Let's say JG is released and signs with Seattle, how long do you think he remains healthy behind that horrible OLine?
With different coaching who knows. Need to limit hits on the QB. SEA famously wants to be run heavy.. that was the whole let Russ cook deal.. they never really did. If it's a lot of ground and pound and quick release to prevent hits to the QB he could go a while. He got in trouble with us when he ran (Chiefs) and held it too long (Titans) as well as other maladies.. Coaching him to get the ball out or slide would have given him a lot more games with us.
But SEA has kind of proven that they can't do that, Jimmy is going to be hurt more often, my opinion.
There was an article prior to the start of last year stating this...(sorry I can't post links)
"In nine seasons, he's been sacked 394 times, an average of 43.8 sacks per season—more than any other QB since the 1970 merger."
