HawkerD":3ux1u7dh said:Fans ready to throw this guy on the scrap heap a year ago. Trying to play his third position in 3 years we had him for a big time bust. Turn out JS/PC/TC all saw something in him and and were finally able to bring it out. Thank goodness the fans aren't running the team (myself included) Just happy to have him locked up. OL might be shaping up as a strong suit. :sarcasm_off:
Hawkscanner":3ua1yqb4 said:Whoa! Wait! Aren't the Seahawks NOT ALLOWED to actually pay Offensive Linemen? I mean, the National Media is going to have to change its whole "the Seahawks are cheapskates when it comes to the Offensive Line" script. Seriously, what are they going to do now? This, like, threatens their entire belief system. :shock:

Slightly better than a quill.
You probably already read this snippet from Carroll last off-season but they drafted him in part because of what they thought he could do at center.kidhawk":1b5mafo8 said:Well, they did appear to get it right moving him to center, but it took them long enough to get it right. He was subpar at both Tackle and Guard. I am very glad he's found a position where he can be a solid (and possibly pro bowl type) player. I just wish we'd have figured it out in year 2 instead of year 3
PC 5/8/16":1b5mafo8 said:“If we stay with this throughout camp and get enough play time, he will be able to play every position, make him extremely valuable in that regard," Carroll added of Britt's move to center, an idea Seattle discussed last season and one Carroll said they had in mind when the club drafted Britt three years ago.
