I get it, the Seahawks invested substantial draft capital in him.
But wasn't the modus operandi of the Seahawks during the peak of our run that competition is everything? That they ran on a meritocracy?
Not only has Germain Ifedi been an awful pass protector, he was the most penalized player in the NFL last year and once again I believe he had a flag or two against the Broncos.
He did go up against one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, but how much worse can you do than 3 sacks? I'd give him a pass if this wasn't a routine occurrence.
The Seahawks really need to replace him. I don't see a reason to keep him starting. He doesn't show any flashes to me, and his penalties are drive killers. Hell, even if it's not an improvement in pass protection or run blocking, as long as his replacement hopefully wouldn't commit even half the amount of penalties.
I honestly don't believe I've ever seen a Seahawks RT play this poorly over a 30 game stretch in my entire time watching the team. I don't think that I'd be exaggerating by saying that Germain Ifedi is the worst tackle I have seen start for 3 straight years.
End of rant.
