I don't really know or care. Obviously even then there was lack of faith in the OL and counting on Lynch to break a tackle from 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage was to risky. Water under the bridge now in any case.


Looks like I got a bite!!!!!
I'm sure you're happy buddy.....

I will tell you the way I remember it.
Carp was a 1st round pick. He showed up fat and out of shape. He played "ok" for us. When his contract was up, we all knew he wanted a raise but he really didn't play up to his draft status. I don't think any Seahawk fan demanded to resign him as our line was in better shape back then and felt we could replace him. In retrospect, he would have helped our cause.
Giac was a FA when we got him. He played well but was penalty prone getting flags for stupid plays. He was reliable and somewhat stout. We felt it was time for him to play elsewhere. After all, our Ol back then was better (cough cough) and we felt like he could be replaced (cough cough cough).

When I say "we", I am referencing Seahawk fans I commiserate with, many on this board.

Unger was outstanding, a 2nd? rounder out of Oregon. His last year here though, he started getting injured. It looked like he was going to become injury prone.
Everyone said the Hawks should be given the Lombardi, now that we have Graham. Looking back, it would have been better not to make that trade but I was a GO when it happened.

FWIW, you forgot about Okung...
see above.

Almost all of the replacements have been swings and misses. Bad run of luck right there.

My thoughts on this is this. Carp had a inner fat boy ( kind of like Lacy) who would arrive 50 LBs. over weight to camp then get a assortment of injuries, then finally playing decent when the season was all but done. Only year he arrived close to being in shape was his contract year. Nobody trusted him to do that again after he got his money.
Gio was just a average over achiever who got by with some over aggressive ( aka dirty ) play. Unger had injuries two years running and missed a bunch of games it was worrisome and getting a player like Graham seemed like a great move.

I know most Hawk fans won't agree with this but, all of their issues start at the top. JS and PC need to shoulder a lot of the blame.

Are you disagreeing?
Well yeah.:rolleyes2: Not claiming no mistakes were made from the top, but most definitely they were not the problem and that's is about as much as I willing to debate your post.

That game hurt like no other. As for the future I’m excited. Really more fun watching your team grow and become good then watching a team try to maintain success with a aging roster. Course success needs to follow the rebuild, but I’m feeling good that it will.

Seahawks need to actually address drafting or chasing down true offensive lineman. Pay half as much attention to the offensive line as they do the D and it will work itself out.

And oh by the way, why the fuck did they ever get Blair Walsh????

Could happen now that our guru Tom Cable is gone, thankfully.
I hate Blair Walsh.

Maybe Seattle should hire better talent scouts.

James Carpenter played well for the Jets
Breno Giacomini was a fine RG even after his Seattle tenure
Max Unger is still the starting C for a team in the NFC Divisional round
Duane Brown is here now

It's not the drafting or the recognition. It's the coaching. These guys are regressing in the current system and it's clear to see from those who watch them regularly. Money has been thrown at the Oline, but the extension contract after the rookie deals are not being offered because the players are not being developed. Great prospects like Ryan Ramczyk are being passed over and guys who haven't played Tackle since middle school like George Fant are being forced in playing Left Tackle for a perennial NFL playoff team.

What there seems broken to you?


It's not the coaching, it's the QB. Seattle fans are just not willing to admit that Wittow Wusty Wilson has no fucking idea how to read a defense and step up INTO the pocket to buy an extra second or two and hit his 2nd or 3rd option. Unless and until he does that, there is no combination of OL's and coaches that is going to make things better.

Too many of you have fallen in love wit Wusty's school yard broken plays for large gains and and ignore that he sucks otherwise.

Add in Pete Carroll's undisciplined program and you get what you got. No playoffs.
