Drew Lock … here come people to talk about how wrong these scores are.
Give Charles Cross credit for an amazing game. Zero sacks, QB hits, or pressures allowed by the LT. A 90.7 pass blocking grade and the only offensive lineman with a run blocking grade over 60.
However, the real story of the game, as it so often the case when the Seahawks play the Rams, was how the interior of our offensive line was once again destroyed by Aaron Donald and the Rams defensive front.
Lewis, Haynes, and Bradford each had sub-50 overall and pass blocking grades. Brown barely escaped that distinction with a 50.8 overall grade. Brown, Lewis, and Haynes each allowed a devastating QB hit on Geno. Not surprisingly, Aaron Donald led the Rams with an 86.9 grade, seven pressures, and three QB hits.
Geno Smith once again graded relatively well in defeat. He battled back from injury and almost led them on a game winning drive that was foiled when the headset in his helmet malfunctioned and Jason Myers shanked a 55-yard, game-winning FG attempt.
Wow well would you look at that! The single player on our OL that we put a significant investment into was our top graded player on the day, while the entire rest of our OL who were either signed for scraps in free agency or drafted in the later rounds all turned in below average performances. This team is sadly not winning anything until it get can get AT LEAST an average performance out of the O-line over the course of a season, something that hasn’t happened even a single time since drafting Russell Wilson. Invest in the trenches instead of a safety duo that don’t move the needle!
I hope we move on from Damien Lewis and Phil Haynes this next off season. There’s so much room for improvement
Was Olu injured? Seems like they keep switching between him and Evan Brown at C.
Waldron: 31.3
Lock is about where I expected! Let’s put the ‘put lock in’ argument to rest
Lol at that guy posting about our ELITE OL and how damien lewis is top 5 guard in the NFL. I know aaron donald is good but our guards didnt block him every play. Only way for each to get a sub 50 is to also be bad against the other members of that DL.
That pass blocking grade for deejay… 😬
Lewis, Bradford, Brown, Haynes all having shit games. That’s it. They’re the reason for the loss yesterday.
​
I don’t even give a shit about our defensive grades. If our guards and C could have played at a mediocre NFL level, we win that game handedly yesterday.
​
‘Member when Damien Lewis wasn’t horrible and he looked like a franchise lineman? Good times. Bro dropped off so hard it’s almost impressive.
Our O-line and playcalling besides our first drives were my eye-test reasons for our inept offense yesterday, and now these advanced stats basically confirm. Yet a large part of the fanbase will continue to shit on Geno (yes I know he’s not the QB of the future or an elite QB) but you put any QB behind our o-line with questionable playcalling and see how they do
Is poor OLine play Pete’s Achilles Heel? Seems like a reoccurring theme year after year since the Tom Cable Era.

Nice to see so many young’uns up near the top.
Fant has regressed these past few weeks.
