The play they break down at 3:35 perfectly illustrates the Seahawks fan base split over Russell Wilson.
A blitzer has a free run at the QB and it's the classic scenario where Danger Russ spins out of the pocket buys 5 more seconds and throws a TD pass. Seahawks fans go nuts about how special...
11 wins puts us in the playoffs. I don't see that happening.
As it's currently constructed there's no way I see league average QB play bringing this team double digit wins. The rest of the team isn't that dominant.
If Lock plays at a level that takes this team to 11 wins and there's any reason...
IMHO Drew Lock being decent is the best case scenario going forward.
Let's say he performs as a league average QB this upcoming season. Given our division I think league average QB play for the Seahawks gets us to .500 at best. We have enough draft capital that from that position we could...
I would put my money on that as well. Other little things factor in as well. Russ never seemed interested in improving his skill at the the #1 play for slowing down a pass rush. The screen pass. Take away screen passes and I'd bet any OL's ranking would drop.
Something I could be wrong on but...
Just watched the video in the OP.
If Levis doesn't learn to not stare holes in his primary receiver the way he does in every single play in that clip NFL safety's are going to eat his lunch.
Lots of talk about how Russ is gonna love this guy. Just imagine what's going to happen type stuff. And I agree.
But I think Chris Carson is going to end up being DK's biggest fan. Carson is going to be running at a lot more 2 deep safety formations this year. Gonna add some yards to his totals!
Stacked and bunch formations lead to predictable windows in the coverage. We are using more of these on third down where Wilson can now just plant and throw instead of waiting and waiting to see who comes open. I think this is a huge reason for the reduction in sacks and the improved...
My favorite play of the game.
Have the game on DVR and watched this specific play several times.
The formation had Fant lined up in the tight end spot outside Ifedi. Obvious run play. Lockette is split wide and covered by a corner so Glover Quin the Lion's safety comes up to the line line...
There are just some guys, at the snap of the ball their eyes get wide, the adrenaline flows and they lose the ability to think.
Christine Michael is one of those guys. He is incapable of switching the ball to the outside arm on a run. That's a high school skill and if you asked him he'd...
The defense doesn't worry me so much. We have a lot of young guys and young defenses, if talented, eventually come around.
What does worry me this year is the same thing that worried me last year. Ifedi is eventually going to get Russ killed.
That guy is absolute garbage. I hated Ifedi last...
You are more than welcome.
Just to further emphasize the pressure that exists for General Managers and Head Coaches to make the safe, defend-able picks in the draft, check out this article from a nationally read website condemning the Seahawks for the that 2012 draft and their selection of...
Damn straight. Ballsiest GM HC combo I've ever seen.
He didn't just start camp with a 3-way competition for the starting QB position. At the end of the competition JS sent Tarvaris Jackson packing to Buffalo. We traded away the only guy who'd ever been an opening day starter! We started the...
Hi Zeearend
Good to see some of our European neighbors taking an interest in our uniquely American sport.
You posed your question to vin.couve12 but this is my take on why he and others like him go undrafted. It's about fear of getting fired.
First of all the NFL has massive turnover every...
