The bulk is his greatest need along with the tutilage.
I've liked the move from day one. I think he will be great someday, the first Antonio gates of the offensive line in the NFL history.

Fant, Luke, Britt, Aboushi, Ifedi

LOL that's some funny stuff actually. It illuminates how Fd up our line has been for a few years. There wasn't a lot of swapping guys around in 2005 LMAOjshawaii22 wrote:It seems that musical OLine is still in full force and that's my biggest gripe. The fact the Fant is "only" working at Tackle? Can you imagine if this was the line in '95... Big Walt was trying out at right guard this week, but we'll know more in training camp. Hutch is working at Tackle and Guard, but his status is more then likely set... oh my ]
I hope Cable is right, this time.

As for what the line could end up looking like, Cable mentioned that there is currently a three-player rotation on the left side between Fant, Odhiambo and Joeckel, who is still limited because of the knee injury that cut short his 2016 season. While Odhiambo and Joeckel are options at left guard and tackle, Fant is sticking to left tackle, where he finished last season as the starter after taking over the job midseason. Mark Glowinski, last year’s starting left guard, moved back to the right side, though he’ll have to battle Aboushi for that job, while last year’s first round pick Germain Ifedi is now competing at right tackle, and while he would seem to be the favorite there, Pocic could be an option as well. Justin Britt, meanwhile, has become a leader not just of the line but of the entire offense since thriving in his move to center last year.
“I’m the most excited coach on the staff right now,” Cable said Friday after the Seahawks wrapped up their final session of organized team activities. “That’s what I’ve told Coach (Pete Carroll) and (general manager) John (Schneider)—I appreciate them putting this together in a year’s time and doing a fantastic job. Our personnel guys nailed this, so it’s just a matter of getting them in the right spots and going and playing ball.
“I’m excited as camp approaches. I think we’ve made some progress towards being ready to go to training camp. That means teaching the offense and getting the young kids involved. I think we’re right where we should be at this point… Really all those kids, from George to Germain to Rees, they all have matured a year. It’s kind of like a freshman in college. If you play them right away, it can be painful at times, but they make big strides, and they’ve done that. They’ve all matured and handled this thing really, really well.”

Now Marshawn is gone and our rush game left with him. Now we're seeing how bad our O-line is at protecting Russell without a serious run threat. Until I see different, Pete should have Cable on the hot seat this year. If he can't get the run game going and/or defend Russell Wilson, we need to look for a coach that can.

NO pads, no hitting.. basically it's something left of intramural football right now and our 8 million $ free agent isn't practicing at all. So, I doubt that they will know who is starting and where for quite awhile.
