Frye enjoys rare chance

KIRKLAND, Wash. – Charlie Frye found a number of pluses to being out there with the Seattle Seahawks’ No. 1 unit, no longer having to direct everything with the reserves.

“It’s kind of fun. When you’re in there with the second group you sometimes have to be more of a director – making the line calls sometimes, making sure everyone is on the same page,” Frye said Tuesday. “With the guys who have been there before, they kind of do it for you.”

The third-string quarterback was working with Seattle’s offensive starters on Tuesday, perhaps a sign of increased playing time this week when Seattle hosts Chicago in its second preseason game. Matt Hasselbeck slightly injured his back against Minnesota last Friday, giving the opportunity for Frye to work with the offensive starters, and in some situations against the defensive starters.

“It’s great work for me,” Frye said. “The holes are smaller and you have to be very accurate going against the first team (defense).”

Frye hasn’t seen much of the field since his trade from Cleveland to Seattle after he started the regular-season opener for the Browns a year ago.
