Who is in the lead for starting jobs on the Seahawks? The Seattle Seahawks are less than a month from the 2018 regular season opener in Denver against the Broncos. The depth chart is starting to become a little more clear Bradley McDougald Jersey , though a lot can still change between now and then. The following is an August 14 best-guess as to the first 11 on offense, first 11 on defense, and key special teamers could be when that Week 1 game comes.This is just a guess. Although, it is my best guess.OffenseQB - Russell WilsonRB - Chris CarsonWR - Doug BaldwinWR - Tyler LockettWR - Brandon MarshallLT - Duane BrownLG - Ethan PocicC - Justin BrittRG - D.J. FlukerRT - Germain IfediTE - Nick VannettSummary:I don’t think Ed Dickson will be ready for Week 1, so Vannett gets the start. No reason at this point to make a change at right guard or right tackle because the backups haven’t done enough to warrant a change yet.I do think that Jaron Brown could be a starter. I just had to make a choice.If both are healthy, Carson and Rashaad Penny may end up with a nominal difference in snaps and touches.DefenseDE - Frank ClarkDT - Jarran ReedDT - Tom JohnsonDE - Quinton JeffersonILB - Bobby WagnerOLB - KJ WrightCB - Shaquill GriffinCB - Justin ColemanCB - Byron MaxwellFS - Tedric ThompsonSS - Bradley McDougaldSummary:I think in today’s NFL it’s more important to mention a slot corner as a starter than it is an outside linebacker. Barkevious Mingo could get a lot of snaps and could play both DE and LB and wherever they need him at the time. Maybe he does get starter snaps, but Pete Carroll recently mentioned Jefferson as a guy who would be in the regular d-line rotation if the season started now and isn’t that a bit more exciting to mention than Mingo? It would be a cool story at least for a guy who couldn’t get on the field in his first two seasons. Jefferson may be the years-later Red Bryant replacement.Thompson seems to be the starting safety if Earl Thomas doesn’t return, beating out Delano Hill and Maurice Alexander.I wonder how far up the depth chart Akeem King could get.Nazair Jones is the name more people want to see, but he’s dealing with injuries again already and Johnson is a steady veteran presence who is good enough to start. It’s a rotation Cheap Germain Ifedi Jersey , anyway, and “starter” is just a title. It’s not always even the best player, it’s a situational thing.Special TeamsK - Sebastian JanikowskiP - Michael DicksonLS - Tyler OttKR - Rashaad PennyPR - Tyler LockettSummary:Not sure on the return jobs, but this seems fair. We’re six weeks into the 2018 Seattle Seahawks season, with the team sitting at 3-3 after the unwanted but not entirely unexpected 0-2 start. They’re off this Sunday and will resume action on October 28th against the Detroit Lions, as the Seahawks look to defy critics and make a serious push for the playoffs.It’s a quiet weekend for us due to the bye, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a nice, wholesome discussion about what we’ve seen up to this point!The question is simple: What has surprised you most out of this Seahawks team? It can be negative or positive, the main thing is something you didn’t expect heading into Week 1.For me http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/bobby-wagner-jersey-authentic , I really don’t have another clear-cut answer other than...The substantial improvement of the offensive lineIf I were to tell you that the Seahawks offensive line would go from laughing stock of the NFL in 2017 to one of the best in the league in pass-blocking one season later, you’d think I was trolling you. Duane Brown and Justin Britt have both proven to be among the better players at their respective positions, but everyone else was still a major question mark. J.R. Sweezy was a career right guard whom through injury has ultimately usurped Ethan Pocic at left guard. Oh yes, and he’s coming off consecutive season-ending injuries. D.J. Fluker was written off as a bust when he was with the San Diego Chargers, showed some promise as a run-blocking right guard with the New York Giants, but he too was returning from season-ending injury. Then there’s Germain Ifedi, much-maligned at both guard and tackle through his first two seasons, and no doubt frustrating the coaching staff with repeated penalty problems in training camp and preseason, never mind his bad habits in the actual meaningful games.After a brutal start to the season with Russell Wilson getting sacked 12 times — some of these sacks were admittedly on the quarterback — Wilson has been sacked only seven times over the last four games. The Seahawks rank tops in the NFL from Weeks 3-6 in pass-blocking efficiency Youth Will Dissly Jersey , courtesy of Pro Football Focus. I know that PFF’s grading system can be a little shaky, but since it’s a good stat about Seattle, I’ve determined it’s good. Also, even the ol’ eye test largely backs up that Wilson has seldom been running for his life and under constant pressure over the past month.One area where Pete Carroll has to be the most thrilled with Mike Solari’s group is the running game. Yes, the Seahawks may only rank 18th in DVOA on the ground (five spots higher than last year), but dig a little deeper and you’ll see drastic gains in select situations.According to Football Outsiders, last year’s Seahawks ranked 31st in Adjusted Line Yards, 27th in Power Blocking (short-yardage situations, essentially) http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/duane-brown-jersey-authentic , 32nd in Stuffed Rate, 28th in Second-Level Yards, and 21st in Open Field Yards. This year’s Seahawks, at least through 37.5% of the season, are 17th in Adjusted Line Yards, 2nd in Power Blocking, 7th in Stuffed Rate, 19th in Second-Level Yards, and 17th in Open Field Yards. There are still some average to mediocre stats in there Youth Michael Dickson Jersey , but they’re elite in short-yardage conversions, and not repeatedly losing yards or suffering no gain. I highly recommend checking out Doug Farrar’s breakdown of Solari’s transformation of this unit, although credit also has to go to the players for executing at a baseline level of competence, Ifedi in particular has looked much more confident in recent weeks.It’s not the world’s largest sample size, but it’s been a pleasant surprise to see just how well this offensive line has played. Fluker in particular has stood out above everyone else, and unlike Luke Joeckel, this one-year “prove-it” deal has been a major success that leads you to believe that keeping him beyond 2018 is a top priority for the Seahawks front office.
