I understand what you are saying but I think the targets have moved from year to year based on injuries, mainly Bradford, who was available in the draft and what they were trying to get done with the limited talent they have had at any given time. They tried opening things up for a few games with Schotty and didn't have the talent to do that. They got TA and Britt but didn't have a guy who cold get them the ball on time. They got Gurley and the oline can't hold a block for 2 seconds.
I think that is part of the problem. I am of the mind that you have to be steadfast in your plan regardless. Injuries are an inevitability in the NFL. That is why the draft is so important as to how you build your team depth wise. They have done a decent job with depth along the DL, but I don;t see much depth anywhere else on the roster. They would have had depth on the OL had they drafted better players. Now it seems they have a bunch of backup caliber players starting.
I would agree with that for every position except QB. If your starter isn't healthy you're done and that is what killed the rebuild the last 3 years IMO.
12 top 100 offensive picks and 4 top 10 picks. That doesn't warrant an extension.
Sounds like they are not as tight as previously.
Is it a lack of talent or a lack of coaching of talent.I feel it is much more the latter
Gosh, I hope this isn't the case. If it is, who's directing a well seasoned position coach to do something he may be against? Talk about problems.
Maybe he only had a golden touch when the players were good? This possibility also concerns me... is it the coach... or is it the players.. or is it the scheme?
Seattle has had 23 offensive players drafted since Pete Carroll took over (not including 2016 draft).
I think it's a bit of both. I'll add, I'm not too sure we have a very cerebral group either because there seems to be a bunch of confusion as to blocking assignments during a game. For instance, when the DE slants inside and the DT loops around, you'd think the LG and LT would "pass-off" each other's defender rather than chase the guy he was initially supposed to block. Or, if the RG and Center are supposed to block the guy in their gap before sliding up to the LB'er, rather they both ignored him and stepped right to the LB'er. I would think this kind of crap gets fixed watching film, but it's obvious it doesn't because it continues to happen. No disrespect, but I think our O-Line guys are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
