The Reason: Walter Jones, Seattle's premier left tackle and arguably greatest player in franchise history, is getting older every year and although he remains a top tackle in the game, has seen a decline in his play. Sean Locklear, a starter at right tackle who contributed to Shaun Alexander's MVP year, hasn't been able to play up to the large contract he signed last year and has had a couple off the field incidents that have tarnished his character – a big no-no in a Ruskell-led organization. The entire offensive line, aforementioned players included, hasn't been able to stay healthy or even come close to replicating their dominant performance in '05.
