Seattle’s offensive line is not very good

Most teams in the NFL would struggle against the Denver Broncos’ pass rush featuring perennial All-Pro Von Miller, number five overall pick Bradley Chubb, and former first-rounder Shane Ray.

Most teams’ offensive line situation is also better than Seattle’s, meaning they are in for a long day.

According to Pro Football Focus, Seattle’s offensive line from 2017 ranked 27th overall. The only changes Seattle has made is to one guard positions where Seattle has swapped former first-round bust Luke Joeckel for another first-round bust in D.J. Fluker.

For a team with a franchise quarterback like Russel Wilson, Seattle sure doesn’t seem to care much about protecting him.

This really doesn’t bode well for the Seahawks. Denver thrives on weak lines like Seattle and with a few holes in the secondary for Seattle, Denver should be able to jump out to a lead quick.

Playing with a lead for the Denver Broncos’ pass rush is like shooting fish in a barrel–they are able to focus all of their energy on attacking the quarterback.
