Babineaux recorded 104 tackles last season, good for second on the team behind LB David Hawthorne. Strong safety, which lines up near the linebacker position, should suit the 27-year-old Babineaux better than free safety because he is not known for his sideline-to-sideline prowess.
He is, however, a good tackler and could competently assist in the run. Also, his instinctive playmaking abilities could mean more interceptions on quick passes at strong safety.

2009 offensive line problems
Most football fans know it all begins in the trenches and if you are not winning those battles, the game is likely out of your reach. Last season, the Seahawks had 10 different starters on the offensive line, which ranks second to worst in the league, according to ESPN.
Buffalo was the only team to shuffle more starters on the line than Seattle, with 11. Oakland also had 10.
