Anthony Bradford

So everybody's got to pick their game up for this one.

And then last one before we let you go, we saw them do the rotation at right guard last week with Anthony Bradford dealing with an injury.

He's now out on the IL, so you've got at least four weeks that he's going to be out.

And do you feel like it should be one guy? They should say, hey, it's you, Christian Haynes, or hey, it's you, Bo Stevens, or do you like their rotation?

Emmanuel Wilson comes in and rushes for 92 yards.

You get Bo Stevens and Christian Haynes subbing for Anthony Bradford and doing an 11 minute drive to end the game.

I'm starting to lose touch with, like, well, what is the weakness here? How do you attack this Seahawks team? I'm curious.

You're much more objective on this than I am.

He split out and bunched with the wide receivers and, and they cash in on both of those.

Now, we know this offensive line isn't really built to move people, and that was part of the issue in the first half, especially with Anthony Bradford out.

The way that they went about it in the second half, might it just be that that is going to be their identity when they do get in the red zone?

I, I think that it is.

Rob Rang joining me today as he will every single Friday on the program.

And now let's talk about the offense specifically and personnel, finding the best 11 on the field.

And we have to start at right guard because we got news this week, of course, Anthony Bradford, that knee injury that he aggravated in practice on the injured reserve list.

Doesn't sound like it's gonna be long-term.

I feel like, you know, Haynes, you have the more athletic guy that's probably more suited for the zone blocking, and then...

Yeah, Stevens is probably more in line with Anthony Bradford in that I feel like he would be the better guy to, you know, if you're doing those pin-pull style blocks or gap style runs, that he might be the better one for it.

If they're going to play to a push, then I'm okay with them continuing to find out who the better one is.

Let them keep competing.

So what you're trying to tell me here is that if your problem in life as a football fan is that you've got three starting caliber right guards, you're okay with that?

I'm okay with that, especially if one of them can be a backup left guard, too, because there's an issue with depth on a team that you're going to need – what we've seen through the league so far this year, especially with quarterback injuries, you know, it's going, it's going to be a war of attrition among these teams.

And if we have solid depth to where we have one of our starters, like Anthony Bradford, who doesn't look like he's going to be back till week seven at the earliest now out four weeks because he is placed on injured reserve.

Yeah.

... on an opinion of these players.

You know how long the whole Anthony Bradford conversation went on? How long everybody...

Like, all of a sudden, everybody's an offensive line guru-

[laughs]

... and is telling you, "Oh my God, yeah, the, the team's good, but what about that Anthony Bradford?" What are you talking about? Anthony Bradford is a good football player.

And guess what? If he wasn't a good football player, do you think Mike McDad- McDonald would have him still be playing that position?

Mm-mm.

You already don't have Laramie Tunsell.

Who's the backup right guard? I don't know.

Dijon

Robinson with a living yard run? I'll go ahead.

Greg Zabel, no thanks.

Center, Jalen Sundell.

Right guard, Anthony Bradford.

Tackle, Abraham Lucas.

I'll specify.

I think after this week, Bo Stevens, until Anthony Bradford is back, will become the starting right guard for the Seattle Seahawks.

The reason I say that is it's not a – I have an issue with Christian Haynes.

I don't.

If I can have that mean SOB as my right guard and he gives me the same level of run blocking, if not a little bit better, and he gives me the same pass pro, I'm going to take that mean SOB over the guy that's a little bit passive.

You trust him 35 pass attempts against the Los Angeles Rams?

Now, I don't have to because there's a good chance Anthony Bradford's back.

So I am good in that one.

And then you have the confirmed losses.

Anthony Bradford is on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet is out.

But the headline that really stands out is Will Johnson.

He suffered a neck injury in week two.
