Again, I'd like to see Beavers get a shot at LG. It would be the biggest, strongest OL we've had since forever. I got really, really tired of watching those 6'6 ballerina twinkle toes gaurds literally just get shoved out of the way like a rag doll last year. Joekel and Pocic were just bad. Both of them severely lacking strength to play in the interior. Maybe Pocic puts on a lot of muscle, but I think he's the backup RT at this point who can play gaurd in a pinch. Dude needs to hit the weights as bad as Fant did.

Amen!! Although it has been stated that Pocic has been bulking up, I would like to see what he has to offer @ C. If he can show he has what it takes to start, then trade Britt for a draft pick. It would be nice to land a true stud in the draft, there is some solid interior lineman in this draft, with our draft capital being so poor in the early rounds, and probably having to trade down, unlikely to happen (my pipe dream), I wish we could land Isaiah Wynn & Nick Chubb :drool: . Our run game would once again be a strength.

LT - Brown
LG - Wynn
C - Britt / Pocic
RG - Fluker
RT - Ifedi

Do we know yet what Fluker's contract looks like? I'm going to throw my computer through a window if it looks anything like Joeckel's did last year. What a joke that was.

Not yet.

My best guess is $3-4M.

Good informative interview and background from Paul Dottino, of WFAN who covers the New York Giants gives some insight on Mike Solari and DJ Fluker who are new to the Seahawks organization. >>> [urltargetblank]http://sports.mynorthwest.com/category/podcast_player/?a=10028938&sid=1014&n=Bob%2C+Groz+and+Tom[/urltargetblank]

Boy ...... watching Fluker is going to be fun.

Wow! That guy from NY makes Fluker sound like a road grader. Should be fun to watch him.

I think it might be fun to run right at Aaron Donald 20 plays a game against the Rams and watch him and Fluker go at it.

Was thinking of you last night, Seymour.

Hope your brother got a great sendoff. As I said in my PM, always here for a chat.

+1, surprised it's that low. Now hopefully he plays well and it makes up a little for the horrific Joekel signing last year :shock:

Luke the "best guard in the league" Joeckel might have to sign for league minimum this season just so he remains in the league. So far he is a free agent and no suitors.

Yeah I've been wondering what was up with Joeckel. Sad that we signed him for so much and after he played for us no one has signed him yet. Oh well.

Fluker-wise, that seems like one heck of a bargain signing. Not much downside, if any.

I’m amazed he went for a deal like that.

With the offensive lineman problem this league has you’d struggle to convince me that another team wouldn’t have paid him more than this.

He must really want to be here (with Solari). Good for him, hope he works out.

Seems like the first good OL move, cap-wise, in a while.
