Jon Gruden said after Sunday’s loss that he hadn’t heard Jay Glazer’s report on FOX that the Raiders are shopping receiver Amari Cooper along
with Karl Joseph.Gruden
Womens Customized Seattle Seahawks Jerseys , though, denied the Raiders have interest in trading Cooper.“I don’t know,” Gruden said, via Scott Bair of
NBC Sports Bay Area. “I haven’t heard that. I’m not. I’m not. I’m just sorry to
have to deal with a lot of these reports. I just hope Amari’s OK. Like I said,
he’s going to be a big part of our pass offense.”The Raiders, who entered with
the sixth-ranked passing offense in the league
www.seahawkscheapshops.com , didn’t have much of one in the loss to Seattle. They passed for only 106 yards,
with Derek Carr taking six sacks and leaving early with a bruised left
arm.Cooper left with a concussion as did receiver Seth Roberts.Cooper, a
first-round pick in 2015, had only one target before leaving.With the Raiders in
obvious rebuilding mode, it makes sense for them to become sellers before the
trade deadline at the end of the month. Going overseas to play a regular-season
game for the first time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks did as
expected for their trip to England ??looking at studies

planning was coach Pete Carroll reaching out to an old friend who became
accustomed to making the trip to London on a yearly basis.Carroll said he spoke
with former Jacksonville coach and current Los Angeles Chargers defensive
coordinator Gus Bradley extensively about how to manage the trip. Bradley made
the journey once a year for his four seasons as the Jaguars' head coach, a job
he got after four seasons as the Seahawks' defensive coordinator under
Carroll.Carroll said the message Bradley relayed was making sure the
distractions didn't become overwhelming."They had made it through the
difficulties really and they had become so familiar," Carroll said. "It was
making sure that everyone was focused and not distracted by the trip and the
event of being in a foreign country and all that kind of stuff. Just so there
was a process of normal focus going into game time, they were concerned about
that always."Seattle will practice on Wednesday at home before packing up and
heading to the airport for a roughly nine-hour flight that's scheduled to land
in London at midday Thursday. The Seahawks are leaving a day earlier than their
opponent, the Oakland Raiders, who plan to depart post-practice on Thursday from
the Bay Area.Carroll compared the situation to a bowl game like he experienced
during his time coaching at Southern California. Except instead of spending a
week in one place preparing

said. "There's a lot of different ways people have done it ??go over at the
first of the week or wait as long as they can ??and we have chosen our options
after a long study and we feel really good about what we're doing. We should be
OK. We'll be fine."Seattle started asking its players to begin altering their
sleep schedules following Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the
hopes that when they board their flight at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
on Wednesday night, they'll be ready to get a little bit of sleep on the
plane.The players will need it because once they land in London, the Seahawks
intend on holding a practice shortly after arriving. It's partly to make sure
they're staying with the normal routine of game preparation and partly to help
keep the players awake in the hope they'll get into a regular sleeping pattern
on their first night abroad."I'm gonna try to sleep. Apparently right when we
land, about an hour and a half later we have practice," wide receiver Doug
Baldwin said. "They're trying to keep us up
Seattle Seahawks Hoodie , trying to get our internal clocks ready for this game. So hopefully sleep."Sleep has been a valuable commodity in recent days for
offensive lineman J.R. Sweezy, whose wife gave birth to the couple's second
child late last week. Sweezy said he was looking forward to the chance to play
in London, but he didn't like the idea of being away from home for five
days."That's going to be rough. It's unfortunate but it's got to be done," he
said.NOTES: Carroll said LB K.J. Wright (knee) will not play in London, meaning
the earliest he'll make his season debut is Week 8 at Detroit. Wright had what
the team called minor knee surgery following Seattle's third preseason game but
now will have missed more than one-third of the season. Carroll sounded
optimistic Wright will be able to play when Seattle returns from its bye. ... DE
Rasheem Green (ankle) will also miss Sunday's game. Green has been inactive the
past two games.
