About what they did at practice yesterday, Mac said:
"We got a good practice in and 2 minute drill, had 3rd down drills, lot of teamwork type things." (KGMB)
About how he's coaching at his old high school in Seattle and waiting for a pro job, Adam Leonard said:
"I got hurt the second day of minicamp with the Seahawks. I pulled my hamstring. I'm working until I'm 100%" (KGMB)
About how their injuries have already forced many of their young players to play, Mac said:
"We had a bunch of rookies in the first place, we're a little nicked up. We have a lot of tough guys, so we'll be fine." (KGMB)
About their practice yesterday, Paipai Falemalu said:
"We're here for football and business. We're not here to goof off." (HA)
Happy to be practicing where it is cooler, Greg Alexander said:
"It feels good to be back on the Mainland. "It feels good to go more than 10 steps without sweating. It's nice and cool." (HA)
About how Seattle has perfect football weather, R.J. Kiesel-Kauhane said:
"It's a little different than home. You sweat, but you cool down fast. It's perfect weather for football." (HA)
About the cooler Seattle temperature, Kealoha Pilares said:
"It's refreshing. It's like outside air conditioning." (HA)
HA Note: "McMackin said Jake Heun and Falemalu will share the left end's job. Heun will be used in the base (4-3 alignment) and 45 schemes (4-2-5). Falemalu will play in the Okie defense (3-3-5)."
About either LB or DE, Paipai said:
"I'll do anything to get on the field and help my team." (HA)
About how it was feared that he wouldn't be able to play anymore after the herniated disk injury that forced him to miss last season, Heun said:
"There was a doctor who didn't think I would play again. I went with two other doctors to get cleared. It wasn't anything I really wanted to think about." (HA)
About being moved from MLB to DE this past Monday, Heun said:
"The accelerated program." (HA)
About how going against RT Laupepa Letuli has helped prepare him, Heun said:
"Pepa gives you a great look. He's a great pass-setter. He's big, and he's physical. He won't let you get in. He'll lock up on you." (HA)
About going from a backup MLB to a starting DE, Heun said:
"The whole thing has been kind of funny. I went from maybe not being able to play again to going out there at Qwest. It's been 19 months since I started a football game." (HA)
HA Note: "Kiesel-Kauhane, a converted outside linebacker, takes over at middle linebacker. Mana Lolotai started there last week as the successor to Brashton Satele, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery two weeks ago."
About how Tank Hopkins (who was out with an injured hip flexor) will start at left CB, with Lametrius Davis and Lewis Walker closely competing for that spot, Rich Miano said:
"It's been a close battle among those three all summer. You don't lose a job because of an injury, so to speak. It was one of those deals where they all had nicks and bruises and owies. Lametrius was kind of the last man standing. That's why he started last week. Lametrius is a good player. They're all so equal that Tank deserves his opportunity. They're all going to play." (HA)
Happy to be able to play again, Hopkins said:
"I hated getting hurt. I hated missing practice. I'm glad I'm able to play." (HA)
About how several UH coaches and he will visit Seattle area high schools and attend games this weekend, Mac said:
"There's a lot of talent (here)." (HA)
HA Note: "Tormey said UH expects to contact 10 to 12 schools and send 3 to 4 coaches out during the Seattle stopover."
About how there are 2,200 Washington State alumni currently living in Hawaii, WSU alumni center opeations director Mark Wilcomb said:
"It is a smaller (group) but very, very active." (HA)
HSB Note: "Depending on what formation the Warriors begin with, junior Jake Heun or freshman Paipai Falemalu could make his first career start tomorrow. Heun is the Warriors' starting left defensive end in the regular four-man front. Falemalu is first up in the package calling for three linemen."
About how he moved from LB to DE before Tuesday's practice, Jake Heun said:
"I worked with Coach (Dave) Aranda and got the hang of most of it. I'm looking forward to it, going one-on-one with the guy and seeing what happens." (HSB)
About how he was nervous at the start of the Central Arkansas game, Liko Satele said:
"I was falling all over the place, running into my own teammates. But after a while the older guys just calmed me down and they had my back, so that helped me out. It gave me a lot more confidence to know (the coaches) have confidence in me." (HSB)
HSB Note: "Elliott Purcell, last week's starter at left defensive end, suited up for practice yesterday, but has been limited by a bruised thigh. John Fonoti made the trip but hasn't practiced since injuring his knee last week."
