In need of 5 big fat guys who only need to get in someones way and possibly slow them down.
I believe if we could get a solid RT and LT our OL will be in good shape... Too many mistakes that a young group of interior guys are trying to compensate for at the tackle positions...Fant was absolutely dreadful yesterday as well as Gilliam...
The recent lockerroom blowup he had with some of the defensive players plus his big numbers for 2017 may make it tough for Denver to keep him around. I would welcome him back, though he's probably going to bring his durability issues with him. Lots of complaints about his false starts as well when he was here.Looking back I wish we would a kept Okung... I hated seeing him walk for so cheap ...

But he wasn't going to sign HERE for that cheap.
Then why didn't it happen ? He's not elite but he still locks it down good enough ... Having him at LT right now would be a good thing...
And no on Okung coming back. What about his play in Denver suggests he's an impact guy anymore?
You lost me. He was NOT going to sign in Seattle for a cheap deal. He'd put in his time, he was a vet, and he expected to be paid like it by the Hawks.
He played for Denver on a prove it deal that he negotiated himself.
He wasn't going to sign in Seattle for that money.
In a Q & A session on twitter, someone asked Big Walt if he had any interest in being the OL coach if asked. Naturally he said yes. I would love too see it since he would bring his wisdom and technique and show these guys a thing or two. If Cable is still here, I still wouldn't mind if they asked Big Walt to be an assistant and help coach these guys up.
Interesting idea, but let me throw this out there. ELITE athletes sometimes make terrible coaches.
Wayne Gretzky comes to mind.
Because they're great they have trouble communicating to players how to do stuff that came easily to them. Conversely some of the worst players make the best coaches, because they had to do all the little things in order to even get to play.
Having said that, I have NO idea whether Walt would make a good coach or not.
How's he feel about not having a life, and living at the complex 24/7 9 months out of the year?
