Ifedi was just another in a long line of early draft picks that were suppose to play tackle, but magically had to move inside once training camp started.
Boggles my mind that we have the combined experience, football intelligence and savvy of three people like Schneider, Pete and Cable..............and we still can't draft O-lineman correctly.

jammerhawk":2459lf4w said:The argument that the team should take Okung back b/c there are only a few options is sorth of like settling to go to prom with the ugly girl when there are better options. At least you've got a date is the logic. Paying premium money for the 15th best guy, if in fact he really is 15th, sounds to me like something the team wouldn't do. Perhaps, if the price was really right, but even then i suspect the team has seen all it needed to see of Okung.
Attyla the Hawk":2uyas8gt said:Actually, Ifedi is precisely the different take. Instead of wasting a rookie year at RT, only to be moved inside to have to take an additional year to acclimate -- they started him on the inside where the curve is slighter. In a way, it seems like they have adjusted to the successes (and failures).

Wright is 27 and a Pro Bowler and could play any of the 3 LB spots for Cleveland that aren't occupied by Collins. Cleveland wants players.
Yeah we'd miss Wright but we play mostly nickel and if we draft a S then Kam could come up and play WLB in the nickel.

No. But I'd gladly give them Fant, Gilliam, Kearse, and Tom Cable for Joe Thomas. Apparently Cable is a genius as an OL coach. So it's an even trade. :sarcasm_off:
If thats true it would be the downfall of a great team. 2 seasons have gone to waste because the o line gets abused and defense cant make up for it. If pete cant see this and fix it he needs to go, i dont want to watch prime players careers wasted because of stupid decisions like this.Jazzhawk":14w2oipo said:You guys know in reality, the Seahawks aren't going to spend more than $2 Mil or so for any OL free agent. I'm saying it here now, we start all 5 guys that ended the 2016 season, in 2017. (For better or worse).

Sadly, this is all painfully true.

:34853_doh: No. The idea is not to spend more money and still be just as bad as last year at offensive tackle. The idea is to upgrade the position from really bad to at least competent and if that costs more money, then so be it.
