Clare Farnsworth at the Seattle PI seems to agree with my musings about all things Logan Payne, if yesterday's minicamp was any indication.
"With leading receiver Bobby Engram still a no-show in hopes of getting a contract extension and starting flanker Deion Branch still recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, the Seahawks passing game is in the hands of Nate Burleson and a foursome that has become known as "the young guys" -- Payne and recent late-round draft choices Ben Obomanu (2006) and Courtney Taylor and Jordan Kent (2007)."
It seems official now - two of "the young guys" (a name that sounds like a Backstreet Boys cover band, but forget about it) will need to step up and produce in the regular season. The coaching staff has begun to constantly shift the rotation from split end, flanker and slot. Offensive coordinator Gil Haskell says incredible progress has been made already.
As for me, I feel the anticipation in the air. I can also feel how intense the pressure must be on the young guys, but that's all part of it.
