Are the Seahawks that disappointed by their prospects for the third CB? It appears that the lack of progress from Pritchett, Igbinoghene and the rookies is making them look desperate as they pursue Arnold and Diggs. Should we be worried?
If Jobe and Spoon go down, I would be worried. I think Arnold is someone who they feel could be a good starter in the league. Diggs was released last year. I’m not sure he’s going to be more than a backup.
There's a difference between desperate and "it's prudent to keep exploring more options". I've read it as a mix of both but moreso the latter personally.
Ray Roberts. Ray Rhodes has been out of football for fourteen years.
In the same interview, Roberts also discussed Christian Haynes and Olu Oluwatimi:
* Haynes: Plays guard like a veteran. Does all the little things. But does not have “girth” and will get pushed around. (Roberts gave an example)
* Oluwatimi: Looks great physically, better than he ever has. Finally showed some explosiveness off the line
* Stephens: Not athletic and not strong. To be an impactful player, he has to become a master technician and show bulldog tenacity. Roberts made it pretty clear that Stephens has a ways to go
Roberts thought that Haynes and Olu both played with the kind of effort given by players who think they can compete for more PT. My take is that he’s doubtful that Haynes will ever have the necessary size and strength, but hasn’t given up on Olu. (He did not suggest that Olu is challenging Sundell, only that he looks better.)
I’m also curious about Richmond. He is from the same program as Stephens. But was an OT in college. He’s played as a center and guard for the Seahawks, and last year he also took some snaps at OT. I don’t think he’s got the arm length for OT in the NFL, but he could probably do as a short term backup. I love that he plays everywhere. His flexibility could make him more valuable than Haynes and Olu, plus he has three more years of club control
lol I straight up assumed 32 was just a different Thomas. Thanks for the clarification.

I suspect we will see some more CB changes at the cut down. The db’s did not look against the cowboys

I want to see Jones play RG, or maybe Richman. I still don't fully trust AB.
