So I was watching a video on Caleb Williams woes and they were talking about how long he holds the ball vs someone like Joe Burrow.
Caleb in college was used to using his athletic abilities, as well as having top tier line talent, to be able to have more time for plays to develop. And the bears do him no favors with their current line as well as having our old OC Shane. Watching Shane calling on long developing plays with a line that can't block looks so familiar.
Anyways, It got me thinking about the Seahawks. Let's face it, we have had about a decade of below avg line play with hints of average at times. But the last five years we have been near or at the bottom.
But the reality is that Geno has dealt with it every year he's been here. It seems like that has forced him to make quick reads and get the ball out before he gets absolutely destroyed.
As Seahawks fans we have all watched and lowered our expectations on what we expect from our o line (which is why it's so weird watching Cross be so good this year) but from what I saw from Geno and Gibbs, maybe they have the formula to still make it work.
I think that is the part I'm so excited about with Gibbs and Geno this year is they aren't trying to force an offense that just isn't going to work. I think that was the big adjustment after the 1st half of game one. Designing an offense around the weakness of our pass blocking.
That's the only thing that makes sense to me how we have the 2nd worst pass protection and 2nd best rated qb.
