RENTON, Wash. (AP) \u2014 The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are being featured on the HBO series \u201cHard Knocks\u201d for the first time in franchise history, and it didn\u2019t take long for some someone to stir the pot.<\/p>\n
Last Friday, Seahawks linebacker Derick Hall put offensive lineman Bryce Cabeldue into a chokehold and body-slammed him during a fight in practice that was shown on the first episode, which debuted Tuesday night. Cabeldue and linebacker Tyrice Knight shoved one another before Hall brought Cabeldue to the ground.<\/p>\n
Following Wednesday\u2019s practice, Hall acknowledged that things got out of control, but he said he and his teammates have since made up.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, we all love each other,\u201d Hall said. \u201cWe\u2019re a team. We are a brotherhood. At the end of the day, it happened out here. We go in the locker room, you know, \u2018Hey man, I apologize, that was beyond the line of where we\u2019re trying to go, where we trying to get.\u2019 And we move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the episode, defensive coordinator Aden Durde revealed to coach Mike Macdonald that fullback and special teams captain Brady Russell had egged Hall on. According to Durde, Russell said Hall, who signed a $42 million, three-year contract extension in June, had changed because of his new deal.<\/p>\n
When asked if the players involved in the fight have smoothed over the situation, Macdonald said they had.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, the guys have been great,\u201d Macdonald said Wednesday. \u201cThe guys have been awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Macdonald said he is proud of his team for the way it has handled itself and was presented in the episode of the long-running docuseries, barring a \u201ccouple of fun exceptions.\u201d Hall agreed with the coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it shows who we are as a unit, as a team, right?\u201d Hall said. \u201cThings happen out here on the football field, obviously, as you saw in the episode.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hall was also featured off the field. He arrived for the Seahawks\u2019 first day of training camp in a souped-up truck that he modified himself. The 6-foot-3, 254-pounder drove his truck over an HBO camera, smashing it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ran (it) over and they were like, \u2018D-Hall, did you feel something when you rolled in?\u2019\u201d Hall said. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018No.\u2019 And then they showed me the camera and it was just smashed. So, I was like, \u2018Dang, I apologize.\u2019 I know it\u2019s unique, it\u2019s authentic, but I did smash the camera.\u201d<\/p>\n
Much like that incident, Hall is moving on from the fight. Even though he was captured during a tough moment, he has enjoyed being part of the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love it. I love it,\u201d Hall said. \u201cI think that\u2019s a big piece of what they\u2019re trying to do. Again, it just shows who we are as a team. What guys do outside of football. A lot of people see us in this limelight as professional athletes, and what we do on the field, and these media sessions, different things like that. So, I think it\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
