The Cardinals were penalized 10 times last week, and eliminating silly ones has been a topic of conversation this week.
What the Cardinals don't want, said defensive end Darnell Dockett, is to be less aggressive.
"We just have to be smart," Dockett said. "I always emphasize to my team, 'Don't never be a punk. If somebody do something to you, you do something back.' If you just continue to let them do it, then you're going to have a long day.
"We're not going to let nobody just push us in the helmet, push in the back, step on our hands and do crazy stuff. You have to respond sometimes but also you got to be smart about it."
Returning to practice
Inside linebacker Daryl Washington increased his workload Thursday, providing a bit of optimism that he will be able to play Sunday.
Washington, a starter, missed last week's game with a calf strain. Thursday was the first time he practiced since suffering the injury in the first game, on Sept. 11.
Washington is in only his second season, but coach Ken Whisenhunt said indications are Washington could play without much practice.
"We'll hopefully get an opportunity to see a little bit more (Friday)," Whisenhunt said. "I would think that ... the way he's studied, the way he's done in preseason without making a lot of mistakes that he could go in there and certainly play well."
Depth-chart move
The Seahawks have demoted outside linebacker Aaron Curry to second team, according to the Tacoma News Tribune.
The fourth overall pick in the 2008 draft, Curry has been a disappointment for most of his career. K.J. Wright, a second-round pick, will start against the Cardinals.
