Did Seattle Seahawks Do Enough to Improve Offensive Line This Offseason?

After struggling through injuries and inconsistent performance in the trenches last season, the Seahawks made a concerted effort to improve their offensive line through free agency and coaching changes in the offseason. How much of a difference will those changes make in 2024? Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang welcome KJR Seattle host Ian Furness to take a deep dive into Seattle's new-look offensive line, including a wide-open right guard competition, break down the significance of the return of a healthy Abraham Lucas, assess the impact new line coach Scott Huff may have on the group, and more in a jam-packed training camp preview episode.

Hawks have all the potential in the world. I'm just hoping they can put it on the field

[@DanzoB79]

I think that the Seahawks' chances of beating the Lions actually got better this year. IIRC, the Mike Macdonald led Ravens held the high powered Lions offense to only 6 points last year.

[@robinsolari9551]

Good show!

[@KBilliez]

I’m also curious about our LB play, I know coach is a great LB coach but still a concern for me. Hopefully they surprise me!

[@scrapsdaddy]

Yes OL and LB are my big concerns,. Olu MUST deliver at C

[@FxckNxg]

@@scrapsdaddythere is depth at O line just because they aren’t big names don’t mean there not going to be good it was terrible last year with Evan brown and Austin Blythe the year before don’t think it can get worse then that

[@scrapsdaddy]

@@FxckNxg True, but deep doesn't necessarily mean good. Lots of youth. Injuries a concern. Thought we had tackles for a decade, now there's some question there as well as the interior. :loads of potential. Good ceiling, questionable floor.

[@ImYourDaddy253]

I think if Curtis doesn't win the RG position, then we should move him over to LG and let him start there!!! Dude is a straight BEAST!!! I can't wait till they put the pads on, and he can really show what he's all about! We actually have some good upside to our o-line that we haven't had in decades! I'm excited to see how the o-line shapes up over the next month and a half! Go Hawk's! 💙 💚🦅🏈

[@206legend3]

No let’s grab the FA from GB we could use him as well.!! We know he’s gonna cost but shit we need to get some momentum this year and moving forward.

[@Richard-il6wc]

Really enjoyed your guest. Great show. Although I do think Ian is underestimating Charbonnay's potential. Thanks again fella's. The Seahawks are gonna be really good and it's gonna be a blast! GO HAWKS

[@andrewnguyen307]

Awesome show

[@whitebird357]

If given a good opportunity, I would say that McIntosh could overtake Charbonnet, so, he won't take any snaps away from Walker, but he will get some. Charbonnet does not have the break away speed he had in his early career in college. Walker and McIntosh do.

[@iron_bison]

With respect mcintosh is not as explosive, never was as good as a college running back I'm not sure where you are thinking charbonnet gets passed over by him.

[@whitebird357]

@@iron_bison For the very reasons I mentioned. Go back and watch the UCLA and Geogia game tapes. That's just my opinion.

[@iron_bison]

I have and I like KM. But he was never the player or production machine ZB was.

[@Zaknyfein]

Well, if we didn't do enough to improve the O-line, we can just blame it on Geno...again!?

[@larrylindgren9484]

Seattle could go 7-2 or 2=7 to start just as easily. It could be a mightily struggle early just because new OC new DC. But by week 12 or 13 we'll start to see whether the team has a future or needs tons of help. People are dreaming if they think it's all going to click week one. Even if it all turns out to be perfect by week 17.

[@61Wolves-yt4yk]

I'm willing to bet Okung jumped off sides more than any linemen in history !!

[@Zaknyfein]

Go Cougs!

[@billytheweasel]

Focus on the real skill positions is edifying. I don’t spend my time viewing QB pron any more.

[@jamesmarkey5946]

I don't see it I see seven wins

[@jamesmarkey5946]

It's just a hunch I got to go with my gut

[@jamesmarkey5946]

Everybody has their price how about trading Bobo and stone foresight

[@brianmyers4444]

prediction.....Ryan Grubb leaves after one season to be new HC at Fresno St....

[@jayo2654]

Noooooooooooooo!😂

Explain yourself sir.

@@jayo2654 Fresno St coach Jeff Telford just left the team this week due to health issues…..using interim coach for the season they say…..Grubb perfect choice to replace next season….

[@jayo2654]

@@brianmyers4444 well I hope not, unless he ends up sucking which I don't think he's going to. Even then, just cause you struggle your first year, doesn't necessarily mean that you're not gonna figure it out. I feel like he's gonna stay but you never know.🤞
