RENTON, Wash. -- Will Blackmon has seen the bulk of the reps at nickelback with the Seattle Seahawks' first-team defense this offseason, but coach Pete Carroll isn't quite ready to anoint him the starter.

Carroll said Saturday that the competition is still on between the veteran Blackmon, Marcus Burley and rookie Tye Smith.
