The Seahawks opened practice today with Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” playing on the speakers. Franklin may have been of a much different generation than all of the current Seattle players, but understanding of importance does not go without notice.
Russell Wilson, according to John Boyle of Seahawks.com, said his family would often play Franklin’s music. And this is a year when Seattle is probably getting a bit more disrespected than in previous seasons. The Seahawks lost a lot of talent this offseason, but have a bunch of young talent possibly ready to step forward.
Just the way coach Pete Carroll likes and wants it.
