But, like Carroll, laughing, trying to understand what is currently said general manager John Schneider stepped in to propose a final assessment of his new lineman.
"The guy ass kicker," said Schneider.
Ah. OK, then.
Moffitt - all 6-foot-4, 320-pound some of it - seems to fit the Seahawks, "said a vision of what the offensive lineman should be. They have already made a statement on Thursday about where they place their priorities, using the number 25 overall pick to acquire Alabama offensive solutions, James Carpenter, another guy who is a team of staff described as "unpleasant" and "road grader."
Thus, after 2-day project, the Seahawks already seems to answer some key questions about how they're going to collect their offensive front. Tom Cable, new offensive line coach, said Moffitt will play right guard from the very beginning, that is the Seahawks' starting line will be as follows: Carpenter on the right to decide on the right of Moffitt, Max Unger in the heart, the left guard is now to capture, and number of the last year in the 6 pick, Russell Okung, left to the decision.
What is interesting about the Seahawks' appointment at Moffitt right to protect what he played mostly left guard and center in Wisconsin. He started 13 games at center as a sophomore, started his junior season in the same position, before moving to left guard for eight games, came back to the center for the last two games of the season, then started all 13 games at left guard as a senior.
So the Seahawks' initial statement that he would begin his career at right defensive may mean that the group already has plans for what he would do with the left point guard position. And many have already suggested that these plans may include the soon to be free agent left guard Robert Gallery, a veteran who played for the cable, when he was coach of the Oakland Raiders.
Of course, this guess as to when the freedom of the will actually begin, especially now that the lockout is returned in place after the ruling on Friday the 8 th Circuit Court of Appeals.
But the Seahawks are not interested in that right now. They're just happy to have prepared two players who Cable said he most wanted, especially after trading, compared with the number 57 takes longer to accumulate in the middle rounds.
"John (Schneider) asked me last week:" In my heart, if it came down the pipe the right way, what would it be? "I said Carpenter and Moffitt, and it turned out that way."
So Carroll and Schneider sat in a room on the second floor of the VMAC on the second day in a row, answering questions about another offensive lineman, they certainly help improve the running game, which almost set a franchise low rushing yardage mark last season.
"He's very physical kid," Carroll said of Moffitt, although he may very well have been describing Carpenter, too. "He has a real mentality about him that he would not retreat from anything. He comes to the football with tremendous force. It is a leader, he is sober, he had to take charge kind of guy. Just all of it breathes the form that we want to be around the offensive line. "
When he was still on board with the Seahawks on the clock in at number 57, Schneider pulled the trigger on the trade that sent that pick to the Detroit Lions, along with a fifth round and round six, in exchange for Detroit's third-round pick (75-place Seahawks used for the project Moffitt), the fourth-round pick (№ 107), fifth round pick (№ 154) and seventh-round pick (№ 205).
In essence, the Seahawks places fifth and seventh-rounder straight through with the lions, and the transformation of their second-round pick in the third and fourth hands.
Mission accomplished, then, since Schneider, Carroll, and others insisting Moffitt was their guy all the time. Schneider said he began trading number 57 pick up about 10 o'clock in the morning, and his gamble that Moffitt will continue to be there 18 places later paid off.
"I know you guys think I'm feeding you a line, but it's true," said Schneider.
GM talked about standing on the sidelines during this year's Rose bowl, watching the Moffitt team his Wisconsin team in the huddle with a fiery pep talk.
"You would not want any kids standing right there," Schneider said.
In a conference call with reporters, Moffitt displayed the personality that seems awfully hard not to love. He has a room full of reporters to believe that he took a year off before college to serve in the Peace Corps, then they were all laughing when he said it was all a joke, to help explain why he is already 24 years old.
"I'm kidding. I did not join the Peace Corps, speaks eloquently of the crawler. "You know what happened, I switched schools and I repeated the year in high school. I do not want to tell you, I like Billy Madison. The point in the Peace Corps sounds so much better, so if you guys want to print that do not hesitate. "
