Tobeck

Second-year pro Chris Spencer will move back to center from guard in the meantime. Seattle has solid offensive line depth.

Tobeck is a 12-year veteran who also fits the new Seattle mold. He’s a hard working and reasonably priced character guy. He’s very durable, having made 64 straight starts. He’s an anchor and the Seattle offensive line is one of the best in football. This was a signing that the Seahawks needed to get done and did.

He’ll be Seattle’s starter again in 2006.

Tobeck missed time with the flu, but is now hurting from a hip injury. “It’s one of those seasons where things happen and there’s no real great explanation for it,” coach Mike Holmgren said.

He won’t play Monday night. The team’s line will also be without RT Sean Locklear, which doesn’t bode well for Shaun Alexander.

2005 first-rounder Chris Spencer will fill in. Shaun Alexander ran for 201 yards behind Spencer Monday night, so he doesn’t present a big drop off.
