Seahawks fans concerned about their OL

[Snake]

They looked awful against Detroit. The Graham trade is looking more and more like a loss for the Seahawks. Simply because their oline is poor while they're paying a TE $10 million a year and trying to make him do things he's not good at. 

Yea and NO seems to have got one of there best lineman. We all knew Graham was soft so it's no surprise he has been a let down.

Their right guard is temporary--he won a contest by creating a jingle about how much he would like to protect Russell Wilson for a month.  It was sponsored by a condom company.

Their o line will rival our poo fest last year at seasons end.

I was wondering when the "yea, but" crowd was going to show up and explain again how we are not really that good.  And.....there you are.

hmmmmm?

take a look at our d-line from the previous games. they really haven't been good, aside from delaire in the bucs game. star is getting abused, but ill let that slide considering the saints game was his first action since the playoffs last year. also this isn't a "we're going 0-16" PU panic attack, this is poo that's observable from the games.

Need delaire to step up again and jarred allen to play like jarred allen

Ugh, it's the time of year to browse their forum already?  Those colors give me a migraine. 

That's why I just wait for highlights to be posted here.

 

Besides, last time I went there Hawk followed me home.

They're just trying to shove a square peg in a round hole. Stop trying to make him block. He just doesn't want to do it. Since they're trying to make him, they can't run his way and if they do, the runs aren't nearly as effective. Just split him out wide and let him catch the ball.

I'm starting to get excited about playing these guys.  Although what you are about to read below is going to sound very familiar to Huddlers.

Given the weakness of our O line, is it more important to bring (LT) Okung back after this year? I'd felt like he won't be worth the money Im sure another team might offer him. However, watching this O line, and seeing the shortage of O lineman in the league these days, we might have to make sure he's back.

 

 

As of right now? Vitally. He's about the only one who's playing halfways decent somewhat consistently. He's also a known commodity, and God help us if we leave the LT spot open for Cable and JS to fill.

 

I've been pretty loud about how poor Okung has played over the last year or so, I think he had one good year and then fell off a ton, probably because he has fat toes. 

He gets beat so much in 1 on 1's.

He won't be worth what anyone is willing to give him, and so I think he's gone.

 

 

Who replaces him if not?

There is a league-wide shortage of competent OL talent. You can either face that reality and pony up or continue relying on Cable to pick projects based on their high school wrestling record and their marital status. 

The Jets may have overspent on a couple of our "average" linemen, but that unit is sure playing a heck of lot better than ours is. I really doubt they regret their decisions.

 

 

 

I think you're going to be shocked at what another team is willing to pay him. There's a ton of worse LT's in the league. 

That said, there are a couple of much better LT's that singed for 7 mil/year last year. We can afford him at that price.

Yea what they didn't know was tthey got a WR not a TE.

Lynch is out today. Expected to be back to play us. Looks like we get beast mode ladies and gentlemen. Love it. Bring it.

Our team clearly has the confidence this year.  We're just bringing it and Seattle is a confused bunch.  DESTROY
