Jetman_67 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I was at Maximum Sports Conditioning in Bellevue, WA Today on business to discuss, creating some wall graphics for their facility. As soon as I finish shooting photos of the walls for mockups, I turn around and Wayne Hunter was there. He is working on strength and footwork today. After chatting with him, I have a different take on his position. Last year he came in learning the position (He is a natural Guard) Due to injury he was pushed up the depth chart and the entire season was on the job training for him. I have a feeling, he may show some big improvement this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think its safe to say that now we clearly have our right tackle situation sorted. So we can focus on other positions for the draft. Tebow to right tackle, Wayne running the wildcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 whether you like him or not, the writing is kinda on the wall they are gonna go with Wayne as the starter and Vlad as the altnerative. I hope for a stud OT in rd 1 but I kinda doubt it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodeawhodat Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 nice that he took the time to chat and take a pic. I thought he filled in the year before at RT when Woody went down though. Wasnt he the guy that lined up in a 2 point stance and tipped off our play action pass? Either way, we gave Woody the boot and Wayne the contract at RT. Very cool that you met him.

SenorGato Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Am I the only one who kind of buys what Hunter said? He WAS something like the third choice to start, and it probably didnt help that everyone on the OL had their worst season in forever. I'm interested to watch them sink or swim with Hunter/Vlad, particularly with the two new OL specialist coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. I know he played the TE in those jumbo sets they'd run with an extra OL back in 2009 and 2010. Vlad had that role last year, and was mostly no bueno.

bitonti Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Vlad had that role last year, and was mostly no bueno. disagree. Vlad was fine in the 6th OL role. He is a powerful run blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 disagree. Vlad was fine in the 6th OL role. He is a powerful run blocker. Gotta agree with Bit on this one. He did OK as a TE. I'm holding my breath that he can put something together with a full off season, and camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Vlads weakness was always pass protection. Seems to be Wayne's weakness as well. The internetz have written off Vlad but I don't think Tanny and Rex have yet. Sparano and the OL coach he brought with him could develop him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 2 Times Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Seattle must be really laid back if you can show up for a business meeting wearing a Jets hoodie and cap. Great story, hope he plays better this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I never really thought he was the problem. A solid blocking TE can hide so many flaws for a RT Disagree that he wasn't a problem and pretty much disagree on a TE helping that much, but this is supposedly Sparano's theory. He won't leave the OT hung out to dry and will be protected by the TE. I think it's beyond "solid blocking". Even a smaller TE like Keller chipping can be a huge help, but it keeps them from getting into their routes. Oh what a crock of sh*t. The guy had been playing both tackle positions for several years prior. You should have said this to him. He was played LT at Hawaii and was picked by Seattle in the 3rd round of the 2003 draft as a T and was pretty much a bust playing RT there. He played RT when Woody went down and was our backup T, while Turner was the primary backup at G and C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
