Final season, the Seahawks had Evan Brown as their major beginning middle, and Brown allowed three sacks, three quarterback hits, and 21 quarterback hurries, per Professional Soccer Focus. Not nice numbers for the person in the midst of the offensive line, and total, Brown – who’s now with the Arizona Cardinals – was extra of a legal responsibility than a energy. Now below new head coach Mike Macdonald and new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, that place will clearly have a special look. Olusegun Oluwatimi, the 2023 fifth-round choose from Michigan, noticed 128 snaps as a rookie, and his major competitors might be Nick Harris, the 2020 fifth-round choose of the Cleveland Browns, who performed for brand new Seahawks offensive line coach Scott Huff on the College of Washington. Final season, the Huskies had Michael Penix Jr. throwing 117 passes of 20 or extra air yards – excess of every other quarterback in faculty soccer – so whoever the brand new middle is, he’ll want to carry the purpose lengthy sufficient for Geno Smith to get these deep throws downfield. – Doug Farrar, Landing Wire
