Release of J’Marcus Webb shows Seahawks’ increasing faith in young offensive linemen

This week's release of J'Marcus Webb showed Seattle's increasing faith in its young offensive linemen.

Another week, another veteran released, another time when the Seahawks gave a reason for the move as being due in part to increased faith in young players whose time they feel has come.

A week ago, it was running back Christine Michael getting waived with the Seahawks deciding they could get what they needed out of Thomas Rawls, C.J. Prosise and Troymaine Pope at tailback the rest of the season.

This week, it was offensive lineman J’Marcus Webb waived with the Seahawks deciding that they had seen enough from Rees Odhiambo to feel comfortable with him as a backup guard/tackle, if needed, with fellow rookie George Fant having emerged as a starter at left tackle and Bradley Sowell now healthy enough to provide whatever veteran depth they want.
