Anyone care to talk about potential of Rees? Apparently he measured well but hasn’t play well. Was it skills or Cable?

On the slightly negative side though there wasn’t a clear edge to Odhimabo’s play and you’d love to see him knocking some helmet’s like we saw from Shon Coleman at Auburn. At tackle he’s a bit of a lunger and he sometimes overextends. Moving him inside will limit some of his weaknesses and bring out his power/agility.
To that extent he’s an exciting project for Tom Cable. He’s big, strong and mobile. Everything you hear about him suggests he’s a quick learner, he’s intelligent and a good worker. There’s no real pressure for him to start immediately (Mark Glowsinki appears to be pencilled in at left guard) and in a years time he could be really pushing to be the long term answer at that position.
Even though he’s better suited inside — like Ifedi he also has some swing-tackle benefits.
The key is health. He’s missed at least four games in each of the last three seasons. Injuries have been an issue for the Seahawks O-line in the past due to the physical nature of the scheme and their running style.
Obviously Ifedi should also improve with experience. It's not the same people who are making both arguments.jlwaters1":1et8htiw said:Curiously Ifedi, gets none of that courtesy from this board despite starting for 2 years (That's at least something).

Being one of the strongest, perhaps Rees could enjoy success in Solari’s system? Perhaps he could be a rod grader for our running game?

That was their hope, but hasn't happened yet but I would not count him out either. New game, new leaders, all have a shot. Given what I've seen I give him less than 50/50 personally, but stranger things have happened. :2thumbs:

Expression is going to be very different across these differences, why staying on topic and addressing posts without the inflammatory dialogue included is important, once things get personal everything goes sideways almost every time. It's also why we have the Shack !

Though it's curious people are giving him a pass, making excuses like "He's still learning, or he was thrown into a new position. He was a 3rd round pick and looked completely overwhelmed for most of the last 2 years. Curiously Ifedi, gets none of that courtesy from this board despite starting for 2 years (That's at least something). I would argue Ifedi has been a better player thus far in their careers. Yet it's Ifedi whose constantly being thrown under the bus.
I think Rees is a backup again this year-- Pocic will win the starting LG job, and he'll have a hard time making the team next year.
