Through the first four weeks of the season, the Seahawks offensive line has been trying to find a rhythm that works for them.

"I think it's about finding our flow," Charles Cross said. "Just getting better week by week and finding who we are and our identity and to be able to go out there and show it."

Although the Monday night game ended in a loss, both run blocking and pass blocking saw improvements as Kenneth Walker III rushed for 80 yards and three touchdowns and Geno Smith passed for a career-high 395 yards.

After the game on Monday, Walker said, "First, I'll give credit to the O-line. They executed well in their assignments. They made my job a lot easier, to make those plays. So I give a lot of credit, or all the credit, to the O-line."

And in his Wednesday press conference head coach Mike Macdonald said, "The offensive line probably played their best game of the season so far."

With George Fant on injured reserve and Abe Lucas still not off the physically unable to perform list, Stone Forsythe started at right tackle, and then Anthony Bradford and rookie Christan Haynes split time at right guard, with 54 and 36 offensive snaps respectively.

"For Stone to go out there and play the game he played, I thought it was tremendous," Smith said. "I thought Haynes stepped in there, did a great job. I know AB [Anthony Bradford] was battling, Connor [Williams] did a great job leading the charge. The entire group Laken [Tomlinson], Charles [Cross] does what he does and it allows us to be explosive offense."

On the offensive line's game Forsythe added, "We had a lot of plays, and we just never backed down. We were just fighting the whole time. It was basically a street fight out there, we were just going and going and going, we never gave up."

Williams said with more and more reps, the line is starting to feel more gelled. "You keep pounding, you keep chipping away, eventually is starts letting up and it felt like we were finally clicking together, it felt smooth."

Smith was able to find 10 different receivers throughout the game and Macdonald said that speaks to the protections.

"It's never easy to pass protect that many times in a game," Smith said. "I thought overall the run and the pass looked pretty good and I thought Aidan Hutchinson, I mean as great of a player he is, had zero sacks in the game. I thought we ran the ball again very effectively and I also thought it allowed us to pass the ball at times that we did, and so for those guys to go out and compete the way that they did, against a really tough defensive line, to compete the way they did."

"We're just all on one page," Cross said. "Just playing together as a collective group and that helped us play better together. I thought we executed well."
