The Best and Worst Players by Position (Through Week 7, According to PFF) : nfl (http://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/2jw4n9/the_best_and_worst_players_by_position_through/)
Ryan Clark making the list and not in a good way.
Clark is done, Pittsburg wouldnt have let him go. His role is more a leadership void for the young guys.
We need to get serious about both safety positions, Id still look in the draft mid round and Id grab a legit starter in FA at preferable Free safety.

Wait, there is a RT worse than Polumbus?!? Wow.
Sorry, I used to stick up for the guy as being a middle of the pack RT. I can't even justify a "below average RT" rating anymore. He is a freaking turnstile this season - and barely that good.

Polumbus is not bad as a run blocker. It's only as a pass blocker that he is an utter disaster.
To me, Compton is the real problem. We brought Polumbus in as a stopgap until Compton got ready. Compton should have sent Polumbus to the bench long ago.
Polumbus' failures are Compton's failures.

Our Oline drafting are the FO continued failures

the positives in this game were easy to spot and plentiful.
we almost dominated in every facet of the game.
The D, while not creating turn-overs, was on lock down mode. I have never seen so many 3 and outs from a skins opponent. I am excited to see what the Haz Mat has in store for romo and the boys. (Hazlett has been here long enough to earn a nickname.)
encouraging signs on offense as well. i thought kirk had a decent first half, putting balls into tight spots no other NFL qb would dare try. kirk's response to pressure is still an issue but if we sign and develop an all-pro offensive line, kirk will have time to dissect coverages. we are literally 1 RT and 1 guard away from something special on offense.
if the running game can catch up to the red hot passing (6th in league i think), this team can not just compete with anyone, but dominate.
excited to see us build off this win as we head into dallas week. things are coming together and it only took 7 weeks.

lol @ Pat White - another of this board's cause célèbre who is currently unemployed.
He is just waiting for us to call him back cause he knows it is meant to be.

As to Polumbus, last year I would have agreed with you. This year, I have seen too many failures to seal the back end, too many failures to move his man of the spot when the play came his way, and too many holding calls/offsides on run-plays. The reason he was acceptable in the past was that he was competent on run plays. Perhaps that was due to scheme or better blocking from WR/TE/RB's, bottom line is that - this year - he has not even been competent in the run game.
As to Compton being the problem, maybe. This is his 4th year. He was a 6th round pick and was going to be a project no matter what. At this point, put him in - sink or swim.
As to the draft, again not disagreeing:
2014: 2 drafted, 3rd Round. Both regular inactives.
2013: None drafted.
2012: 3 drafted, LeRib (3rd) active but non-starting -unable to displace either Chester or Luavo; Gettis (5th) Steelers Practice Squad; Compton (6th) regular back-up, possible starter later this year.
2011: 1 drafted; Maurice Hurt (7th) Out Of Football
2010: 3 drafted; T.Williams(1st) pro-bowler; Eric Cook (5th) OOF; Selvish Capers (7th) OOF.
Total Picks 2010 - 2014: 42 (3:1st, 3:2nd, 5:3rd, 6:4th, 6:5th, 7:6th, 12:7th)
Total O-Line Picks 2010-2014: 9 (1:1st, 3:3rd, 2:5th, 2:6th, 1:7th)
One starter; two back-ups (LeRib, Compton); two rookies.
Not a lot of development despite 20% of the draft picks since 2010 being spent on O-line. If Moses and Long develop, that would go a long way to mediating that failure.

Heck I forgot that Jim Mora Jr was the Seahawks coach after Mike Holmgren left.
