That and we for the first time in years have guys that won't be wondering what position they will be playing for a change.

The visual movement is going to be slower but more powerful at left guard. The Bo Scarborough signing makes added sense with the addition of Mike Iupati. The pass blocking hysteria, we have all become so very familiar with, may never go away.toffee":27y51ovd said:A-Dog":27y51ovd said:I am excited to see what a pair of guards that average 6'-5" 335 lbs along with a 6'-5" 322 lb tight end can do with an a run-oriented offense.
Feeling like our run blocking would be fine unless some smart DCs figured out a way to neutralize our size advantage. Pass blocking is another story altogether. Fluker historically ranked highly on run blocking but not so good on pass blocking, anyone knows of Iupati's pass blocking?
Interesting Field Gulls article on Iupati https://www.fieldgulls.com/2019/3/16/18 ... e-seahawks includes some passpro against Suh and Donald last season when he was seemingly playing hurt,for what its worth.toffee":258k1ero said:A-Dog":258k1ero said:I am excited to see what a pair of guards that average 6'-5" 335 lbs along with a 6'-5" 322 lb tight end can do with an a run-oriented offense.

feeling optimistic about Iupati.

Fade":3ta9iruv said:I think Jamarco Jones is going to get reps at LG if nothing is found in the Draft. And I won't be surprised if he ends up starting a lot in place of Iupati at that spot.
They need to keep Simmons on the right side because you know Fluker is going to get hurt so he has to be ready to play at RG.
Jones is too talented to just be left to rot behind Dwayne Brown. I think Fant is the backup RT guaranteed at this point.
They usually only keep 9 for the 53.
LT Brown ---- LG Iupati ---- C Britt ---- RG Fluker ---- RT Ifedi
LT/LG Jamarco Jones
RT/LT George Fant w/some TE duties.
C/G-- Joey Hunt
Guard - Jordan Simmons
This is a pretty good crew overall. I love the depth. but it will get scary though if both Iupati & Fluker both get injured which probably will happen at some point.
The only way Pocic makes the team is if Britt or Hunt gets injured and cannot make it back in time for week 1. He is as good as gone. There just isn't room for him especially if they draft an O-Lineman in the 4th round or earlier. He needs injuries to happen at this point if he is to make the team.

So Ifedi, Fant, Britt, Roos, Hunt, Pocic, will all be gone? That would include our starting RT and C?
