Tom Cable...
Seems to me that Tom Cable has made a career of chasing talent around the NFL, instead of the talent in the NFL chasing him. See the following...
No, I would not welcome Tom Cable back at all.

So far the pass protection looks really solid. Giving geno all sorts of time.
Its still early but he's got time.

I love Lockett, DK and K9 especially Lockett he's a true man not fake like Russell. It's really hard to be forced to watch a real team with probably the best quarterback ever with actual coaches doing their thing every week and not be completely pissed at the shit show Pete has been allowed to get away with for 7-8 years with no end in sight.

Those are three really good answers!
Offense, offense, and more offense, eh?

So game 3 is in the books, and while Seattle beat Carolina by a score of 37 to 27, I honestly didn't believe that would happen. While I did not get to watch this game myself, I understand that the Hawk's were down 4 starting offensive linemen for much of this game, and only (Center) Evan Brown played through the entire contest. I've got a few quick stats & a question at the end for those that might be interested in following or adding to this thread as the season goes on.
Only two sacks given up, while missing four starting offensive linemen, plus tight end Will Dissly.
Credit the quality of depth - We've seen starting 5's that couldn't do that well in recent years.
While I'm sure these rushing stats have a lot to do with the overall talent at the running back position, it's still a pretty remarkable accomplishment with four/five starters down on the line.
My question is, who played and filled in at guard so well?
Was it Ben Brown at LG, Anthony Bradford at RG, or some other mix? Olu maybe?
I'd be obliged for your help on this subject?

IRRC, for a few series or half, Seattle was using an entire Backup Oline because of Lewis or someone getting injured (wrist?)

Our line has been phenomenal given we're on 2nd and 3rd stringers out there. Definitely a well coached unit.

The entire line, including Olu getting some reps?
If so, I think that is a positive for later on in the season.

Yeah! Perhaps the best O-line group we have ever had?

Wellllllllllllll, the 2005 Seahawks would have a word. That could be the best line in NFL history. These kids are all very good though, no doubt in my mind the talent and drive are all there.

Agreed - That 2005 group had a lot of talent, plus a lot more experience than this current 2022/2023 group has to date.
Yet, something tells me that this current Seahawk's Offensive Line will be even more special, providing team management holds them together, and they all get the reps the need early on.
Remembering the Washington Redskins "Hogs" offensive line of the early to mid 1980's for example. How about a Center such as Pittsburgh's Mike Webster, who could "pull" more effectively than other team's guards could?
This particular line seems to be growing another dynamic all on it's own, and I am not sure what to call it yet, maybe...
Strength In Numbers? SIN?

Lewis twisted his ankle and missed a short period. Just a FYI.

Did you see something in particular that makes you say that?
'Cause I'm hoping you are right, far north.

Watching Bradford in for Haynes this last game caused me to smile at times as it appeared he is a true mauler with nasty intentions as a run blocker. I believe we will ultimately be happy with that pick.
He played through the whistle run blocking and wanted to put his man into the dirt each chance he had. I suspect he will be the starter before long and will replace Haynes who has had trouble staying healthy.
Can't wait to see the starters back playing and to see this OLine gel. That said the backup OTs have shown up and shown me much more at times than I thought they had.

Carolina is known to have a good front too don't they, making the effort look even better. This was such a difference from last year's loss to the Panthers where the Hawks lost the battle up front on both sides.
