Russell watches film and scouts opposing teams every game. He then runs down what he sees with other players like a coach, except that he's not a coach.
And then plays every opponent exactly the same way

Great, someone brought this thread back, so I can express what nonsense this is.
One of the all-time great combinations in Seahawks and NFL history, Wison to Lockett; you could fill your trunk with tapes of the highlights. What's he supposed to say? Please bring me with you?
No, Tyler is too cool, and positive a dude to spin negative.
He'll need to hope that Lock, or Smith, or Baker has half the magic this season. I for one, want to see him make more of those head spinning catches.
I guess we'll see.
Have a look at what I would call an unbiased analysis. It's ~ 50/50 Tyler/DK with lots of examples of smart, decisive throws to the middle of the field.If it's nonsense, post a link to the plays Where Russ actually hits Lockette as he's coming open per design, or where they hooked up and it wasn't a blown coverage. Those plays were 2/10. Lockette was great with Russ because he kept plays alive and was savvy enough to get open when the plays as designed, were largely over. It's the style of ball the Hawks played. It was talked about for years - how wrs had to learn the scramble drill with Russ because that's when they'd often see the ball. Not during the designed play, but when Russ was just being Russ. What a different conversation we'd be having were it not for Tyler Lockette since ADB retired.

Gee, I don’t know. Failed stalled drives for a lot playoff games cause Seattle couldn’t run/pass the ball. Haven’t you seen enough of those? If Seattle cannot score on offense, they’ll need points to come from somewhere else. Special teams or defense, perhaps?Can you please explain why the defense and run game needs to be elite? What evidence is there to support that other than the fact that Pete built an elite defense and traded for an elite running back.
This team was good enough to go deep in the playoffs the year we lost our entire backfield and had to pull Lynch off of his couch. Our defense wasn't elite then, and our running game was great before the injuries, but not elite. We lost in GB with a one dimensional team and a passing game that couldn't overcome it.
The team was also good enough to make a run in 2021 when the defense turned itself around mid season and finished in the top half of the league over that span, and we had a running game that was underutilized. We lost in the playoffs to the Rams behind a pass game that never showed up.
To me, that smells like a team that needs to be good in all facets and maybe great in one. If we could have converted first downs and held the ball against the Rams with better than sub 50% passing for a half, we advance.
The MASH backfield team just needed for Penny or Carson to be in the game.
Agree, that if the qb play is questionable in terms of sustaining drives, you do need exceptional play from the D and running game to be competitive. But that's not a 'Pete ' thing, that's just football.

Still feel that way after 2 months of camps and preseason games?For all of Lock's flaws, I for one hope he takes advantage of more of the field, even if it means throwing the occasional int. Just make the play that's there. Warner said it best in his critique of Russ - something along the lines of 'its great that he makes those impossible plays, but soo many of them just simply don't have to be that hard...'
I think he's right.
Anyone close to the team knows Russ and Tyler are super close and great friends. This infatuation with trying to paint Russ as someone no one liked is so weird to me.Hasselback Part Deax
I don't think this is true. I am certainly not one of those trying to paint Russ as someone no one liked. I think there are likely several teammates who like Russ. However, from everything I've heard, Tyler is not close with Russ and there was/is some friction there.Anyone close to the team knows Russ and Tyler are super close and great friends.

Russ was the perfect QB for Pete. Doesn't make many mistakes, helped the running game with his legs and when Pete was way too conservative and passive Russ could bail you out in the 4th quarter. Lock, Geno or whoever else they have isn't going to have anywhere near the success unless Pete adapts his philosophy to help them succeed. He's stubborn though and like a lot of coaches thinks his system is more important than the players. I think he's wrong, maybe he's right and I guess we will find out.
You said anyone close to the team knows Russ and Tyler are super close and great friends???? In that case, we may have to accept Lockett and Russell kept their super close relationship and great friendship a well covered secret.Anyone close to the team knows Russ and Tyler are super close and great friends.

Yes. Occassional INT. Not 3 for every 1 TD in a game. He's got time to learn. Hoping he takes advantage of it.Still feel that way after 2 months of camps and preseason games?
Or Teddy Bridgewater. This was already known about Drew Lock (from college to the NFL). The people throwing him out there as some legitimate part of that trade were operating in pure fantasy land. Pete claiming he would be their top QB in this last draft is pure fantasy land B.S. and if true he needs to go.He couldnt beat out Geno Smith for the starting job. Thats all anybody needs to know.

That is no where near fair. He posts about Lock like he stole his girlfriend or killed his dog, but he has every right to do that.I think you need to go.
For the moment, that's a pretty true statement.
