It made sense to put Jones against Donald. Brilliant i fact.
Donald is a technician. Jones can match that. Fluker is a brute.

I think that could be quite the understatement.toffee":2c8qltqd said:Come to think of it, Hunt's performance isn't far off from our starting center, and Jamarco and Fant could probably replace Ifedi. We may see some movement in OL roster next season.

Mike Iupati, Joey Hunt, Germaine Ifedi and George Fant will all be unrestricted free agents.
Duane Brown will have a $12.5m cap hit with no guaranteed money left - and turn 35 before the season begins. Few pro bowl LTs play past age 34.
Justin Britt will have an $11.6m cap hit with no guaranteed money left.
DJ Fluker will have a $3.5m cap hit with no guaranteed money left.
Our best value assets under contract could well be Pocic $1.4m, Haynes $0.75m, and Jones $0.7m.

Hell, his pass pro may have been the difference between the Donald show early and Wilson having time later on.
What's the case for even putting Fluker back in? I mean it's one performance, but my vote is we see if he can replicate it before we pull that man off the field. It's not like he was crappy at run blocking either. The way he used his long arms was just exquisite, as was his footwork, I can see why he played tackle in college.
I think this is Fluker's last year on contract. If we can get him on the cheap, he might be a back-up behind Jones.

Fluker signed a two year deal this last offseason. Don't think he's going anywhere real soon.
Going forward it may just be that the Hawks have a solution for slowing Donald down, play a T opposite him to even the quickness differential.

I don’t care where he plays, but from now on, he needs to be out there.

You'd have to be very desperate to throw starter money at a Seahawks Backup tackle. Now someone will likely be stupid enough to do that for Ifedi, whose only strength so far has been availability.
I think we will re-sign Fant and Hunt next year. I think the OL looks like this: Brown, Pocic, Britt, Haynes, Jones next year.
