Interesting article on the disaster that has been JS's O Lines.

[Michael K.]

Schneider noted recently that the “money spent on our offensive linemen we’ve let out of here is top three in the NFL.”

Fucking Genius. So, other teams can use our Lineman, but we can't...and Schneider somehow thinks that is a feather in his fucking cap? The more that dude opens his mouth the more I hate him.

Can't make this stuff up.

To Schneider, that indicates “maybe the guys are a little bit better than we give them credit for here in our organization. Maybe we need to do a better job of (keeping guys).”

He could point to Glowinski, who started 19 games with the Seahawks from 2015-17 and went on to start 82 more with the Giants and Colts, earning almost $33 million along the way.

“There is a narrative that (the Seahawks) can’t evaluate offensive linemen,” he said earlier this year on Seattle Sports 710. “But the rest of the league sees it different because they’re signing our guys.”

I guess it's someone else's job to keep these guys? The guy has consistently under valued the position, and then tries to tell us it's fine because other teams are able to use the guys we don't want anymore? Fuck off dude.

He's beginning to sound more and more like a politician.

Him and Jerry might be secret lovers that share secret PR ideas on how to insult the IQ of their fanbases.

John is just making excuses/diversions to get people to look away from how horrific he is at evaluation. Getting and keeping. Just horrid

I've been saying that all off season, and it works. They simply fire an OC, and that's all the fanbase and media talk about. How the next coach will come in and change things. Then it doesn't, but he dupes them into believing it all over when he does it again. Just like the M's firing a Hitting Coach, then bringing in the same old bargain basement offensive players, it doesn't work, so they do it again...and the media writes a bunch of puff pieces and the stadium fills up...and the rich get richer while the fans get dogshit.

I always felt like there was something odd about JS being cool with working in a front office where the head coach could override his decisions and push his own agenda. I wonder if he liked not having to bear most of the responsibility for personnel decisions, even though he probably played a bigger role there than Carroll.

[Donn Beach]

i believe that's always been blown out of proportion. That he had it as protection in his agreement to take the job doesn't mean Pete running around overriding things. JS commented that Pete never actually did it. What they did was work together, consensus rather than pulling rank. And if he wasn't cool with it why would JS take the job?

There's plenty of examples of someone having final say but trusting the decisions of the people around you

"That's why they work so good together is because Pete may have the final say, but at the end of the day, he's going to trust John and know that [Schneider has] obviously ... done the legwork on guys when it comes to the draft and free agency," said Dan Morgan, who was Seattle's pro personnel director before becoming the Bills' director of player personnel in 2018. "It's just kind of throwing the egos to the side and trusting who you work with."

[Sibelius Hindemith]

I'm sure that was the case, but the arrangement also protected him from taking the heat on deals that didn't work out.

[Donn Beach]

Yeah, but I doubt that went into his thinking. I feel like I was criticizing JS here before it became fashionable but on the other hand I have a heck of a lot of respect for the guy. I don't think he was looking to avoid accountability.
