Worried About Spencer

Or, generally, worried about who will be the Seahawks starting center when Spencer inevitably gets hurt. The retirement of Chris Gray really hurts depth at center. While Gray was being thought of as Rob Sims's backup at right guard, his true value was as Spencer's backup. The Seahawks have a number of reserves that can fill in if Sims goes down - Willis, Wrotto, Womack. At center, the Seahawks basically started camp with two centers, one of whom is now retired and the other can't get out of the training room. Can you imagine Wrotto, Vallos, or Claxton lining up against Marcus Stroud to open the season? That would be awful. I'm hoping the Seahawks can pick up a viable backup option when guys start getting cut towards the end of camp.
