As the NFL Draft approaches, the Seattle Seahawks have pencilled in J’Marcus Webb as the starter at right tackle. Given his reputation for being a turnstile, that isn’t great news for Seahawks fans or for Russell Wilson.
The question remains: Just how accurate is that reputation? To get to the bottom of things, I dove into the game tape from throughout Webb’s career, though I focussed mostly on recent seasons.
Webb mostly played guard for the Raiders last season, and he wasn’t horrible in that role. He wasn’t good either; these things are obviously relative. For the purpose of this study, I only looked at the games in which he played right tackle.
