Seahawks LB Derick Hall Says He and Teammates Have Made up After Fight Shown on HBO's ‘Hard Knocks’
Derick Hall said the Seahawks have moved on after the practice fight that saw him chokehold and body-slam Bryce Cabeldue on the first episode.
The Seattle Seahawks' debut on HBO's Hard Knocks featured a heated training camp skirmish last Friday when linebacker Derick Hall put offensive lineman Bryce Cabeldue into a chokehold and body-slammed him during practice.
Fighting escalated when Cabeldue and linebacker Tyrice Knight shoved one another, prompting Hall to intervene forcefully. Head coach Mike Macdonald responded angrily, citing the disruption as a drain on valuable practice time.
Defensive coordinator Aden Durde revealed fullback Brady Russell egged Hall on, suggesting Hall changed after signing a $42 million, three-year contract extension. Hall also accidentally drove his truck over an HBO camera, smashing it.
Hall apologized to teammates, stating "Hey man, I apologize, that was beyond the line of where we're trying to go." Macdonald praised players for remaining authentic despite constant camera presence throughout camp.
The Seahawks prepare for a stadium practice at Lumen Field on August 8 as training camp intensifies. Macdonald emphasized pride in how his players handled themselves throughout the filming process despite the incident.
