This is what we have been waiting to hear, right? At least deep down, we have been hoping for a little bit of spice from the joint practices between the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans. Naturally, trash talk can only be expected when professional athletes take the field against one another, whether it is a game or practice.
But in this case, there is a little extra juice. Tennessee has recently acuired a pair of former Seahawks in Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs. Both of whom are some of the more verbal players out there. Of course, Adams and Diggs had plenty to say to their former teammates, but the Seahawks – particularly from Devon Witherspoon – didn’t refrain from chirping back at them.
Here is a compilation of tweets from those covering the practice live:
The trash talk between Devon Witherspoon and Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams has been spectacular. Nothing malicious, lot of smiles, but funny as hell. After getting a pick in 2-minute, Spoon ran down the Titans sideline to find Adams and hand him the ball.

From #Seahawks DBs to Adams, Diggs: “You better go help your offense. Y’all’s offense is ass.”
To Adams: “You ain’t even playin!” https://t.co/I4R6dyzIxi

Highlight of practice so far: Jamal Adams trading trash talk with Devon Witherspoon and a handful of ex-teammates. It was spirited and seemingly good-natured. One Seahawk told Adams he’s in for a long season. Adams: “You is too cuz San Fran gonna have that ass! You know that!”

Fortunately, this was all in good fun between the two teams. Quandre Diggs and Devon Witherspoon were both asked about it after practice, and the two of them confirmed as much.

This Seahawks team is no stranger to a little bit of “extracirricular activities” at practice, as there were multiple fights at practice last week. But against the Titans these last two days, the team has been on their best behavior… so to speak. Head coach Mike Macdonald praised his squad for keeping their composure, even amidst the trash talk.
“The guys realize, just like we said yesterday, we’re going to be evaulated by what shows up on tape,” said Macdonald after practice. “If we’re getting into fights and we’re not keeping our composure, that’s not the best for us or the team. God forbid someone got hurt during that time, which is just totally unnecessary, things you want to avoid. The guys did a great job!
