Six weeks away from training camp, the Seahawks have several ongoing competitions left to play out when they return to the field. Who will win starting jobs and roster spots up for grabs in August and September?

Only so much can be learned about an NFL team in non-padded practices, but that doesn’t mean some questions about the Seahawks weren’t answered over the past three weeks during OTAs and mandatory minicamp, including having a ways to go for the offense to level up to the defense.

From a trio of new quarterbacks getting their first extended look running Klint Kubiak’s offense to free agent additions in the secondary impressing, plenty of action unfolded during the Seahawks three open OTA practices at the VMAC.

Practicing in front of the media for the first time in OTAs on Monday, Sam Darnold had an up-and-down session running the Seahawks first-team offense, while a fired up defense capitalized with several red zone turnovers.

The Seahawks continued to struggle in the trenches on offense last season, but with a young core returning a year older and a proven veteran offensive line coach now in town, the team hopes to see the unit take a big step forward this spring.

As the Seahawks launch the final phase of their offseason program with OTAs, these non-contact practices carry plenty of importance heading into the upcoming season, starting with a lot of new pieces on offense from both a personnel and coaching standpoint.

Since taking the reins as Seahawks general manager in 2010, John Schneider has been as active moving up and down the draft board as any executive in the NFL. What moves rank as his best? And which ones left him with the most remorse?

When it comes to competing for an NFC West title and a return to the postseason, all eyes will be on Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp as newcomers filling big shoes. But the Seahawks will only go as far as their most maligned unit, which looks largely unchanged, performs under a new coaching staff.

Poor offensive line play has been a signature problem for the Seahawks over the years, but John Schneider will be counting on a revamped coaching staff and a new scheme to help turn the tide up front.

When it comes to paying offensive linemen, John Schneider has been as frugal as any general manager in the NFL. Do his latest comments hint that the Seahawks may change their ways this offseason?

It’s a tale as old as time, but the Eagles provided the blueprint for the Seahawks to get back to Super Bowl contention and it starts with the trenches.

Offering more than 20 years of coaching experience in the NFL, John Benton will be tasked with fixing one of the league’s worst offensive lines as part of a new-look Seahawks coaching staff.
