At center, it\u2019s shaping up to be a two-man competition between third-year pro Olu Oluwatimi and second-year pro Jalen Sundell.<\/p>\n
And at right guard, third-year pro Anthony Bradford and second-year Christian Haynes appear to be the front-runners after splitting most of the first-team reps this spring. Head coach Mike Macdonald said second-year pro Sataoa Laumea could also factor into the right guard mix<\/a>, while also leaving open for the possibility that a rookie \u2013 perhaps sixth-round draft pick Bryce Cabeldue \u2013 could make a push once pads come on next months.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of competition,\u201d Macdonald said. \u201cWe haven\u2019t settled some of the spots, and that means we have a lot of guys that are options, so it\u2019s exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n One factor that could play a large role in the two O-line battles is new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak\u2019s wide-zone blocking scheme. The scheme requires linemen to move and make blocks in space, which could favor linemen who are more agile and athletic.<\/p>\n Wyman: How Seattle Seahawks\u2019 new scheme is O-line friendly<\/a><\/p>\n That\u2019s something that was particularly evident to former NFL linebacker Dave Wyman during the Seahawks\u2019 OTA and minicamp practices earlier this month.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re an offensive lineman on this team, you need to be able to run,\u201d Wyman said on Seattle Sports\u2019 Wyman and Bob<\/a>. \u201c(I was) watching them do those drills where these offensive linemen are just running (sideways)\u00a0\u2013 they\u2019re blocking and trying to push north and south, but they\u2019re doing it while they\u2019re running east-west. So it\u2019s just a certain kind of skill.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd so let\u2019s say Olu just doesn\u2019t do that well and Sundell does, then he\u2019s gonna get the job. So it\u2019ll be interesting to see how this style fits different players.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Listen to the full Wyman and Bob conversation at this link<\/a> or in the audio player at the bottom of this story.
