Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports that the team has fired assistant head coach/offensive line coach Tom Cable. That report comes a day after the Seahawks dismissed offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and hours after word that they may also be parting ways with defensive coordinator Kris Richard. Quarterbacks coach Carl Davis has also reportedly been relieved of his duties.
Cable has been on the Seahawks staff since 2011, which was the last time that the Seahawks didn’t make the playoffs before this season.

I’m wondering, with his title, if he had some input on grading Oline talent.
I know Schneider works with coaches to help identify fits with scheme and mentality.
He would quickly realize Flowers is a no good slob. Hopefully, he’s added to any incoming staff.
Patricia HC
defelippo OC
Vrabel DC (if he doesnt go to detroit which he prob will if Patricia lands here)
Cable OL
sounds like a damn good group so far lol...
one can dream!
2012: 536 rushes/405 passes (11-5)
2013: 509/420 (13-3, SB Champs)
2014: 525/454 (12-4, SB runner-up because of passing when they should have run)
2015 (gets paid...he's the franchise): 500/489 (10-6)
2016: 403/567 (10-5-1)
2017: 409/555 (9-7)
Wilson is a good player, but the team has been worse off since he became their identity.

A lot of other players on that team have gotten paid once they got off their rookie deals. It's hard to keep the kind of depth they had during their peak in the salary cap era as guys reach their second contracts.
Schneider and Carroll put all their cap eggs into the defensive basket. And then snuck Wilson in there too...
Now they are forced to use bottom of the barrel cast offs to pretend block for Wilson, the running game, etc...

I would argue that they leaned more on Wilson out of necessity. Their OL has been pretty bad for a number of years now.

Not to mention that the big shift happened between 2015/2016, which coincides with Lynch retiring.
