Broken Record: Seattle Seahawks’ Offensive Line Continues to Sink Ship

As has been the case for most of the last decade, after watching Geno Smith get sacked seven times and pressured nearly 60 percent of his drop backs in a loss to the Rams, the Seahawks appear to have a major offensive line problem. Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang examine Seattle’s latest poor performance in the trenches and whether or not a quick fix can be found in time to salvage the season, tackle listener mailbag questions, including the future for Coby Bryant as a possible starter at safety, and dish out their Monday Musings in-depth takeaways after rewatching Sunday’s defeat.

  3. Wow can't believe they're talking about the great Connor Williams I been talking about this guy for 9 weeks And it has to get this bad for them to mention this man name Who told these men that Connor Williams No one because he's not The Cowboys ran this guy off. Miami didn't want him And the Media thought he was the next Matt anger Now they know why he Didn't have a team when they got him. Do your homework before you start Thinking players better than they are This guy is bad garbage.

  5. My expectations for this team weren't as high as most because they weren't that good last year and you add all the new NFL coaches, and new systems-I expected struggles in the first half of the season. I will reserve final judgement on the 2024 Seahawks after how they perform after the bye. The mistakes they are making are not uncommon with first time NFL coaches. Even with the poor OL play, fix all the unforced errors and you probably have 2-3 additional wins already.

  6. If the veteran O-linemen are going to play this poorly I'd rather bench em & let the young guys stuggle out there. Replace Tomlinson with Haynes, replace Williams with Oluwatimi, Bradford is young enough to hope he develops. As bad as they've been it cant get much worse and at least there's hope the young guys will improve with game experience and theres potential for long term continuity. Either way we need to draft guys who can play early and be willing to let them develop, easier said than done..

  7. I don't know if John Schneider is the leader to turn this around. Unless he issues a big mea culpa and admits he's been wrong about the value of offensive linemen he needs to go.

  9. Geno Smith throws for 363 yards 3td while getting pressured 59% of the plays…. Did he also throw 3 picks? Were those sacks HIS fault? Was it HIS fault he threw 3 picks? Yes but being asked to play hero ball is a recipe for disaster. And if we only need a yard, I wanna see charb on the field. Plain and simple, dude is a tank

  10. The Seahawks dismal play is the responsibility of one man that is the Gm look at this team as many high draft picks we have why are we having to sign free agent linebackers , defensive lineman and then the offensive line fire John he had had enough time to build a winner but another year of inferior talent compare that with the rams draft picks over the same period of time it not even close John is failing this team and he should have been fired with Pete never though John S was that great of a gm after 2014 it been down hill

  16. Obviously mid-season we're not gonna make any splashes getting any OL in so we gotta get creative with what we have.

    Move Connor to RG, his snapping has been abysmal and his slow get up allows him to get pushed back easily

    Put Olu in a C, can't be much worse. And hope Lucas is ready to play after the bye or hope Fant gets more healthier.

    I started Rams defense in fantasy and it worked out perfectly(as well as JSN), the team is a mess

  17. 16 Offensive Linemen drafted in the last 10 years. 3-4 "hits" – Cross, Lucas, Pocic and maybe Damien Lewis?
    Others: Haynes, Bradford, Oluwatimi, Haynes, Forsythe, Jones, Senior, Ifedi, Odiambo, Hunt, Poole, Glowinski (became serviceable elsewhere)
    That's a draft hit rate of 25%. Even if you generously only count picks from Rds 1-4 (11 picks in 10 years), 4 of 11 is a 36% hit rate.
    Hitting on 1 in 4 overall or 1 in 3 picks in the first 4 rounds isn't good enough. This is simply counting "serviceable" players. Pocic and Glowinski did better elsewhere, so its not just drafting, it's also coaching – at least past coaching.
