A tweet (shown below) from Oakland Raiders’ coach Jack Del Rio Monday afternoon undoubtedly sparked a tinge of nostalgia in Seahawks’ fans.
In the clip, Marshawn Lynch runs through the middle of an open hole and then unleashes a few moves reminiscent of some of his best runs with the Seahawks before diving into the end zone.
It’s fun to look at but comes with about a million caveats.
Foremost, players are not wearing pads and no contact is allowed in OTAs (Organized Team Activities) as the Seahawks learned last year when they got penalized when a receiver and defensive back (neither of whom was on the team’s active roster last season) ran into each other going for a pass and bumped heads.
