Did anybody else see this stat about Seattle's O-Line last night?

So how'd they look? Did you catch the game?

Just checked the stat line: six sacks given up...not so good.

RW has been hit just a tad bit less than the Colt's QB's this year.  Needless to say, putting money in your defense helps, but the trenches are a nice spot to put some of that bread as well.

Sending their center to New Orleans in the off season didn't exactly help them. 

Hey! but but getting an all world TE that eats up cap space, doesn't block and you don't throw it to is a win right...right?  Seattle is slipping and in more than the obvious ways their o-line did last night.  When you look across that defensive roster, Avril, Chancellor, MeBane, Sherman, Earl, Wagner, KJ...the infighting that's already begun over the dolla's.  To me it looks as if Seattle will be Detroit or Dallas in a few years, a team with a few high paid "superstar" players and not much else.  

Whether they got lucky with some of these players or their talent evaluation has just been that good will be the test.  I think they said on the broadcast last night Seattle was starting 24 undrafted players.  Well guess what?  It looked like it.

Russell Wilson is elusive though. They could have had more sack than that. Still, six in one game is amazing. 

 

It's not going to be whether we can get to Russell, it's if we can take him down before he makes a play. 

Wilson may be the only QB in the league more elusive than Cam (Rodgers has to be in the running too).  Watching guys try to tackle Wilson is like watching guys try to tackle Smitty back in the day.  Those guys get small when guys are coming in to tackle, and their so strong if the guy doesn't get them clean they can escape.  The height disadvantage Wilson has in the pocket is an asset when he's scrambling.

Cam has a much bigger tackle radius if you want to call it that.  He can shake would-be tacklers through pure brute strength, but it's harder for him to "get small" on a collapsing pocket and escape that way.

They have three undrafted free agents on their line, that all three played different positions in college (one TE, and the other two DT, I think).  Is that unheard of or what?  I thought last year with Bell, and Chandler was bad.  But good Lord.  

they have a theory that athletes are needed for the Oline and they believe

OL coach Tom Cable can transform them into lineman....coach'em up.

They also get these guys on the cheap cause their all udfa.

great way to do it if it works.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him.

      It's just a burden to throw a dart if you're so green. Dan has his work cut out for him.
