How Will Klint Kubiak's Hiring Affect Seattle Seahawks' Offensive Line?

Taking over as the Seahawks new play caller, one of Klint Kubiak's biggest priorities will be doing his part to help an offensive line that struggled throughout the 2024 season. How much will his arrival shake things up in the trenches? Host Corbin Smith examines Kubiak's history schematically and how it could lead to personnel changes in free agency, the draft, and in-house, answers listener mailbag questions, and takes a look at Seattle's 2022 draft class in regard to potential extensions beyond 2025.

You know what Corbin, you changed my mind about Woolen. I felt like he was the player that I thought had the most disappointing season but he didn't really have that bad of a season and I didn't take into account that it was a whole new scheme for him that probably required a lot more thinking. I think he deserves more time now, especially with his upside.

[@bionic3]

Becton would be the play as a piece who can transform the line the way he's done in Philly and is still young. He checks all the boxes Schneider likes if the price is right. Then Lucas Patrick makes a lot of sense as a guy familiar with Kubiak and is a good to above average starter.

[@Richard-il6wc]

Great show. Thanks. Go Hawks

[@sleepshakeow8068]

Outstanding work, Corbin. This is a great video.

[@3Gunzdeep]

Is the wide zone from shotgun? Cause Geno trips on lineman’s feet when he doesn’t trip on his own.

[@jaredmagnus2376]

There is a major difference in tripping and having your center step on your foot after he snaps the ball which happened multiple times this year. Not Geno’s fault when the center can’t control his elephant feet.

[@CaseyLynn-i7u]

I hope he works just like I hoped Grubb would have. But with Kubiak's past failures if he lasts 2 years in Seattle, I'll be shocked because he does last longer than that everywhere he's been. If he was any good, he doesn't get fired every year.

[@wrsawy]

Lot of "if's" and "maybe's" The offensive line has been bad for many years, with different coaching staff, philosophy and personnel. Schneider has been a complete failure when it comes to the offensive line. So many misses in the draft. His comment about "doesn't like to pay guards" shows his incompetence in this area.

[@FeelItRising]

what are these Lucas 'injuries'. As far as I know it was one injury and he came back from it.

[@dubgaming410]

2024 Abdomen and knee and that knee been bugging since 2022

[@jenmazz1257]

Bradford is a bust and drew a lot of penalties. I hope Coach Mike drags John through broken glass if we don’t improve our IOL 😂

[@12seahawks12]

Dear God can we please get rid of bradford.

[@JonathanKing-i5r]

Shanahan came from the Kubiack tree

[@duanekelly-fe5bt]

We're on the same page.

[@Rumaldo2008]

i want hawks to sign teven jenking n dalton risner n draft a tackle that can play both tackle n guard

[@dwinegardner8251]

I hope Russel Wilson does not come back, no ill will. I think we need to move on from Russ

[@douglasthompson9482]

I believe Russell will be going to the Raiders…. Just a matter of time.

[@margieoakes3092]

Don't do anything at QB until Sam Howell has been given his chance with the first team. Geno is overdue for an serious injury and won't be available. Get Sam ready! This years team with Sam at the helm could go all the way. The best move would be to unload Geno and Walker and free up some cap space to shore up the o-line and upgrade the tight ends. Go watch the 2023 Washington games vs. Denver or Philadelphia. You will see what Sam Howell is all about. While you are at it watch the Seattle game too! Sam is Seattle's future and if you make the right moves with the cap space Seattle could Dominate! POMO

[@sven_cb1]

I agree on nearly everything you said, I'm a big fan of your work, cause it helps when you are from europe (germany) to find out a lot about what happens in and around the seahawks organisation. BUT I absolutely disagree on Kenneth Walker. I would love to trade him. In my opinion he is overrated, has a bad vision and is just a homerun hitter when the O-Line gives him at least 5 Yards of space. He is just not explosive + inside run ability is bad!

[@jaredmagnus2376]

Not worth it at all not to mention no team is going to trade for a running back on the last year of his rookie contract. About a 1% chance that will happen.

[@sven_cb1]

@jaredmagnus2376 Maybe the Cowboys or a team where the coach or the culture puts the value of a runningback so much higher than it is on other teams. In other words: Steelers (by culture) or Chargers (by Harbaugh) But even if I just keep Walker, I'm fine cause I only calculated with a 5th rounder.

[@CaseyLynn-i7u]

Russ? Why Geno is better.

[@douglasthompson9482]

From what I have seen, Sam Howell should be traded. I see no reason to keep him, he will not take over from Geno. Comments please…

[@margieoakes3092]

Have you done your homework on Sam Howell or are you just looking for someone to dump on? You haven't seen much if you think Sam needs to be traded! Watch the 2023 Washington games against Denver and Philadelphia. You will see all you need to see on Sam Howell's abilities! POMO
