OLU breakdown (Dan Viens)

Silver Lining to the Sundell injury?

 

[rjdriver]

Good find.

I don’t have near the football acumen with regard to line play as the dudes in this video, but our run game seemed to improve with Olu in there in the second half.

Obviously the coaches who see them every day are in a position to gauge who gives us the best chance to win, but even if there is a drop off when Olu plays, I don’t think it a huge one..

 

[Trackhawk]

Can't watch the whole thing right now, but looking forward to it. I posted in another thread that Olu + Bradford was significantly better in opening holes than Sundell + Bradford. For whatever reason, Olu elevated Bradford's play, more so when you look at the two put together, than when you isolate Bradford's play.

You wouldn't necessarily pick this kind of thing up in practices, so I can understand why they thought Sundell was the better pick for center. And, he may yet prove to be, but I'm excited to see what our running game look like with Olu + Bradford, when it isn't garbage time.

Who the phuck is Dan Viend?

Who the phuck is Dan Viend?

Podcaster. Seahawks Forever. Very good podcaster. Probably my favorite just ahead of HawkBlogger and Rob Staton.

I watched this video the day it came out. Very good stuff.

Again, Sundell never beat out Olu for the job. He was just the healthy one when the season started. Olu is probably the better center right now. Sundell just has the higher ceiling.

Bad Veins?

 

[Frank12]

I'll wait and see if he plays well vs. The Rams then it's a silver lining...

 

[Shane Falco]

We'll see how Olu and Bradford hold up in pass pro against the Rams. I hope they have a good game, that's the only potential downside that I cane see. I think it's no secret that Olu and Bradford have been better in the run game than they have in pass pro. Of course Olu hasn't had much of a chance to prove himself in this system yet.

Agreed, although I would put him just behind Brian. Both are great seahawks content creators. I love Dan's pre and post draft stuff.

I know Staton and seen some of Hawkblogger. There's another young kid named Brendan that I don't like at all.

I cannot stand Brendan. Completely got him off my YouTube algorithm, he’s terrible

 

[SoulfishHawk]

So is Staton

 

[Appyhawk]

I've been rooting since beginning Olu at center and Sundell at RG. That's what I would hang my hat on.

Yeah, there's something about that kid that I don't like and I can't pin point it. I think it's when he talks he's always looking to the side at something like every 3 seconds. Instead of engaging with the viewers etc...It seems like that kid is doing it for money instead of the passion for the team. His takes are stupid and make zero sense half of the time.

Viens!

Do a bit of research, he’s actually pretty solid

These are the 3 guys I watch the most as well. I also like Corbin Smith and Rang, as well as the Cigar Thoughts guy. Brendon Nelson is a joke. Same with Chat Sports, which should really be named Clickbait Sports. I see they replaced that Tyler guy was some other joker who's even worse.

Smith and Rang I do like. I work a lot so I don't research that often but I check out Viens. I do like a good podcast.

Same!
