Seahawks rookie Marquise Blair draws attention in 1st game

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — When safety Marquise Blair was drafted in the second round by the Seattle Seahawks, he brought with him to the NFL the reputation as a big hitter.

That's what happens when you're ejected twice from college games for targeting.

So it shouldn't come as a surprise that one of the most notable moments from Seattle's preseason opener centered on Blair and riding that fine line between what's a legal hit and what will draw a flag in the NFL.

"I've been working on it since I left Utah, I've been working on moving my shoulder," Blair said.
