Gregg Peat started 27 games to finish out his Oregon State career. He was an Academic All-American and double majored in accounting and finance. It’s transactions like this that make me think that strains of the Tim Ruskell model are still persistent within the Seahawks organization.
↵Tod Leiweke hired Tim Ruskell and Kevin Pritchard. Both general managers imposed higher standards for character and conduct. The Blazers became fan friendly and respectable. The Seahawks developed a reputation as being almost too nice.
↵Neither general manager was able to put together a winner. Both suffered seasons undermined through injury. And both general managers were eventually fired.
↵Peat seems like a good kid. He has the profile of a zone-blocking lineman and the demeanor of a good kid to have in camp, and, if everything goes as planned, this is probably the last time we will mention his name.
