You wanted OL..They get one and most of you still cannot be happy..
Boo Hoo!I don't think it matters much who they get besides for a running game.
The sandlot QB has to change some things for it to really matter..Passing wise

*Team signs a guy who was already 76th of out of 78 in pass blocking without having ever even blocked for Wilson
Fans: it's already Wilson's fault that this guy can't pass block! This is what he deserves!
Uh, the first step to helping said QB change some things would be to, you know, sign a lineman that actually profiles as a good pass blocker outside of our system.

Ha. I just looked this up yesterday. Close. The combine had him at 36 3/4.

I had them taking one of Isaiah Wynn, Will Hernandez or Austin Corbett early for LG.
I’m still adamant this will happen despite the Fluker signing.
What do you do with Fant than? Assuming 100% he sure looked like he showed some definite promise. I don't think you want to sit him out another year from progression.
I think Fant will be valuable insurance as LT backup should Brown go down. Given his age i’d feel pretty comfortable having Fant ready to do should the worst happen.

A healthy Fant is too good not to progress IMO.
I do like the idea of having 1/2 starter level lineman in reserve in case of injury though.

What do you know of the player outside his PFF scores from last year.. because your opinion has done one of the quicker and more extreme 180s i've seen on here in some time
I know worse than Joeckel = potential destruction of our #1 asset and more bad habits which happens to piss me off. Sorry.I'll check out now since people don't understand what "I need to check means".
I don't think we need to vilify changing ones opinion, more people on the internet need to learn how to do that. I think everyone just gets tired of the constant negativity. I can't remember the last happy Seymour post I saw.

That is a fair point. Unfortunately, there has not been a ton of great Seahawk news the last month or so and I tend to sometimes react too quickly at times. I use humor to combat negativity, not all may get it. Anyway, I've fought for protection of Russell 3+ years now and found 3 sources all saying good run block poor pass block and that set me off.

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.

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

Thank you for the kind thoughts all. Another Hawk fan down cheering from above. RIP brother Craig.

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.

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.

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. Our run game would once again be a strength.
LT - Brown
LG - Wynn
C - Britt / Pocic
RG - Fluker

Pocic said today he's put on 20 pounds.He was listed at 309, so 329?
The interview was with two Baton Rouge radio guys, they said he looked huge compared to the last time they saw him.
