The Seahawks offensive line is weird. 12s knew it could not get much worse than it was in 2017 before Seattle traded for Duane Brown. And maybe we have become resigned to the fact that the line is simply bad because we assume it is better than it was a few years ago but in actuality, it is still bad. The biggest difference between 2017 and 2019 isn’t an offensive lineman, it is running back Chris Carson.
Carson was able to create yards on his own that weren’t there really. He ranked third in the NFL with 907 yards after contact in 2019.
