battle here for the month of May question number one on my mind what is the plan for the Seahawks on the defensive line I like this group but I don't know what the Seahawks are going to do with this group this position group this off season has gone from an area of weakness to an area of strength with the additions that they've made but the direction of It kind of remains unclear let me explain why Leonard Williams we know is going to start on the defensive line but everything else is up in the air at this point what do you do with jiren Reed we've heard his name come up as a potential cot candidate potentially to save $5 million is jiren Reed standing around Byron Murphy what's his role going to be is he a DN is he a nose tackle what are you doing with Byron Murphy I don't know to be honest with you Draymond Jones we've heard Rumblings about him potentially moving to the edge or being a backup losing his starting job that he had last year coming off a disappointing 20023 season what are you going to do with draymont Jones is draymont Jones going to step up and then there's Jonathan henkins who I really liked the Seahawk signing uh there from the Dallas Cowboys previously the Las Vegas Raiders once lost a burger eating contest to our own Mitchell RN here at chat sports what are they going to do with the defensive line I just don't know what the seat hooks are going to do at the defensive line and speaking of Byron Murphy I got to ask you guys will he start week one I lean towards yes but I don't know for certain we've heard Mike McDonald complain about his playing weight right now saying he needs to get in better shape is he going to figure it out and get everything in check let us know why for yes in for no will Byron Murphy start week one for the Seahawks or not question two what's the plan on the offensive line I think three starters are set I think that we know for certain that barring injuries Charles cross will be your starting left tackle Olu Olu teaming will be your starting center and Abraham Lucas will be your starting right tackle but everything else is up in the air like in Tomlinson you would expect to start at left guard but that's not a foregone conclusion at this point Christian Haynes comes in the co drafted him out of Yukon in the third round there's a lot of optimism excitement for him but you still have Anthony Bradford his second year coming from LSU and Anthony Bradford if we're going to be honest kind of the jury still out on him if you will did not play so hot in 2023 and then you got a guy like Nick Harris who they brought in from the Cleveland Browns he can play some fullback is he more fullback or is he more backup center George Fant how much will he be involved into the swing tackle here I have a lot of questions about how this offensive line is ultimately going to shake up and then the air raid scheme too I'll say this that is going to be very good for your starting tackles Charles cross and Abraham Lucas both those guys played in this system at their respective colleges Charles cross under Mike Leech at Mississippi State Abraham Lucas at Washington State I think if they're healthy they should have the best years of their career but we'll see what are they going to do with this offensive line I don't know who is going to be the starting Right Guard is it Christian Haynes or is it Anthony Bradford let us know CH for Christian Haynes AB for Anthony Bradford pick a starting offensive guard for your Seattle Seahawks in the comments section below Byron Murphy jerseys are on sale now

about that Gino is the starting quarterback for this team that he is the one leading the charge but at some point if you're the Seattle Seahawks with what we've heard of what they've said about Sam how they got to know what they got in Sam Hal at some point in time whether that's him getting to start a preseason game whe whether that is if they're out of playoff contention and he gets the chance to start late in the year maybe it's an injury to Gino maybe Gino struggles Sam how at some point is going to see the field in 2024 it's not a matter of if but when and they have to know what they're getting out of Sam Hal because the way that John Schneider kind of framed it if you will in regards to Sam Hal this off season was that hey he's younger than some of the quarterbacks in this this year's draft like Bo Nicks and Michael pennick he was essentially the Seahawk's draft pick for the quarterback position and when he was asked about the quarterback of the future situation the first thing John Schneider pointed to was hey Sam how got two years left on his contract so what is it going to be like for Sam Hal will he get a chance will he get to prove whether or not he's the guy or not that remains to be seen as far as that goes when it comes to Sam how but what what's the plan I don't know what the plan is what do you guys think are you buying into Sam how do you believe in Sam how is the potential long-term solution for the SE quarterback why for yes in for no way in the comment section tell us what you think question four how will things shake out at the corner position this group's got some depth I will say I like what the seat hooks have done at the corner spot with the draft picks that they made this year with bringing in DJ James and uh Nehemiah pritchet from Auburn the Auburn cats coming in I thought they did a good job getting those guys in day three but beyond that what are you going to do with this group here Devon Witherspoon is he a nickel or is he on the outside I kind of lean towards the nickel but we'll see Mike Jackson you restructured his deal got to think that he's in it for this season Trey Brown looked pretty good showed some flashes last season but is he going to start or is Mike Jackson going to start and then Rick woen coming off a disappointing year last year where he really struggled tackling will riek woen get back to form how does this work out what roles are going to be given to these guys um that all remains to be seen at this point and I hope that Mike McDonald really can get the most out of this group because there's some potential here look at what we saw last year in 2023 between Mike Jackson and Trey Brown the odds on favorite as Mike Jackson starts but Trey Brown I would say outplayed Mike Jackson last year did so in less games might I add as well had more interceptions more pass breakups same amount of tackles and tfls who's the guy you rather started outside corner if it comes down to these two would you rather roll with MJ or would you rather roll with Trey Brown chat me in the comments section let us know what you think MJ from Mike Jackson TB for Trey Brown way in the comments section let us know what you think number five on are burning questions for Mike McDonald and John Schneider this is more so for the team overall are the players going to buy in is everybody invested is everybody on the same page for this Mike McDonald era of Seahawks football because we've already seen Mike McDonald has made some changes that kind of rubbed a few folks the wrong way getting rid of the the pictures in the office and all that that got some people upset and you know he he's been kind of a hard ass as well we mentioned a while back when he said to Byron Murphy that he need to get in better shape and all that kind of a different mentality than happy go Jolly Pete Carroll right is everybody G to buy into what Mike McDonald is selling right away I like McDonald and from an outside perspective it's easy to like what you've seen from Mike McDonald but can he convince those players that he's the right guy to take this next step up that remains to be seen I like we're going to learn a lot about the culture and the direction of this franchise based on the way OTAs goes here what's your confidence level in Mike McDonald right now scale form in the comment section 1 through 10
