OBS has surprised me, I thought he was just camp fodder while Irvin is out but he could another diamond forged from the coal. He was also pretty solid last year but got buried beneath the depth. Again, he reminds me of 2010 Chris Clemons.
I think the Seahawks will absolutely keep Mayowa , if they feel Avril can't be extended. He's also a pet project, I also don't think, he has done as bad as many think, I just feel last year their were no expectations of him and their really were no key players available to compare him to.
Clemons and Avril did not play in the PreSeason.
Irvin was injured and learning SAM.
Seahawks had both Malcolm Smith and Mike Morgan taking LEO snaps but they're better LBers than pass-rushers.
OBS played as well but he was kind of learning on the fly at the time and I think he was still playing LB.
We also don't know what the coaches are asking Mayowa to do, he could be out their specifically trying to strengthen his biggest weaknesses, like Irvin back in 2012 where they forced him to work on his bull-rush. I could see the same for Mayowa, who is also still adjusting at playing 15-20 pounds heavier.
