Audio: TE Dominique Byrd on fighting for roster spot
 Dominique Byrd |
Dominique Byrd hasn't played in an NFL game since 2007, but a strong start to the preseason has increased his chances of cracking the Seahawks' roster as a backup in a crowded group of tight ends.
Byrd, the team leader in receiving yards in each of the first two preseason games, joined Bob Stelton, Dave Grosby and Dave Wyman during "The Huddle" on Thursday and discussed his maturation after his hiatus from football, his appreciation for the chance given to him by his college coach Pete Carroll, and how the team's emphasis on its running game impacts the tight ends.
He also discussed the competition among the tight ends, a group that includes free-agent acquisition Zach Miller, incumbent starter John Carlson and recent draft picks Cameron Morrah and Anthony McCoy.

Bob Stelton is the co-host of "Bob and Groz". He came to 710 ESPN Seattle from 101 ESPN in St. Louis and had previously worked for Sporting News Radio in Chicago and Santa Monica, Calif. Bob began his radio career in Seattle in 1997 after a failed attempt to become a rock star. 
Dave Grosby is the co-host of "Bob and Groz." The Groz has spent the last 21 years of his 39-year broadcast career as a Seattle sports talk show host. Dave is also the play-by-play announcer for Seattle U basketball on KTTH 770. Before coming to Seattle, Dave worked at KFI in Los Angeles and KFBK in Sacramento. He's been married to his wife Bonnie for 23 years.
After two years as the producer for "Brock and Salk," Colin Paisley now produces "Bob and Groz." Colin also hosts "Seattle Sports at Night" with Tom Wassell and Matt Pitman. Colin came to 710 ESPN Seattle after five years at various FM music stations in Bellingham and Seattle. In addition to his time as producer and host, Colin likes to spend his time embracing his "Slacker Gen-Y" persona by napping and not caring about stuff. Plus he likes tons of bands you've never heard of, and once you hear of them he'll stop liking them.
