But **** I wish we had gone after Henry. Imagine the 1-2 punch we'd have. Jesus.

I honestly don't know - how good is the raven Oline? Would Henry be as effective behind the Hawks line?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm happy with K9. And they're plenty happy with the beast that is Henry. Both can exist and be good.

If Seahawks had Henry, they would have ran the ball more often, as in 55% run, 45% pass.

The Baltimore offensive line is something serious!

I wish JS had the desire to build a monster offensive line like Baltimore has!!

Daniel Faalele and Roger Rosengarten (UDub) together have been phenomenal!

Baltimore makes it a point to continuously draft offensive lineman high, and these guys together may be the best guard/tackle combo for the next decade.

Top 3 in the NFL to me

We drafted Cross and Lucas. We added Olu. We traded for Williams.

Thats 3/5ths of the line HIGHLY invested in in 2 years. There were multiple spots of need on the team. We cant JUST address the Oline. And we also cant dismiss the fact that Lucas has been out - not something anyine coukd have anticipated.

If Lucas were healthy, we wouldnt have the O line issues we have.

Well, the jury is out on how long Lucas will play. I know they just said he will return and hopefully he can have a lengthy career and put this injury behind him. Seattle is still relatively thin at Guard. And Guard has been the Achilles heal for the Seattle offensive line for a long time.

Let’s hope they can grab some premier talent this upcoming draft.

If John ever decides to get serious about the interior o line, he'll need to go out of his comfort zone as far as where to draft these guys and how much he's willing to spend.

No.

It's less about the Ravens O-line and more about Lamar. The defense can't fully commit to stacking the box. They have to shadow Lamar, so at least one defender will react slowly to Henry, and when you stack the box, you have man coverage on the outside. Pick your poison.

This is a once-in-a-generation situation for Henry—the best complementary QB/RB tandem since Russ and Lynch. How did the rest of the NFL let this happen?

The Henry signing is looking more and more like a perfect storm. We've been at the peak of undervaluing of RBs (especially age 28+). Baltimore could fit him on their team as the de facto RB easily when other teams couldn't. On top of that, the RB market had the younger Saquon as a target for teams looking to FA their way into an upgrade at the position. End result is a bunch of teams weren't looking for FA RBs and those that were weren't looking at Henry. Then one of the best teams got one of the best players at one of the lowest prices.
