Yeah ota snaps, I just don't understand the point of giving them to Holani if you signed Wilson to have charbonnets role
I agree that it seems Holani is ahead of Wilson atm but Price will be the RB1 and a few June OTA snaps isn't indictive that he isn't...

This guy seems to see some significance, thinks it points to a by committee approach. Price in the Walker role, Holani charbonnet. Wilson wasn't a significant signing, but I think it seems even less significant than I realized. Let's see if he survives charbonnet returning when that happens.

Practice sessions have been getting limited for NFL teams, they do less practicing than college teams. This stuff is important. It's not like, heck it's only OTCs, let's give the snaps to Holani because he's a nice guy

Every preseason there is a guy that his a great performance or two in Preseason GAMES and doesn't even make the team. These are practices 3 MONTHS before the season starts...

This has nothing to do with preseason games. Preseason games are near meaningless to begin with. They are where a guy on the bubble might get a chance to make the team. This is about who is getting the actual practice snaps. There's a reason Holani is getting snaps with the first team and Wilson isn't

Terms of charbonnet... assuming he's not really going to be ready the opening of the season, he's pretty much has to go on the PUP list. So that makes him eligible the fifth game of the season. So how about that, is that too optimistic?

Gregg Bell agreeing hanging on to Benton was significant. Remember, Benton came from the Saints along with Kubiak

"The biggest thing I noticed [at OTAs] that was different from last year was the offensive line is all back together," Gregg Bell recently said on Dan Viens' podcast. "John Benton being back is the most important thing that happened to the Seahawks during the offseason."

I guess if you consider something staying the same as a "happening" but to me the hiring of a new OC was a much bigger event.

It's the combination I guess l. It's significant in terms of Kubiak not luring him to Las Vegas. That was a pretty big issue. He followed Kubiak to the Seahawks. I feel a lot more confident with the Fluery situation bringing him in with Benton still around than the situation they created with Grubb. A pair of rookie NFL coaches with no NFL experience.

I have him back at around the time the giant Turkey goes in the oven. If he beats that, then I shall be impressed....
