RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Mike Macdonald bounced around. A little time with the defensive linemen. A time little with the linebackers. A time little with the offense.

It was his decision to be an observer on the first day of the Seattle Seahawks’ rookie minicamp and his first somewhat full practice as an NFL head coach.

“(Defensive coordinator Aden Durdee) was calling the plays on defense because I was like, ‘I think I need to figure out how to run a practice first,’” Macdonald said with a chuckle. “It was fun. There are definitely things that you are taking notes on, what you want to fix and things we felt like we could have done a little bit better job of. But overall, great effort. Coaches were into it. A lot of enthusiasm. So a good first start.”

While the Seahawks started their offseason program with veterans a few weeks ago, there were limits on the amount of on-field action. So Friday was the first true practice Macdonald has run since becoming the youngest head coach in the NFL when he was hired as Pete Carroll’s replacement.
