Seahawks rookie Shaquem Griffin started at weakside linebacker and played 41 of 74 snaps. Austin Calitro played 33.But Seahawks coach Pete Carroll suggested Tuesday that Calitro could see more time this week as starter K.J. Wright remains out with a knee issue. “Austin did pretty well and Griff Bobby Massie Jersey , he had some problems on some stuff,” Carroll said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN. “There were some things that happened to him that wasn’t quite as clean as we would have liked. He got fooled on a couple things, but he played hard, and he played tough and all of that. It’s just [his] first game, trying to figure it out. Even through preseason, he’s had a lot of reps, but stuff happened to him for the first time in this game that hadn’t happened before, and he didn’t always see it the way he needed to.“It’s a difficult transition that he’s making. It’s a lot to do in a short amount of time. They had a nice offense; they did some nice stuff https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Adrian-Amos-Jersey , and he wasn’t quite where he wanted to be at times. So we’ll just keep going. We’ll find out during the week how the guys play and how they do and how practice goes, and we’ll see what we’re going to do about play time.” Zach Miller doesn’t need to play again to claim success. His left leg saved, the Bears tight end is good with whatever life brings him.“I don’t need to go back on the field just to climb that mountain,” Miller said, via Simon Kaufman of the team website. “I can climb this mountain without that having to be the end goal. That’s just what I want to do. I love the game of football. I want to continue to play. If I can’t, I’ve got to accept that.”One year ago yesterday, Miller nearly lost his leg. He needed emergency surgery after being injured in a game against the Saints, dislocating his left knee and tearing his popliteal artery, which cut off most of his blood supply below his knee. “Last thing I said was just Jordan Howard Color Rush Jersey , ‘Doc, don’t cut my leg off,'” Miller said to the surgeon just before a seven-hour surgery.Miller required eight more surgeries after that. The Bears signed Miller to a one-year minimum deal in June. They placed him on the physically unable to perform list the next day. It allows Miller to be part of the team and use the facility and staff for his rehab. Miller also cuts up tape, helps with the game plan and works with the tight ends as a player-coach of sorts.“Most of these situations, they don’t really end the way that they are for me,” Miller said. “It’s an extraordinary situation where the loyalty that the franchise has to me has been unbelievable, and that was for sure an emotional meeting for me just because I felt very grateful and thankful for what they’ve done for me and continue to do for me.”
