The Seahawks' offensive line has been a major issue for Seattle this season, and the team is reportedly willing to make in-game changes Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals if needed, according to CBS reporter Jason La Canfora.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been sacked 18 times this season, and the Detroit Lions had six sacks on Wilson Monday night. The Seattle quarterback said he "should have played tennis," if he was worried about getting hit, according to Seahawks reporter John Boyle.
The Seahawks quarterback is reportedly focused on cutting weight and speed training to help his team avoid sacks. Wilson is continually under pressure this season, and since trading center Max Unger to the New Orleans Saints, the Seahawks' offensive line has not looked the same.
"The quarterback-center exchanges are the most critical issue with the line," said a source, via CBS Sports. "They have to be on the same page and the ball has to be delivered where it is supposed to be."
Back up center Patrick Lewis was told to be ready on Sunday, as the Seahawks might pull starting center Drew Nowak if his snaps aren't on point, according La Canfora.
Despite the offensive line troubles, Seattle has been able to win two consecutive games, bringing them to 2-2 on the season. The Seahawks have a tough test against the undefeated Bengals Sunday and will need a solid performance from their offensive line to protect Wilson.
