Ethan Pocic

How in the world is Pocic not good enough to start on this line?

Who's Evan Pocic?

It's early here.

Ifedi played alright. Part of it was who he was facing. Odhiambo was an obvious weak link, but Glowinski and Joeckel had their share of struggles too.

Pocic doesn't have a lot of experience outside of center, which made this such a curious pick. He started one game at RT in the last two years. He played right guard three years ago. He has no experience on the left side of the line.

I think they should give him a shot a LT just to see what he can do. After a couple games, he should be blocking better than Odhiambo.

Not sure experience is a qualification.

I thought he was awful and the weakest link on the line.

NFL UK was actually making fun of him. I'd have laughed if I wasn't already crying.

lfedi was not alright... as a matter a fact he was downright awful as expected. Now I don't know how pocic would play but at this point anything is better than what I saw yesterday

But Cable said we weren't going to move guys around like last season, he learned his lesson. :lol:

Nah, Ifedi held up alright. Clay Matthews did basically nothing against him all game long.

Odiahmbo, on the other side, was blitzkrieged. Mike Daniels made Joeckel look pretty bad too.

LT REES ODHIAMBO, 29.8 OVERALL GRADE
It was a tough day for Odhiambo, who is replacing George Fant in the lineup after a preseason injury sent Fant to IR. Lining up for much of the game against experienced pass-rusher Nick Perry, Odhiambo surrendered 1 sack, 2 QB hits, and 3 QB hurries as the passing game struggled to get in to a rhythm for the majority of the game.

What did Clay Matthews do against Ifedi?

Then he should learn to evaluate talent and get it right the first time. Even the second or 3rd time would be refreshing.

Cable has some say, but Schneider and Carroll pick the players. I think they should have picked more players, signed better veteran free agents, and/or re-signed James Carpenter and Russell Okung. We are spending much less on offensive linemen than any other team.

BS.
We've been over and over this time and time again. Do some research. Cable picks his players, and has more say than anyone who plays for him.

I thought this team was built on competition. Guess it doesn't apply to the line.

It might say something that in 2013 and 2014, the Seahawks had one of the higher paid O-lines in the league and were still ranked around 20th overall.

Link?

Also, what do you mean Cable has more say than anyone who plays for him?

So who do we give up? Spending more on the OL means we have to let some others go. Average OLineman are getting paid a kings ransom.

Upon re-watching the game, I counted just one pressure yielded by Ifedi.

On the left side of the defense, Clay Matthews had zero sacks, QB hits, or tackles for loss.

I readily admit this had more to do with Clay Matthews' regression as a player than it did with Ifedi's play at RT. But Ifedi was OK. Even on the couple plays when Nick Perry was rushing from the left side, Ifedi held up alright.

I think they have to choose between paying high-priced veterans or drafting more heavily at the position group. As it stands, they are doing neither.

In this last draft, for example, they could have selected LT Cam Robinson and RT Taylor Moton.
