Was looking at some OTA highlights and there might be a clue as to the FO mindset of positions for o-line competition.
The o-line I saw was (left to right) Fant - Joeckel - Britt - Myers - ??
Now I'm not saying this is likely to be the starters come September but i thought it was interesting as Joeckel is higher priced talent and Britt is the only obvious starter imho. I wonder if we can read anything into it at all. If you put Ifedi at RT I wonder if this might not be a million miles away from our starting o-line.
Also does anyone think that Pocic will ultimately be Britt's replacement as Britt will likely be Okunged into a comp pick? The more I think about this the more it makes sense. How long has it been since we drafted a centre and they started at centre (cant include Hunt here)?
Lastly did anyone see Gregg Rosenthal on NFL.com talking about remaining weak spots on NFC teams? I thought he got the Seahawks pretty spot on and it highlights what many think of Tom Cable here. It's mildly amusing also.
Writing about the struggles of the Seahawks' offensive line in the offseason is almost as tiresome as daily non-updates of the team's flirtation with Colin Kaepernick. Seattle has added pieces like second-round pick Ethan Pocic and free agent Luke Joeckel, but Seahawks fans should be past expecting the changes to work.
Cut to November and offensive line coach Tom Cable will be getting praised in a national broadcast for his ability to convert a recent MMA fighter into the team's starting right guard, ranked No. 79 out of 80 PFF qualifiers.
