ITPV » The Seahawks offensive line hasn’t been seen as a strength

of the team in recent years Earl Thomas III Color Rush Jersey , but left tackle Duane Brown believes that will change this year.Brown is one of four returning starters and left guard Mike Iupati played for offensive line coach Mike Solari for five years with the 49ers, which allows for some familiarity as he gets used to being on a new team. Familiarity is at the heart of why Brown believes that the group “has a chance to be the best in the league.”“We’re very comfortable having a year with the system,” Brown said, via the team’s website. “You have your lumps that you get over Chris Carson Color Rush Jersey , we ironed it out — you saw the production we had throughout the year — and this year, we’re better for it. This time of year is all about getting the information, getting back up to speed on things, and we haven’t missed a beat. We added Mike George Fant Color Rush Jersey , he stepped in and we haven’t missed a beat. We’re communicating everything well, no one is confused out there. I think once we get the pads on, the amount of physicality we will play with will be demoralizing to defenses, so I’m looking forward to it.”The Seahawks led the league in rushing last season and finished sixth in points scored Rashaad Penny Color Rush Jersey , so the offense was productive in spite of any difficulties they might have had up front. If this unit proves to be even stronger, the numbers might be even bigger in 2019. It’s quite a while before training camps open around the league, but one of the players given a franchise tag last week has reportedly started making plans for the summer.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark has no plans to sign the tag and does not plan to attend training camp with the team if it is not replaced by a new, multi-year contract. Rapoport indicates that Clark would return to play out the season with Seattle Doug Baldwin Color Rush Jersey , but it’s a good bet that all things are up in the air until closer to decision points.The tag comes with a one-year salary of $17.128 million.Clark and the Seahawks have until July 15 to talk about a longer deal, assuming he remains under Seattle’s control. The Bills are reportedly one of several teams interested in trading for Clark and his plans to stay away from the Seahawks indefinitely might make that option an appealing one.
