Because of that kind of "protection" Russell Wilson (up until last week) was THE MOST pressured QB in the NFL bar none (on nearly 44% of all his drop-backs). So, almost 50% of the time he dropped back to pass ... Wilson had a guy in his face.
And yet despite all of that ... Wilson (unbelievably) has thrived. On the season, here are Wilson's numbers
This is what I'm talkg about... the line is back and in the Minny game he was pressured on roughly 44% of his drop backs as well which is insane. So Seahawks fans basically feel it's irrelevant because Wilson has been pressured all season anyway.
It's not irrelevant, that Defenses have noted the Seahawks anemic O-Line, and have exploited it with the MOST PRESSURE to any Quarterback in the league this Season, and racked up some sacks on RW, but at 10 & 1, you have to recognize, and give Wilson credit for astonishing comeback wins.
Wilson has a trust in his regular o-line guys ,even if they are still shaking off the rust, because he knows that they are getting back onto the same page, and that bodes well for RW, and for the rest of the Offense for that matter.
Not every Quarterback in the league can turn games around with that much pounding adversity, and I say that Breese and Wilson can speed read Defenses, and are exceptional at formulating plays when others would get tripped up for not getting it right.
There's a good reason that RW looks to Breese for inspiration, they are both considered too short to play in the NFL, and Breese opened up the whoop ass on those who stayed that course.
There's only three advantages that Wilson has over Breese, is that 1. hand size 2. build & 3. his ability to run.
I see Russell Wilson as a Drew Breese in progress.
For the mean time, Breese has experience (time in the trenches) and Wilson is still showing a magnificence in his comprehension, and growth.
