We may be nearing the end of the dog days of summer, but we are still in them. Right now, it seems the Seattle Seahawks are feeling it a bit more than usual today. Reports from the boots on the ground at practice have been saying there have been multiple skirmishes and even fights breaking out.

It is one thing to have emotions and intensity flowing at practice. It is another thing entirely for a team to start losing composure like this. Yes, the Seahawks are ultra competitive, but they are still teammates and engaging in this kind of extracirricular activity could lead to needless injuries.

Still, iron does sharpen iron, and perhaps the team will be better because of these early dust ups. If there is one "positive" to glean it is the fact these scuffles are reminding Tacoma News Tribune's Gregg Bell of a certain era of Seattle football...

Perhaps the Seahawks have a different mentality. A more competitive one, even if it means going against fellow teammates. Regardless, I can assume head coach Mike Macdonald is not thrilled with a breakdown like this. Competition is fine, but if practice keeps getting disrupted then it is not productive in the long run.

We at Seahawks Wire will continue to update if any more news comes from these skirmishes.
