Sorry, John's evaluation of Free Agent and Drafted Oline sucks. And this "New Approach" looks eerily similar to the last 10 years.

Ray Roberts today said the same thing. And he said the same thing about Zone Scheme and what they are saying. I am sure Ray knows a bit more about online scheme and coaching vs. talent than John does. I like a lot of what John has done this off season outside the Oline. John is just so poor with selecting and evaluating the offensive line.

I'm fine with giving Haynes the starting job at RG, but i hope they'll have a better backup plan than Bradford/Laumea in case he can't hack it.


Yeah, I don't think it's giving him the job as much as they aren't going to bring in someone else to give it to. So the question is how to create that competition

Arguing JS's approach has changed this off season
In short, this is just different than what we’re used to. The safe has not been retained, the risk has been sought. I’m old enough to remember when Schneider could get four backup tackles for one year of Cooper Kupp, and be proud to do it.

I’d not go as far as to say Schneider has put his job on the line for this year, but it leaves the team’s 2025 outlook barely predictable. Far more, it’s the polar opposite of a rebuild. Each of these moves has the ability to contribute to massive win potential, while leaving picks and dollars still on the table. There’s almost as big a chance they all flop, but the bet is different this year.

Instead of betting that a guy could go from roster-bubble to solid contributor at best, the bet is on three guys with All-Pro talent and one plus-contributor on explosive plays.

Huh? What has changed on the Offensive Line? Are you honestly saying we have never brought in big name skill position players before? Traded for Lynch, traded for Harvin, traded for Graham, traded for Adams, traded for Sheldon Richardson. I don't give a shit if they were traded for or FAs, the O Line is the issue, and he did Jack and Shit, just like he always does. Name a move we made on the O Line? I dare you.

His philosophy has changed? Bullshit, he has scraps on the O Line, and is telling us that simply firing the Offensive Coaches and bringing new ones will change it. I guess it worked before right? Bates, Bevell, Schotty, Waldron, Grubb....just moved the deck chairs around and expects it to save the ship. This O Line will suck, and I am not sure what Kupp and a few other FA signings that don't play O Line have to do with that?
Think what he's getting at is he's going more high risk high reward kind of player, guys like, DeMarcus Lawrence, Kupp and Darnold. I agree this looks like the opposite of a rebuild

Again, Teven Jenkins would probably be more a high risk high reward guy

They are bringing in Dillon Radunz who doesn't seem that impressive, also Lucas Patrick

If Paul was still with us- Would JS be unemployed by now or ?
I can give you a decent answer to this, since he was a WSU '70s Phi Kap like me, and more than 40 years ago I was his insurance agent the first time he bought insurance...and my first wife was his personal secretary for about six years at Asymetrix.

Even though Paul was a good guy, quiet mostly, but liked a good laugh, he was stone-cold ruthless in business. The only loyalty I was convinced he possessed was to his vision, his philanthropy, his family, his bff Phi Kap bro and right-hand man, Bert Kolde, to our WSU fraternal chapter, and to an intense desire to win at whatever he did.

Therefore, I respectfully suggest JS would be gone by now, and I think we would have had better teams the past few years.

I know there's complaints but overall the Seahawks have been a well run organization. I don't think it be loyalty as much as Allen understanding the value of stability. I think they would continue to be a team

Thanks for the intel- JS is just so stubborn/headstrong with the O/Line decisions and it just seems to repeat itself year after year -

How many playoffs in the last 6 years? How many playoff wins? We’ll run??? Better than the mariners yes. But, if playoffs are the goal or winning in the playoffs it isn’t we’ll run.
