Hey Fellow 12's!!
Like the vast majority of you, I'm very excited about this Duane Brown trade and what it means for the Seahawks moving forward. As I've been trying to assess just how MUCH of an upgrade this is for the Seahawks, I've been taking a look at some of the numbers from Pro Football Focus (and they are pretty eye popping). For those who are interested, I thought I would share some of the numbers that I've compiled ...

How about this past Sunday? This last Sunday's game was a real exclamation point of just how glaring of a weakness Left Tackle has been.

Clowney had an absolute field day going up against Odhiambo, as Left Tackle was basically a turnstile for Clowney and that Texans Front.

Not too shabby for a guy who'd missed the entire season who (by the way) happens to be going up against Frank Clark.
Just thought I'd throw that out there. IMO, given Brown's experience with the Zone Blocking Schemes, this is a Night and Day plug and play addition, as besides being a Pro Bowl Level LT, I contend he can be that coach out on the field for the young guys.

Phenomenal addition that should pay HUGE dividends for this team moving forward.

Source:• Over the past two seasons the Seahawks have boasted one of the worst left-tackle situation in the NFL. In 2016 starter George Fant was the lowest graded tackle in the league with an overall grade of 30.3, while this season has featured Rees Odhiambo as the starter. His grade of 27.3 also ranks last among qualifiers.
• Brown joins one of the most porous offensive lines in the league in terms of pass blocking, a unit that is ranked 30th with a 71.5 pass-blocking efficiency mark.
