IMO, should have been the #1 priority in the offseason, without question.

If he is playing good and healthy after 12 games, then there will be plenty of crow to eat.
Til' then, meh.

I don't think anyone hated Okung or thought he was a bad player. He just couldn't stay healthy and we ended up having to play guys like Alvin Bailey a few times a season. Plus the odd annoying false start penalty.

But what we are going to find out, is that having to find a replacement 3 games a season is still worth it if the guy can help you in the playoffs.
If Okung gets injured in Denver and misses 3 games, but Denver has a rock wall in the playoffs do you think it will matter?
Great sometimes is better than never great. All the games with Sowell vs half the games with Okung should be an easy decision for any football player to make. We are finding that out now.
Okung gets hurt. But he plays well when he isn't and the gain is worth way more than the risk.
Denver got a good deal and for some reason we left a gaping hole on our team that is hurting both the run and pass game we have now.

I'm a Russell Okung hater, and if he were still on the Seahawks he'd be playing as crappily as he did when he was here. Hey, it might not be Okung's fault, it's probably Cable's. Okung isn't the only one who has thrived on the OL for a different team. Hello James Carpenter, I'm talking to you fella.
I can't explain why other than to say it looks like a lot of offensive linemen leave the Seahawks and play much better. Good for Okung for doing what he did, but we had no reason to keep him here from what I saw last year.

I think the argument would be that if the hawks were going to cut their losses with Okung, why did they not draft a LT rather than pick up a poor back up quality stop gap as starter? If Ifedi is the drafted LT of the future, i'd play him there now. LT is too important of a position to mess about with projects on in my opinion.

No craps were given today about Okung or the Broncos O line. He was barely above average when he was here and actually on the field, if he breaks out with Denver good on him.

This.
The question was never is Okung a good to great LT, he's a top 10 LT.
The question Pete and John had to answer in the off season was the same question they had with Unger........................ "is Okung and his can't seem to go a season without missing games worth the cap space?"
If Okung stays healthy, then Denver got a hell of a deal. If he does what he did here, hurt himself and miss major time, then no.
Personally I think we should have kept him, especially after the horrible deal Okung negotiated for himself.

Okung chose Denver to get out of Seattle's system which he was mediocre and always injured in. Last year was the most consistent in his career here, what a coincidence, a contract year.
He is playing in a different offense, next to different players, so what? He would still be the same if he was in Seattle...mediocre. A first round draft choice that couldn't even sniff Walt's jock from his rehab center.
