Seahawks went for a flashy TE and gave up a pro bowl OC and they went from having an elite NFL Oline to Russ running for his life for 3 years. The Seahawks learned just like the Rams did at the back end of the Martz era that skill position players aren't that valuable when your OL is in tatters. The flashy tight end departed and the Seahawks OL was a wreck up until this year. The Seahawks traded Unger we lost Saff to FA but the importance of the OL still stands. The Vikes when from the team without holes and Super Bowl favorite to not making the playoffs mostly it can be argued because of their OL. I am not feeling nearly as confidently now as I was this time last year.
