While the Seahawks aren’t investing a great deal of money in their offensive line this season — last in the NFL in salary cap spending at that position — it doesn’t mean they aren’t investing resources.
The Seahawks spent what was the first first-round pick they had since 2012 last spring on Germain Ifedi, whose development is as kay as any other player to the team’s long-range plan for the offensive line.
Which was why it was especially eyebrow-raising two weeks ago when both coach Pete Carroll and offensive line coach Tom Cable levied about as much public criticism at Ifedi as they ever do to a player.
