Yeah, backups made of cardboard cut outs☹️ I do love my team, but these guys…. I hope they start training for these guys, but when will we see them? 2035?!😞 Maybe we should go scout wrestlers or something (do they already do that? Idk. I knew Ken Walker wrestled🤷♀️).
How about middle school teachers? They gotta defend themselves from crazy kids. This would be perfect training!
That’s cuz they are backups 😂
"they look like back-ups"
I wish I would have come up with that phrase🤣
The Hawks seem unable to complete short 7 yard passes with the ease that most other teams do regularly. We're almost always going deep. You can't win games by throwing bombs all day.
What do you expect when aside from Cross, they’re a bunch of cast offs and washed ups from other teams?
Geno be top 3 with a top oline
Fisk is better than Murphy.
Ryan seems like an upgrade over Salk.
John Schneider is crushing it with the O line, as usual. I wonder if Christian Haynes will be a healthy scratch against next game.
Mina Kimes said that the 8.7 yard average to go on 3rd down is the worst in the NFL since 1980!!! These aren't backups. They have no business playing in the NFL. And Geno can't throw short because there is a helmet a couple yards from him before he can plant his back foot.
They look like backup because they are backups being paraded as starters…the right side of line are 4th rounder 7th rounder.
So both Schlereth and Baldinger talk about Coaching and Playcalling/Scheme. Maybe people will finally listen.
What do you expect to happen when you put Geno in Empty all the time, have him pass 40 times a game. Nobody passes as much as we do.
We're inviting teams to tee off on him.
Ob literally is a backup facts.
Geno is greedy and not good. Making Oline having to block extra long. Start Howell.
That's just how the Seahawks do business
Ouch. Hey John S. are you paying attention to Baldy?
As a backup offensive lineman I'm highly offended by Baldinger's comment! 😆
This is he problem with football coaches in game decision -making; ours do this all the time and we have for a while now( with Pete too) Ryan Grubb has obviously disappointed so far I expected much better scheming from Grubb several bad calls especially at crunch time and this " check with me at the line " is not buying us anything ,,, they look poorly coached
remember how the 90s cowboys fix the problem of losing? they got better o line and troy wasn't gettin killed
Geno is a back up get rid of him asap!!!
This is exactly what I said about Tomlinson when he was acquired. It's pretty obvious that O-Line doesn't matter to Schneider. If it did he would do something about the problem instead of the same old thing over and over again.
IF BRIAN BALDINGER SAYS THEY LOOK LIKE BACKUPS , THEN THE SEAHAWKS GENERAL MANAGER JOHN SCHNEIDER SHOULD BE FIRED
Redskins won 3 SB with different QB, different RB but same O-line!
It’s crazy that this is the O-Line that they went into the season with. And people get paid to make these decisions?!?
Grubb needs to implement more screens and quick passes to help this oline. Maybe even run more 11 and 12 personel. Similar to what slowik did for the texans last year
They look like backups because they are!!! 😂
Well that ended Abruptly
I mean, weird take i guess. Laken has been top 26 guards in the NFL barring the first 2 weeks. Cross has been great thus year. Williams is a mess, Bradford took a massive step back this season, and we're literally on our 4th string RT.
RG And RT are a majority of our pressures, and you can't plan for 3 players getting injured at RT nor your RG who was average last season being arguably the worst in the league this year.
This crap has been going on since Carrol and Schneider were hired…jeezus, remember they hired Tom Cable to coach the O line? He actually took defensive lineman and tried to re-train them! Now they just take big, slow, fat slobs who can't block. Pathetic.
Backups is giving these dudes too much credit !
Well it's the truth
The oline for the seahawks are not that good. They should cut those guys and start over.
This might be the first time Schneider actually hears and sees how bad the o line is. No hiding from it now. Fix it or someone else will
