Not really sure if Lucas is ahead of Cross, as Cross usually draws the top rusher, but Lucas is sure damn good and handles his pass-pro business there on the right side. Love em both. I suppose a Lucas vs Cross who's better thread could be interesting, who's better as a run blocker/pass blocker, etc. Anyone know if such a thread already exists?
Apparently, the Seahawks staff disagree with you.
Great rushers line up all over nowadays. Bosa usually goes against the RT for instance.
Good topic for another thread! I know that D coordinators move their best pass rushers around to take advantage of perceived favorable matchups, but am curious if any stats are kept about where rushers actually line up. The left tackle is generally perceived to face the top pass rushers, right handed QB's blind side and all, but never seen any actual data on matchup difficulty that O-Linemen face. Anyone know if such a stat is kept anywhere? Something like Pass-pro win rate, adjusted by the quality of pass rusher faced? Or maybe that stat is not kept anywhere but is informally known by the team and factored into contract negotiation talks?
"Apparently" I wasn't even forecasting Ahlers being a >>Seahawks<< #3 backup, there WILL BE OTHER Quarterback needy teams.

Seahawks put WR Dareke Young on IR
The Seahawks announced a handful of roster moves on Monday afternoon.
OK, the Ahlers Hype Train is back on the track. Clearly Pete has identified Ahlers as the QBOTF. I am every bit as excited about Ahlers as I was about Alex McGough, the one who got away. If only Pete could have seen the chemistry between McGough and Kasen Williams, it was going to be the next Montana-to-Rice, but Pete dumped them both. That's OK, now we'll have Ahlers-to-Bobo rewriting the record books by the 2024 season!
Seriously now, if Ahlers hits the roster it will only be for a few weeks to keep other teams from signing him off our PS. If he sees any actual snaps this season it would only be because of bad QB1/QB2 injury news, and or garbage time in a blowout. Next year we could conceivably lose either Geno or Lock so having a potential QB2 in development seems reasonable.
I guess it means the Hawks weren't dazzled enough by this BC Lions Nathan Rourke fellow to steal him from the Jags onto the active roster. Smart plan, let Doug Pederson, CJ Beathard, and Trevor Lawrence coach him up and mentor him for a few weeks into the next Warren Moon before we steal him.
