Haawkblogger game review

The thing that mattered most in this game was how the starting offensive line played. ................The starting Seahawks offensive line gets nearly a perfect grade from me after the first game. Pass blocking was more than adequate, and the interior run blocking was superb. The strength of this line are the two young starting guards, Mark Glowinski and Germain Ifedi.

The savory truth revealing itself from this game is that Justin Britt may be transforming from liability to lion.

Those three players were gashing the Chiefs interior line that featured Dontario Poe. Britt was blocking his man ten yards downfield in some cases. Russell Wilson said after the game that this was as good as the offense has looked at this point in the preseason since he has been here. He is right. The story is that the offense is shining with the help of the line, instead of in spite of it.

It would absolutely be an overreaction to declare the line fixed. It would also be an underreaction to dismiss what they did as just a preseason game against a Chiefs team that was sitting some starters. Anyone who saw this team play last year knows the line was more than capable of looking terrible against just about anyone. This was an encouraging first step that the team can build on.

It was good to see, however.....one pre-season game does not a season make.
