Day 2: Offensive line rotations

With Walter Jones out of practice on Saturday, here's how the rotations looked for the Seahawks offensive line for the individual portion of the morning practice. The lines were more in flux later during the team session, but this gives you an idea of where the Seahawks were looking at players:


		CENTER
	LEFT GUARD	No. 65 Chris Spencer	RIGHT GUARD
LEFT TACKLE	No. 67 Rob Sims	No. 69 Steve Vallos	No. 66 Mansfield Wrotto	RIGHT TACKLE
No. 75 Sean Locklear	No. 62 Grey Ruegamer	No. 60 Max Unger	No. 60 Max Unger	No. 74 Ray Willis
No. 78 Kyle Williams	No. 61 Cory Withrow		No. 62 Grey Ruegamer	No. 70 Na'Shan Goddard
No. 73 William Robinson				No. 77 Andre Ramsey

Aside from the absence of Walter Jones, the biggest difference from Friday was Kyle Williams worked out at tackle, not guard.

One of the things the Seahawks' shift to a zone-blocking scheme will do is that offensive-line positions become more interchangeable.

"We talked about this with our scouts," offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said. "You look for now maybe a guy that can play guard-tackle or can play center-guard, not just a one-type guy."

That's true for four of the five positions along the offensive line. "Your left tackle is a left tackle," Knapp said. "It's hard to find a 'tweener and still be a good pass protector."
