SEA O line was ranked 28 coming into the season (as per PFF).
"28. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
The Seahawks have ranked among the worst offensive lines in the league over recent years, and last season was no different as they finished 27th in our
final rankings.
Left tackle
Duane Brown has brought some stability to the line since joining Seattle, as his 82.0 overall grade ranks 13th among offensive tackles since 2017. No other Seahawks offensive lineman graded above 63.2 during that time frame, which shows just how important Brown has been — he’s allowed pressure on just 4.6% of dropbacks, 11th-best among tackles over the last three seasons.
Veterans
Brandon Shell and
Cedric Ogbuehi will compete to take over from
Germain Ifedi at right tackle. Shell has been better during over the last three seasons, grading at 64.9 overall — good for 47th among tackles — while Ogbuehi has only played 877 snaps over the last three years and graded at 58.0 overall.
At left guard,
Mike Iupati is coming off the lowest grade of his career, at 60.3 overall, and his career is simply trending in the wrong direction. Iupati graded above 79.0 in five of the first six years of his career, but he’s been in the 60s during his last four seasons, which have also been riddled with injuries.
The other guard spot is wide open, with 2019 fourth-rounder
Phil Haynes competing with rookie third-rounder
Damien Lewis. Haynes played just 42 snaps as a rookie, while Lewis is likely the preferred option here as his power run-blocking style is coveted in Seattle. Former second-round pick
Ethan Pocic adds depth, though he’s struggled through three years at guard after finishing his college career at center.
There will be competition at center after
Justin Britt was released after six years with the team.
Joey Hunt took over for 733 snaps last season, earning a 52.2 overall grade that ranked 35th among centers.
B.J. Finney comes over from Pittsburgh, where he wasn’t much better last season, grading at 56.9 on 325 snaps, though his previous work was much better in a limited sample from 2016-18.
The Seahawks enter 2020 with plenty of question marks up front, and it will take unexpected development from multiple players to get them into the top half of the league."

But ended 2020 14th which shocked me because IMO they play like crap, and don't allow Russ time to get the ball down field to the weapons or give the run game very many lanes.
"14. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
The Seahawks’ offensive line ranked 16th as a unit in pass-blocking grade this season. That may not appear all that impressive on the surface, but it’s the highest they’ve ranked in that area since
Russell Wilson has been in Seattle.
That improvement is due in part to several members along the line taking steps toward the production
Duane Brown has been able to put forth each year since joining the team in 2017.
Brown remains the leader of that group up front at 35 years old, fresh off his highest PFF grade (87.3) since 2011. He has been a model of consistency in pass protection over the years, with pass-blocking grades of 77.0 or higher in every season since 2011 on at least 400 pass-blocking snaps. The 2020 season was just another chapter in what has been an underrated career for the 2008 first-round pick."
