Seems there was a worse worst case for him

Worst Case Scenario
Far from the most athletic center, Oluwatimi struggles early in the season facing off against several quality defensive lines after winning the starting job, leading to new line coach Scott Huff plugging Harris into the lineup midway through the year. With Harris starting the remainder of the season, the second-year center's future with the Seahawks becomes more clouded.
I thought undrafted Mike Novitsky, center out of Kansas might stick with the team. Olu is probably ahead of him and with Harris signed, 4 centers are a bit too much. Harris and Williams both are versatile on the line but I think Olu Olu has been strictly a center.

Olu had great draft profile reviews in IQ, leadership, nose tackle mauling so perhaps he just needs another year of seasoning to be the future. Of course, if Williams mans a guard spot or reinjures himself, Olu could be thrust into the starting center spot.
Rocky Colavito is a Hall of Famer in my book!

I just hope the "joint practice" with the Titans next week won't get too violent. Keeping the injury risk down should be a top priority.

I know what you are saying, but for all the efforts made to prevent injury to the players over the years, none have worked.
It's a violent sport with the best players being violent alpha men. I like that it sounds like the players are already in violent mode
and practicing being that way. It feels like early days of the PC era.

I agree with all of this, rockaroo. I really hope there is a spot for Olu, because an elite FA center like Williams coming off another injury and on a one-year deal is no reason to get fat and happy at that position. Nice to have elite there again for once in a blue moon, but we flat-out need a ready-to-go center if Williams is ACL done in Week 5 or some shit.
