I guess we'll see how much time Gill gets, see how much he will (hopefully) improve. But there is also potential growth there, as Cable is clearly convinced of.CodeWarrior":pbwfaf72 said:LeftHandSmoke":pbwfaf72 said:The general consensus is that the interior guys are playing well, despite their inexperience, and that they will improve with game-to-game experience and up-coaching. Fair enough, we've seen a clear history of OL improvement during recent Seahawk seasons.
The questioning is more around the tackles but why not make the same assumptions about their ability to improve throughout the season? They are certainly 'physical' (and young and big) enough to get good, most certainly motivated enough, and just like the interior men also have the coach's best hopes and attentions to improve. Webb may be too set in his ways but all the others, yes including Sowell, must surely have the potential to build upon, right?
By some stats this group is close to or even ahead of last year's line at this week of the season. With an arguably higher upside because of their youth and the ongoing learnings.
How much time does Gilliam get?
What's an acceptable current performance/future potential tradeoff? Seems to me we're consistently high on future potential and not so much on current performance.
When guys with the obvious experience of PC and TC express short-term criticism but also solid confidence about improvements to come, well that's encouraging talk. They have reputations, which can be earned only through years of straight talking.
