I paid attention to him his at Washington, and in the draft, but after his rookie season I hadn't heard quite as much from him. From what I'd always heard, he was a pretty athletic tackle.

Is there any interest in a player like him for Seattle? I have to imagine we're interested in a tackle during this off season, and if tackle isn't where we are headed in the draft, this would at least allow some security, and allow us to address WR-QB or at least look at other options in the first round.

Any ideas or comments?

Nah

He statistically gives up the most sacks than any other OT in the NFL. I think WalterFootball has a link to that study

So he doesn't actually give up the sacks on teh field? What's the problem then?

Wow

That’s surprising if true. I did not know that.

Regardless, he was a part of a good run blocking offensive line, however I can’t even begin to pretend I know if he was a big reason for that or not. Was he?

I know coming out, he’s still young btw, that he was well regarded for his athleticism and movement.

If he’s not a bad player, signing a young tackle like him might not be a bad idea if you ask me.

Let's go.
