Both largely after thoughts in the draft, and free agency, both having to be the focus of the offense and the other teams primary receiver to stop.
Often times doubled and triple covered.
THIS team is much more talented than those other Seahawk teams, but with our offensive line issues and no running game, I am not sure Baldwin doesn't have it worse especially of late.
Baldwin is like a clone of Largent in the way he runs he's routes, and his footwork,and his work ethic.
I can't remember a Seahawk receiver since Largent to have his ability to catch the ball and make the acrobatic catches look routine.
Seriously, mad Doug is probably the most underrated receiver in football.
This team is going to miss him when he decides to someday hang it up.
MAD RESPECT TO YOU DOUG!.
You wanna see “Angry Steve” watch 2 plays. The play before he decleated Hardin, and the Hardin decleating itself.Rocket":1tstufqp said:The Great Hawktini":1tstufqp said:Does anyone else see the similarities in Doug Baldwin and Largent.

Angry Steve Baldwin?
Angry Doug Largent?
I was thinking the same thing while watching the "schoolyard" pass, catch and run.
Seems pretty Steve Smithesc here:nanomoz":31fwnls4 said:I don't see the Steve Smith comparison. Smith was crazy fast and played like a big receiver.
Baldwin is kind of unique. The most similar receiver I can think of in my lifetime is Derrick Mason--but with a little bit of tough guy thrown in there like Ricky Proehl or Hines Ward.
