Duane Brown: Seahawks offensive line has chance to be best in league

It’s been a long time since the Seattle Seahawks offensive line was considered one of the best in the league. Starting left tackle Duane Brown thinks the front five could be just that heading into the 2019 season.

The Seahawks made a few adjustments this offseason, parting ways with J.R. Sweezy and adding guard Mike Iupati to the mix. Reuniting with offensive line coach Mike Solari in Seattle, Iupati could be a difference-maker for the Seahawks.

“Definitely, I think him being in the system with Solari, having some rapport with him and with the system and the terminology and everything,” Brown said after Wednesday’s OTA. “I’m so happy we got him. I’ve been a big fan of his throughout the years watching him play in San Francisco and Arizona.

“Our line has a chance to be the best in the league.”

Quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seahawks running backs will undoubtedly appreciate the boost from the offensive line, a unit that has been in flux over the last few seasons.

“I think if we keep everyone healthy, the talent that we have, the mixture of youth and experience we have a chance to really be great,” Brown continued. “And Mike has been a great addition for us.”
