I appreciate depth signings more than the average fan because depth separates the actual playoff teams from the playoff contenders. My issue with their OL process is that they are still doing things the Tom Cable way, where every lineman needs to play every position even if they suck at it.
What we need is a group with 5 players who are good enough at *one* position that they make up our starting OL. When it comes to depth then you can start treating versatility as a bonus because you've already admitted that the backup isn't good enough to start. Unfortunately for 15 years we used linemen who weren't even good at 1 position, and kept pretending that versatility was a virtue.

Jones proved to be a valuable swing tackle as a backup and filled in admirably when Cross went down. I'm glad they were able to bring him back!

Anyone who says this line is still doing things the Cable way is wrong. Just 100% wrong period. No matter how much they repeat their position and claim to be smarter than the average fan.

Really like this signing. Hopefully Lucas and Cross can repeat last year where they were relatively healthy but just in case....

I don’t trust JS to select a guard. Pay Fries and spend a high pick on someone like Ratledge. Quit looking for cheap band aids that are no different than what you’ve continually had to rip off the wound the last number of years.
While the Hawks won the Super Bowl...

This is his thing. Always fishing for attention. Everything the Hawks do sucks. It used to be entertaining, now it's just sad.
If it's not Anime-guy, it's Rat.

If it's not Rat, it's that SPOHAWK/SeahawksJunkieDummy.

I wonder if they do this because they're bored? :unsure:

Some of the original posters from last year should come back and apologize to JS for their takes here. It is also funny seeing posters who must rule their fantasy football and Madden leagues with their takes.

Nobody needs to be doing that sort of thing if they don't want to.

Re-signs on a one year deal. Feel like this is hugely under rated. Helped us through the Cross injury big time and can supposedly play RT too if Lucas gets hurt.



Depth is intact

He looked good in preseason and that carried over into the regular season. This is a good result for the Seahawks and a miss by multiple other teams who needed an upgrade.

He played better than a lot of teams starters. Weird no one else grabbed him
