Nothing ventured I guess?

Maybe Mathis really is damn good, but I'm generally a bit weary of age 33+ OL who built a reputation somewhere else. For all we know, Mathis could be Mike Wahle 2.0.
I was wondering where they would put him in light of the change-up. Cable's not going to drop Sweezy, and that would have forced Britt out of the starting rotation.kearly":2ycx0z5w said:The Seahawks had already moved Britt to guard and liked what they were seeing before bringing in Mathis.

But then the coach added there "still could be a real competitive situation at right tackle," and at center between Nowak and Lemuel Jeanpierre, the backup to since-traded Max Unger the last five seasons.
A real competitive situation at right tackle could indeed develop if the Seahawks do sign Mathis. That would send Britt back to right tackle to compete with Gilliam.
Holy crap, Brian Habib. The cavalcade of deservingly forgotten names rolls on. Brian Habib! Wow...endzorn":r8ilni99 said:This thread has taken a turn, but I remember the .Net masses thinking Wahle was going to solve the LG issues despite shoulders like Betty White. 'In Ruskell We Trust'.
I was guilty of sounding the trumpet for Brian Habib in '98 so I should probably shut the hell up.

I actually wonder at times if the Seahawks are literally allowing themselves to be used for leverage. "Hey Evan's a cool guy. Let's bring him in for a physical (translation: beers w/ Schneider) and see if we can't get some of our competitors to fork over more cash for his services."
Damn good? Per PFF Mathis isn't just the highest rated lineman in the NFL, he's the third highest rated FOOTBALL PLAYER in the NFL.kearly":3qqbr9rf said:The Seahawks had already moved Britt to guard and liked what they were seeing before bringing in Mathis.
