OL '20

[chris98251]

We have seen it takes reps to get the O lines working together over the years when assembled with new pieces, and that time with OTA's and actual practices and then pre season and regular season happens about game 4 to 8. I say 4 to 8 because it depends on when they decide what the line up is actually, if it is at the start of pre season it is faster, but in other years it has taken till week 2 or 3 of the season.

This year with hardly any time for reps with each other who knows.

I wish we had more information on a couple of this year's prospects at offensive tackle. Cedric Ogbuehi and Chad Wheeler are two that come to mind.

It's just great being able to see TC in pads live. Have to say I am really pleasantly surprised at what I am seeing from the guys on O Line so far. But while they have been impressive so have Mayowa and Irvin in the one on ones.
Impressive? How bout Adams get the redzone pick of a Russ pass and taking it all the way to the house!!!!!
Just great stuff. So excited!

From what I'm seeing, tackle positions are settled, Iupati needs to be healthy, Lewis could be a rookie stud, and center is the giant flashing question mark.

Following up on the competition at the center position ..... Pete Carroll volunteered that he wants to see the competition at center sort itself out sooner rather than later. So there is a sense of urgency to identify a pecking order as to who is going to make those offensive line calls.

Brandon Shell...

Last year, the 6-foot-5, 324-pound Shell received a 64.7 pass protection grade in comparison to Ifedi's 63.3 and was also considered better in the run blocking department by nearly five full points.

Still, Shell's overall performance hasn't been great, especially when it comes to protecting his quarterback, as he surrendered seven sacks in 2019 and gave up six sacks in 2017.

Looking at how Shell's arrival may impact the rest of the offensive line, his presence could mean Jamarco Jones competes against Phil Haynes for the starting left guard role. A natural left tackle, Jones saw action in four starts at guard last season, including both of Seattle's playoff games.

So Shell is a known commodity, he is like a slight upgrade from ifedi at RT, make that very slight ...

Got to wonder if Jamarco could challenge Shell for the RT?

Here is a well organized review of the current state of competition along the offensive line via this link >>> [urltargetblank]https://www.fieldgulls.com/2020/8/18/21373375/pete-carroll-shares-updates-seattle-seahawks-offensive-line-competition-pocic-finney-lewis-haynes[/urltargetblank]

Super pumped about Lewis. A drafted lineman that will be a fixture for years out of the gate. Fits what Seattle wants to do as well.

 

[Fade]

They've upgraded the right-side. The leftside has me worried, Duane Brown, is going to get hurt, and they have nothing behind him.

Seattle will have to trade more picks to acquire a LT, after this season regardless.

They need to find a way to trade a 2nd & 3rd like they did for Duane Brown to get his replacement.

Iupati will probably be injured before Sep. Is out, but I like Phil Haynes and think he can do the job, so it isn't that urgent.

LT is the biggest need on offense going forward, and needs to be addressed ASAP.

 

[Jville]

An emphasis on flexibility during the off season could very easily make itself evident to those looking for it out of Brown and Iupati.

I'm feeling more positive about this year's conditioning priority what Mike Solari has working in 2020.

Jamarco?

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

I imagine we need a young stud LT soon.

But we aren’t likely to draft top 5 in the next 5 years or so.

But Duane Brown is not getting younger.

Hopefully, Jamarco Jones is the future stud we need.

 

[Jville]

It's still early in the training camp process.

The coaching staff is working thru the process of evaluating tackles Cedric Ogbuehi, Chad Wheeler and Tommy Champion. Building a team one day at a time. It's what training camp is about.

 

[Appyhawk]

You're right, that's what TC is about. But without any pre-season games it's like toffee says, when you are only going against yourself what do you really know? He's right that our O Line is looking pretty good against OUR D Line, but I don't think any of us equate our current D Line with what we'll see against SF, or the Rams, or Zona, or...
What we know so far is the odds look very good on Lewis being the real deal, Brown is a fixture, and so is Iupati. So we're 3/5 of the way to a starting 5. Shell looks like a lock to make it 4.
Sure hope we got the injury bug out of our system last year. Brown's flexibility focus is a great counter for that.
