And now today: 2. Settling on and improving the offensive line.
The Seahawks must do this, and do it far earlier than they did last year.

Until then - and especially on the road - Bevell needs to get back to mixing in a short passing game to help offset the growing pains that'll come.
We did a nice job of this to close out the 2015 season, then got away from it.
A better run game should help this year, but clutch plays happen more through the air.

Yah, a more creative Offense, even if only by a little helps keep opposing Defenses off balance.
When all they have to do is stop the run knowing the OL can't pass protect, the Defenses have a huge advantage.
Changing things up makes them have to adjust and maybe make mistakes.

Pocic is going to give the entire line competition, and he could end up starting in a spot somewhere.
The Seahawks are a fascinating chemistry experiment. Right now, they’re my most interesting team to watch of 2017.

That isn't a guarantee of anything, but it is news that at least gives hope for improvement. It means he's been working hard at it, and he is a good athlete.

I have heard glowing things about Aboushi and Pocic from Ray Roberts and Brock Huard. Who knows... Ifedi seems to have regressed.

I hate it that Ifedi and Clark are missing valuable time, but this is as stern a message from PC as I've seen. Clark (and to some extent, Ifedi) have hurt not only themselves but the team...and their families, possibly their earning potential and last but not least, each of us.
