RENTON, Wash. (AP) -T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Matt Hasselbeck and Lawyer Milloy have 34 seasons of NFL experience combined. Yet they have never experienced getting a day off just five days into a training camp.
That’s what new Seattle coach Pete Carroll gave his team on Wednesday. No practice. No meetings.
No, really.
They get another day off early next week.
Carroll is also resting veterans on a rotating basis each day.
A grinning Houshmandzadeh thinks this already is the best camp he’s ever been in.
Milloy was with Carroll the last time he was in NFL, with the Patriots from 1997-99. He said Carroll never did this in New England – but that it’s an example of how the coach has learned how to treat pros this time around.
