Lost amid all of the position battles and depth chart questions facing the Seahawks is the fact that there has been absolutely zero turnover in one of the most overlooked, yet important, aspects of the roster; the specialists.
The stability, and quality of performance of punter Jon Ryan, kicker Steven Hauschka, and even long snapper Clint Gresham, have been remarkable. So good, in fact, that it’s easy to take for granted.
Remember the days when the Seahawks, just like every other team, would always…. ALWAYS bring in at least one kicker and punter every year to compete, even when there was a good incumbant starter in place like Norm Johnson, John Kasay or Rick Tuten or Josh Brown?
