Love having Graham in red zone(Even though we ignore him) . Another year of Russel running for his life, good thing he got in shape. Tough year for Ifedi, punched in face by own teammate, then tears up knee by his own teammate! Seahawks will be keeping eye out for cuts coming up soon!trade graham for a LT? the season could seriously be in peril if we have a revolving door at LT.
That's the difference between dropping back and being able to have time to find a receiver vs. dropping back and having to find an escape route.He's looking really good. Getting the throws out quickly and on target.
What makes you conclude they drafted him to play C? He played all over the line in college, not just center, and now with Britt getting extended it's pretty clear that Pocic's future is at another position, barring injury to Britt. They've played him at multiple positions so far in camp as well.Looks like Odhiambo at tackle now? Thought they might try slipping Pocic in there since he...you know.....played tackle in college. Still not completely sure why they drafted him as a center.
Worse. Torn acl, done for the year.
May be a bit harsh on Britt. It looked to me like he tumbled over the defender and into Fant moreso than diving right into him.@#!$%^! I was hoping I was wrong... You could tell though when he went down it wasn't good, those big guy's carry so much weight when they go down wrong usually it's bad... I"m not happy with Britt right now, he's turned out to be a good center, but he better review this tape and never repeat diving behind your teammates legs, those big guy's are blind when they're backing up like that ....

You know Britt feels down right awful right now but when you watch the play he did not DIVE, he was going down low on a guy who falls to the ground and Britt trips over him. Shit happens and you can't be pointing a finger at one of the big ugly's just because you are upset. To be honest i thought the Oline played better in the first game when Fant wasn't on the field. He looked to be much improved over last year but still looked like a 2nd year player. Ifedi looks down right BAD at RT and they need to give up on that failed project and move him back to guard, he is to heavy footed. Like he has cinder blocks on for shoes.
When Ifedi was drafted i always saw him as a Guard not a Tackle, in college Guard was his best position but he was pretty much forced to play Tackle because of the lack of talent around him really.
Lack of investment? The only thing you can ding them on in that regard is the absence of 2nd contracts. They have dumped plenty of draft capital into the OL over the years. Assuming Odhiambo (drafted last year in the 3rd round) is the fill in for Fant, you now have a 3rd rounder, 1st rounder (by Jax), 2nd rounder, 4th rounder, and 1st rounder as the starting 5 from left to right. Free agent signing Aboushi and 2nd rounder Pocic appear to be the primary backups. The team has also lost 3 starters to free agency the last couple years, with 2 of them being 1st round picks (Okung and Carpenter). The line hasn't been good in recent years for sure, but I don't buy "lack of investment." I also have a tough time believing that the loss of Fant -- an UDFA with 1 year OL experience total at any level -- dooms this line. It's certainly not a positive to lose a starter, but it's not like we just lost Walter Jones here.Once again, Seattle's lack of investment in O-line is going to be a thorn in the side of this team. I fear this season is going to just be like last year where the lack of a decent line prevents the offense from being productive.
YThey say the talent level is not as good now coming out of college but there are teams out there that have no issue finding talented Olineman in the later rounds.
