Whoa whoa whoa bestiality was banned in 2006 man, ain't nobody supposed to screw pooches anymore.

MM to JS: "So, how are we going to plan our draft?"

JS: "Doggy-style, baby!"



I'm gonna get banned for this, aren't I?

Was that when all the good quality control from Boeing started dying from horses

Hey now, my uncle was a QC inspector at Boeing... Funny thing is, my entire family worked for Boeing and I don't remember any of them flying anywhere, they drove everywhere, even to places like Florida or Alaska.
...I could probably start a thread for members only.

We got what they thought was the best defensive player in the draft.

Ryan Grubb admits Seahawks have work to do on offensive line

Finding a way to bridge that gap will be perhaps the most challenging aspect of Grubb’s job this season.

revisiting my 4/27/24 post. I guess Grubb agrees with me.

You didn't pick WHO I WANTED, YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!

 

[metwelve]

Yes, yes, the offensive line is the axis upon which the world rotates. No need for defenders.

Besides, we got probably the second-best guard in the whole draft.

practiced with the second string at OTA's couldn't beat out UDFA McClendon Curtis

Acting like a petulant child isn't helping your argument. Grubb said they have work to do, which to me means learning his system and schemes. He didn't say they need different players... You're perpetual post of the title doesn't prove your point like you think it does.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yeah. He should come out and say the O Line is perfect and doesn't need work.

Back to class, son.

This reminds me of that Domehack thread from 5 years ago where he felated himself after N'Keal Harry caught 2 passes in a preseason game. This thread will no doubt have a similar outcome.

The need to draft an C was not perceived by the team as they'd drafted OLu Olu hast year and had signed Nick Harris in FA.

Just b/c Olu was given a redshirt last season doesn't mean the team doesn't still regard him as an able OC. Nick Harris has a history with our new OLine coach and played well for UW when he was there.

Frankly I prefer the two players they drafted in the 4th rd. over any of C candidates. In result I disagree the team screwed the pooch.

Most of us listened to the actual Ryan Grubb press conference. That press conference clearly exposes the self serving slant of both the quoted post and linked article.

Posted claim is groundless.

Seventeen offensive linemen on the roster offering a lot of combinations to explore.

Early stages of an epic developmental story to come.

Yep, and a bunch of day 3 picks wouldn't have changed that.

Any other questions?

 

[HawkRiderFan]

I'd be more skeptical if Grubb said in early June that the line was good and ready to go for the start of the season.

Well he has to implement a new approach, teach guys his way, have them unlearn stuff from the previous regime, then he has to see if they can handle it, lot to do with Rookies and hold overs.

Forgive me for stating the obvious: The success of the O-line doesn't just depend on scouting and drafting but player development and scheme. Ryan Grubb and Scott Huff have their work cut out for them, but I like the pieces we have now over who we had the last few years.

I also love that we stole Grubb and Huff from Kalen DeBoer. I think that Huff was a steal as the offensive line coach and might be the secret weapon. People forget that Huff was Chris Petersen's offensive coordinator at Boise State, which was an innovative and potent offense. And Huff has coached so many players who became All-Mountain West and All-Pac12 O-linemen as well as NFL players.

So you are telling me that Curtis is way better than people expected, and so there was no need to draft another lineman after all?

You know who Charles Cross reminds me a bit of?

Ryan Clady. Great pass blocking technique, special feet, can mirror his ass off. Same weaknesses as Clady had coming out of college, too.

Interesting parallel there. Clady sure as hell ended up working out - shame he got derailed by injuries, he might've been a hall of famer if his body held up.

Fun fact: Cross didn't even come close to this, but Clady ran a 7.07 3-cone. Among the best ever clocked for a lineman and wouldn't be out of place for a WR. Cross ran a better shuttle than Clady though, and that tends to be the drill most heavily correlated with OL success. Abe Lucas had a screaming shuttle, too.



I mean, it's actually pretty insane how heavily a good shuttle correlates with pro success. Abe ran a 4.4 flat, 97th percentile. Cross 4.61, Clady 4.73.
