Long viewed as one of the NFL's best executives, John Schneider's first run without Pete Carroll hasn't gone smoothly so far. What does that mean for his future?
starting linebacker Tyrel Dodson on Monday, coach Mike Macdonald didn't mince words when asked about why the personnel decision was made during the bye week.
Just like that, only three weeks after shipping Jerome Baker to Tennessee as part of the deal for Ernest Jones, both veteran linebackers signed by Seahawks general manager John Schneider during free agency were gone in a flash. With neither player managing to stick for the entire season and center Connor Williams abruptly retiring this week, the front office as a whole has come under fire from a fan base growing more and more frustrated with subpar results from offseason signings.
On offense, tackle George Fant - who Seattle tabbed as Abraham Lucas' injury replacement - has played 30 offensive snaps in two games after signing a two-year deal in March and landed on injured reserve for the second time this week. Laken Tomlinson has started every game, but been mediocre at best, grading out 25th out of 57 qualified guards.
Arguably the Seahawks best free agent addition, safety Rayshawn Jenkins has been out since Week 6 due to a broken hand and it remains to be seen when he will return to action. Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins has filled an important role as a rotational nose tackle on a one-year deal, but he certainly hasn't been a major difference maker for a run defense that still ranks 20th in the NFL.
"John and I, we're in lockstep," Macdonald said on Monday. "He's an elite communicator, probably better than I am. I'm learning a lot from him, but we work through things together. Naturally, any given decision is going to be brought up by someone because that's just how it has to work. But, we're in constant communication about all these things, so we're partners in that way I would say.
