SPORTS East Oregonian Page 2B Wednesday, June 7, 2017 NFL Seahawks move on without Kaepernick in the fold By TIM BOOTH Associated Press RENTON, Wash. — Doug Baldwin completely understood why the Seattle Seahawks brought Colin Kaepernick in for a visit. He also understands why Austin Davis, and not Kaepernick, was signed as the latest backup quarter- back option for the Seahawks. “I think it’s simple. It’s the business of the NFL. Right now you have a lot of young guys that are looking for opportunities,” Baldwin said Tuesday as Seattle continued its second week of OTAs. “The organizations, they’re going to be giving the younger guys the first and second look. They know what Colin can do. They know he’s a starter in this league. They’re going to give every opportunity for the young guys to compete, show their talents, and then whatever falls he’ll get his opportunities once all this dust settles.” For much of the offseason Seattle seemed the logical destination for Kaepernick — from its style of offense to the outspokenness of its locker room. But coach Pete Carroll didn’t commit to Kaepernick last week and the team signed Davis on Monday to compete with Trevone Seattle quarter- back Aus- tin Davis (6) passes during practice Tuesday, June 6, 2017, in Renton, Wash. AP Photo/Ted S. Warren Boykin to back up Russell Wilson. That left Kaepernick unem- ployed, for now. Baldwin, who was in regular communication with Kaepernick last season as the quar- terback knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality and the treatment of minorities, said he believes Kaepernick’s stance last season is likely playing a small role in his continued unemployment but it’s not the primary reason. “To some degree, but I think that’s really minor,” Baldwin said. “There are 32 teams out there. Not all of them really care about that. I have no doubt in my mind he’ll have a job here rather quickly.” Davis took part in his second Oklahoma pitcher Paige Lowary (14) fields a ground ball for the final out of the cham- pionship series in the NCAA Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Tuesday, June 6, 2017. Oklahoma won the game 5-4, and the championship. OTA with the Seahawks on Tuesday. He is in his sixth NFL season after entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Missis- sippi in 2012. Davis has appeared in 13 regu- lar-season games with the Rams and Browns, including 10 starts. He has thrown for 2,548 yards with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions and spent part of last season with Denver. “He’s a great kid. I haven’t been able to spend too much time with him but we’ll see how he does,” Baldwin said. Baldwin also addressed the relationships in Seattle’s locker room that have become highlighted this offseason. Most of that has centered on cornerback Richard Sherman after the Seahawks openly talked ahead of April’s draft about possibly trading the former All-Pro cornerback, but a suitable deal never materialized. That was followed by recent stories of a locker room divide largely driven by Sherman’s strug- gles in getting past the Super Bowl loss to New England in 2015 when Wilson was intercepted in the end zone in the final minute. Baldwin said he didn’t believe Seattle’s locker room was that different from others around the league. If there is a difference, Baldwin said, it’s the environment created by Carroll and general manager John Schneider that allows individuality. “If I’m speaking candidly, yes, do we have issues in our locker room, do we have arguments or disagree- ments? Of course. Every locker room does,” Baldwin said. “What I think makes our locker room so great is that we are transparent, we are up front with each other, we do hold each other to a high standard of accountability. Yeah, sometimes from the outside it doesn’t look healthy. But I think that’s why we’ve been successful.” OKLAHOMA: Sophia Reynoso responded with a solo shot for Florida in the second. With the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the second, Ocasio singled to knock in Justine McLean, then Kayli Kvistad walked with the bases loaded to score Amanda Lorenz and make it 3-1. Knighten’s big hit in the bottom of the second put Oklahoma up 5-3. Florida’s Chelsea Herndon came back with a solo blast in the third to cut Oklahoma’s lead to 5-4. Continued from 1B lead, she retired Florida’s Nos. 2-4 hitters in order in the seventh. Top-seeded Florida (58-10) did not allow an earned run in three games to reach the championship series, but the Sooners were able to break through against what statistically was the nation’s best pitching staff. Oklahoma’s Nicole Mendes homered on Ocasio’s third pitch of the game to give the Sooners a 1-0 lead. AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki MEYERS: Continued from 1B more offensively than I have in the past. I’ve been trying to push myself and I’m going to get in the gym with (HHS athletic director) Larry Usher this summer and push myself to be more of an offensive threat.” She won’t be the only local athlete suiting up for the Timberwolves though, as Umatilla’s do-it-all guard Aleesha Watson also signed with the program, which has Meyers excited to get started. “What excites me is there are only two returners and (Driver) has been looking at girls around here which is nice because in the past there hasn’t been many from Hermiston or Pendleton,” Meyers said. “I’m excited to play with (Watson) because I know her. The two girls returning are really good and I’m excited, maybe we’ll build a bond to bring up more girls from local teams and make it bigger and better.” What excites Meyers the most, though, is the oppor- tunity to pursue a dream and remain close to home. Her younger sister, Regan, will be a senior at Hermiston starting in the fall and Hayden wants to be there every step of the way. “I’d like to watch all of her senior nights because she got to see all of mine,” Meyers said, “so staying close to home was really important to me. We’re like best friends, so that was the big push to BMCC and not another community college.” ———— Contact Eric at esinger@ eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0839. Follow him on Twitter @ByEricSinger.
