O-Line news getting worse

[Wolvie]

Max Unger, Breno Giacomini both could miss Seattle Seahawks' game against Houston Texans - ESPN

sounds like 60% of our starting O-line very well could miss the game. Thats not a good thing on the road against the #2 Defense in the league. To bad we did not have the 49ers Home/Away schedule and have them playing us at home. Like Sando Said, "The 49ers got the much easier Schedule as they got most of their tough games at home"

Yeah, and the 9ers lost one of those tough home games.
NOW, the Seahawks, regardless of injuries, need to win at least ONE of the next two road games against our tough road opponents. Doesn't matter which one, just win at least one, otherwise we will most likely be tied with the niners, and we don't want that.

Man.. So 3 starters on the O-line out ? That would be tough... We just have to hope some of these young guy's can step up and surprise us.... Or hope that not all 3 are out come Sunday... We'll have to game plan accordingly... Just go to BIG sets and keep those TE in there blocking...

I think if all 3 are out then big sets and a very heavy dose of read option. We might have to run 45+ times in this game to pull out a victory.

This is starting to look like whichever team that wins the turnover battle will win this game.

I know that one of Russell's strengths is keeping the play alive and making things happen with his legs...whether it be scrambling for 5-10 yards or finding a receiver down the field after rolling out...it's been one of Russell's most effective ability

However...in this game I really fear that Russell will try to keep a play alive and make himself vulnerable for a big strip that will lead to a fumble. We've seen how good defenses have played Russell thus far. Carolina did a great job bottling him up and those random spin moves that Russell did that worked so well last year didn't work as well against the Panthers.

For Russell it's his natural instinct to always look down field trying to make a play...but in this game I think ball security is a premium and Russell may have to be a bit more careful if we want to win this

I'm looking forward to seeing how Michael Bowie plays. He's been drawing rave reviews from the coaching staff. He was the starting LT for OSU in 2011 on a team that went 12-1. It would be fantastic if he turns out to be another gem.

Hopefully Watt teaches him valuables lessons tomorrow.

Yea Cable/Carroll have been raving about Bailey and Bowie all camp so we should now get a good idea of what we got.

It sounds like Breno could have a potentially long term injury so we could be seeing alot of Bowie and if he pans out that is one less position we have to worry about long term as Breno is UFA at the end of the year.

Breno isnt even that good and he is penalty prone. The one thing he does bring is a little nastiness which is nice.

It is also nice that he seems to annoy the other team so much that he is almost guaranteed to get smacked in the head at some point and get us a free 15 yards.

 

[Doublejive]

I saw Breno grab one guy and push him to another for about 10 yards back,it really depends on his line up etc.

Hopefully Watt teaches him valuables lessons tomorrow.

Don't think there had to be any hope or a Houston win for that to happen. Watt is a beast.

Seattle had a season-high 179 yards rushing today with three OL injured. Thank you, Tom Cable

Still need to work on the pass protection, but so far, so good.
