can tell he loves every minute of it. It’s been a good change. It was a shock when they announced a new head coach before it was actually in place for him to take over, but I think they chose the right man for the job.”

Mora swears there’s nowhere else he’d rather be – including across town at the University of Washington. He winces at the question, and for good reason: Mora’s potential return to his alma mater is a sensitive subject that has directly impacted his career arc.

Silver also talked with KJR’s Mike Gastineau about the Seahawks in this audio link.

“If Curry signs,” the agent said, “this deal is going to get done fast.”

San Francisco 49ers

John Crumpacker of the San Francisco Chronicle says running back Frank Gore is working hard during the first days of camp, but the 49ers coaches are still monitoring his reps to make sure he has fresh legs once the season begins.

Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat says in this training camp report that the 49ers passing game is far ahead of where it was a year ago.

From Dan Brown of the San Jose Mercury News: This is probably something you don’t want to hear from San Francisco offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye if you’re Michael Crabtree: “I don’t know any more about Michael Crabtree now than I did when we drafted him,” Raye said. “I think you all are probably a little more concerned about him not being here than we are.”
