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.
