"Four and counting. That's how many different offensive-line combinations the Seattle Seahawks have started in seven games this season. The Seahawks likely will make it five on Sunday. Coach Pete Carroll said rookie offensive tackle Russell Okung, who suffered another high-ankle sprain against Arizona two weeks ago, was not healthy enough to practice Wednesday. And his replacement, Tyler Polumbus, suffered a knee sprain against Oakland last week and watched practice alongside Okung. So veteran Chester Pitts, who saw his first game action last week against the Raiders, is now Seattle's starting offensive left tackle. With offensive guard Ben Hamilton out for the season with concussion issues, Mike Gibson is slated to get his second start of the season at left guard. But with center Chris Spencer also missing practice on Wednesday with a neck issue, Gibson had to take first-unit snaps at center, meaning recent addition Allen Barbre worked with the first unit at left guard. The recent shuffling is not good news for an offensive line looking to establish some consistency and cohesion after giving up a season-high eight sacks against Oakland. And did we mention that the New York Giants are coming to town Sunday, tied for third in the league with 24 sacks? They already have knocked five quarterbacks out of games." http://www.thenewstribune.com/2010/11/04/1409237/offensive-line-reaches-critical.html
