Yes, I've been a critic of this move because of the baggage attached, but hopefully this is something that will help his transition here.

Some college teams run out of the spread all the time, but Schofield specifically credits the use of combo blocks and arcing, split zone designs with backside actions that look notably familiar to an eye used to watching the Seahawks rushing game in action. It’s easy to recognize why Cable might value players tutored in these run concepts before joining the professional ranks......
Joeckel original draft profile also matches the hyper-explosive model Cable and Schneider have sought in linemen. But in this case Joeckel’s background in the Texas A&M-Jim Turner zone concepts—in a year when there are fewer trusted tackles or guards coming out of college—perhaps helped all the pieces fit together even better.
Huh, weird. Are you saying that maybe they might have their reasons for the decisions that they make and the players that they sign besides "OMG THEY R SO DUMB AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY R DOING AND THEY SUCK AND CABLE IS THE DEVIL FIRE BEVELL!!!" ?
