We’re nonetheless working laborious to decipher what coach means when he says “day-to-day”, however at the moment, it appears much less worrisome than when Pete Carroll would say “legit.” Hoping to have each George Fant and Kenneth Walker III out there for this Sunday’s outing towards the New England Patriots.
