first off we paid too much for him, flat out paid too damn much and that part still confuses me... he wasnt being heavily pursued by any other teams, yes there was interest but not enough for his agent to leverage a deal like that... this move has Tom Cable written all over it lol people forget how much pull he has as not just the OL coach but the assistant head coach as well... hes the type of guy Cable loves, someone that has shown ability but is still raw, Cable loves to mold guys his way and not have to really deal with changing other things that NFL OC coaches have taught them, he prefers guys who are willing to basically start all over and trust in him that he will do whats right for them... whether its right or its wrong, its just the way he does things, its why we dont go for long term vets from other teams and if we do they dont end up sticking around very long or they end up struggling... Joeckl actually played more than decent at guard before he got hurt this last time around, he really didnt look bad at all, left tackle is where he struggled and i dont think he will be playing that position for us with Cables love affair with Fant still being a real thing... if health allows him then i think he will be an above average contributor on our OL and thats really all we can ask at this point, someone competent, willing to do whatever Cable says to play within our zone blocking system and be able to switch to man to man when we go to that as well, and a guy that has something to prove who will be playing with a chip on his shoulder... he checks all those boxes... i think by the middle of the season our OL, if healthy, will be better than expected... we wont be world class by any means lol but we will be serviceable and thats all we really need ... cant wait for football season!!!

people tend to forget that when we won the Super Bowl our OL was the most expensive in the NFL... we completely went away from that though and its been frustrating as hell... i think we got some surprises this year tho, i wouldnt be shocked to see Oday Aboushi make his way to the starting lineup if we struggle early on OL and hes got that mean streak in him, the type i want on our OL in the red zone trying to pound the ball in for 6 points... him and Glow seem to like to get real mean down on the 1 and 2 yard line ive noticed
i guess im thinking 2013 lol... i just looked up the Eagles line and they were not the most expensive in 2013 or 2014

This will be the best Seahawks D of all time. The move for Richardson is perfect. He can either be a rental for McDowell or a full replacement. If we end up not resigning him he is a 1 year rental at a cost of move from 2nd to 3rd round (we will get a conditional back for him if he doesn't resign) and Kearse. If he stays then the McDowell injury is a lot lower stakes.

You know it's bad when Joe Buck and Aikman are saying that Seahawks are getting screwed by bad officiating. Should be 17-7 right now, two TDs off the board.
Other than the horrible officiating, Seahawks offensive line looks terrible, no run blocking at all pass protection piss poor. Defense has been outstanding holding the Packers but that won't last forever if the offense can't stay on the field.
