Cheapest OL in the NFL, worst OL in the NFL

[MORGULON]

I would trade DK and Walker for 2 decent lineman. And go with Charbonnet as the starter. Yes they are good players. But not good enough to win a game against the giants. But starting lineman might have.

I'd keep Walker . Trade Lockett and DK , Fant .

 

[Shane Falco]

The rookie we drafted must be REALLY bad if he can't get a spot on this line...

Yeah, sure makes you wonder doesn't it? Meanwhile, the guy SF drafted 5 picks later is tearing it up as a rookie.

 

[hawker84]

Let's not get stupid here. I do however think they need to do something and trading Lockett may be the way to go. I know everybody loves Lockett including me, but we have to do something about this O-line.

Lockett has very little trade value, DK does. What good is a stud reciever if he has no time to run a route and our QB has zero time in the pocket? We could have jerry rice in his prime out there and it wouldn't matter because our OLine is a turnstile. People need to stop looking at the Shiney toys and start looking at the trenches. Because that is how championship teams are built. From the inside out.

 

[hawker84]

As long as our OLine is sub par, these are the type of games you can expect. What Geno is doing behind this sh*t show is nothing less than a miracle. Trade DK and whatever else and start getting some studs up front, then rebuild the offense from there. Stud skill players are great, but they don't mean crap if your QB has no time to let the routes develope, and no time to go through his reads. That's football 101.

 

[Maelstrom787]

I'm just going to say it.

I don't think money would've fixed this line.

I don't think paying guys like Damien Lewis almost 20 million a year moves the needle. We already had him for cheap and we still sucked ass on the OL.

If we cannot:

1. Coach a line with below average talent to some baseline competency

or

2. Gameplan effectively around the lines worst traits

Then we have bigger problems that would make FA splurges a waste of money.

We've been cheap on the line, but we have drafted the SHIT out of the OL. That should be enough for some results. With time, we may see some growth yet - but the problem lies deeper.

 

[James in PA]

The coaching staff needs to get in John's face and say "hey maybe you guys didn't prioritize O Line for the last decade plus around here, but in order to be successful in today's NFL, we need to make it the A1 priority."

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Damn, they just gave up another sack.

 

[James in PA]

Oh, by the way, I guess we're not drafting our QB of the future anytime soon since everyone agrees we need to have a good line in place before doing so.

 

[HD48]

The one thing this OL managed to to somewhat decently is run block. Why is the run game with K9 not our identity anyway ? Didn't both MM and RG say "it's starts with the ground game" ? Dont see a lot of that.
But yes, JS botched this. He doesn't learn. I get what he's saying with Guards being overvalued as in overpaid but we're the best example for the fact that two horrible guards can ruin your entire line. Being forced to play Forsythe who shouldn't be near an NFL field on Sunday doesn't help either. How is this guy under contract? He stinks.

 

[Pickly]

They’ve invested a lot into the line draft capital wise but for some reason cannot develop lineman for squat. You can have all the weapons on offense you want but if you cannot block or protect your QB it’s redundant. Signing/trading for last minute has beens in August needs to stop and they need to prioritize scouting and drafting lineman early or pulling out the chequebook in the first few days of free agency and getting the top guys on the market. I swear if they cave and give Metcalf a massive raise this offseason and don’t address the OL you might as well throw next season in the trash as well because it’ll be more of the same.

 

[CPHawk]

I'd keep Walker . Trade Lockett and DK , Fant .

I’d trade Dk today for a pro bowl quality G and 2 rd pick

 

[CouchLogic]

The OL sucking all year isn't a shocker. It's not being addressed until this off season, there were too many holes on the defense that needed attention (looks like there are a few more, lol).

Just need to keep grinding. The team should be taking care of scrub teams, but sometimes that's not in the cards.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I’d trade TK today for a pro bowl quality G and 2 rd pick

Who it TK?

Thats the thing, JS thinks guards are overdrafted and overpaid due to lack of depth and talent in that position currently. I doubt JS trades for a pro bowl quality G since the pay day is going to be insane. I still think you move on from DK and trade him because he will want a big pay day too (I assume you meant just DK in this trade and not a combo of Tyler Lockett and DK)

The team , the way it's constructed is not a viable winner. Those 2 receivers need to be dealt along with Fant . Way too much cap tied up in those guys ..

Here's the elephant pleasuring himself in your living room. Abe freaking Lucas . They need to understand it is what it is. He's done . Seattle needs 3 quality offense linemen. Capable quality, I'm not talking pro bowlers

 

[Mad Dog]

Trading DK would make one of the best WR rooms, one of the most mediocre. Obtaingin a pro bowl guard would make the worst OL in the league , still one of the worst. We have 3 guys that are not starter quality, one starter quality guy and one very good player. Adding one more very good player is not going to move the needle.

 

[Rat]

The PFF grades for the OL yesterday are interesting. Haynes and Cross graded out very well. Bradford was surprisingly average, which is an improvement for him. After them, Connor and Laken both graded out awful and Forsythe was a special kind of ghastly.

 

[James in PA]

"Getting bargain O line help in the 2nd and 3rd waves of free agency is a sure fire way to build a dominant line."

Said no NFL executive ever, other than John Schneider.

 

[James in PA]

The Seattle Seahawks are not allowed to have dominant O line play or dominant tight end play. It's in the rules.

Lockett has very little trade value, DK does. What good is a stud reciever if he has no time to run a route and our QB has zero time in the pocket?

Need to tell this to Jon Schneider
