Tom Cable did not have complete control in selecting offensive linemen

For years pundits and fans have raged about how the Seattle Seahawks could be so bad at putting together an offensive line, and have demanded to know who was responsible for assembling the players the team was using on the line. Some held general manager John Schneider responsible, while others claimed that Tom Cable held absolute power in terms of personnel decisions with the offensive line.

That brings us to this offseason, as one of the most interesting things about the changes in to the coaching staff is that it gives us as fans a chance to evaluate the personnel decisions that the team is continuing to make in order to try to discern how much influence Cable had versus the front office.
