Why keeping Lance Kendricks was a Rams priority

[Jville]

As Kendricks explained, it was a move made in no small part because of other things on the periphery, such as a close relationship with tight ends coach Rob Boras and promises of an expanded role in the passing game. .....

...... Kendricks was asked to run-block on 55 percent of his plays, to pass-block 9 percent of the time and to run a route on 36 percent of his snaps (in 2014).

It's in the run game that the Rams particularly value Kendricks because he's able to be a lead blocker from the backfield or on the line or even out in space.

Sounds familiar ..... doesn't it. No wonder Dan Quinn wanted him.

Finding a blocking TE has to be a priority for the Seahawks this off-season. Zach Miller was missed last season. Willson simply needs to get stronger. . . Mass + speed/technique = ass hauled. Carroll has also talked about using Tukuafu as an in-line blocker.
