Can we really be back to the same old debate? Is this tiresome storyline being revived for one more go-round? Does another Seahawks season hang in the balance depending on the development and refinement of the offensive line?
It sure seems that way. Whatever optimism was starting to build about the line coalescing into a fully functioning and productive unit was torn asunder by left tackle George Fant’s devastating knee injury in Friday’s exhibition game.
To listen to the training-camp raves, Fant had made a quantum leap in his second pro season and was about to become the sturdy protector of Russell Wilson’s blind side.
