Woolen = Worthless

[SeeHocks]

Flash in the plan!

 

[hinton]

he was so damn good last year too, not sure what's happened to him

 

[12thManInTheBox]

Worst tackling corner in the league

 

[blaisio]

It's not just him either unfortunately. Adam's is very very bad and Diggs tries to hit everyone with his shoulder instead of wrap up. Think it's a major issue in the defensive backs in general.

 

[James in PA]

I've heard of sophomore slumps, but this is ridiculous. He needs to change his name back or something.

 

[nanomoz]

This whole team is a mess and isn't playing up to it's potential. Tackling, lack of discipline, poor preparation (10 dudes on the field in a punting situation?). It's a fekin' joke.

He was "coached up".

His style.has completely changed. He's being forced to play "the Seahawk way" and it shows.

 

[JustTheTip]

Maybe he should change his name back to the one his mama gave him.

 

[hawker84]

Our dB room has definitely taken a step back. None of them can seem to tackle accept for witherspoon.

 

[Polk738]

Hopefully he comes back better next year, I still have faith in our CBs

I don't know...I think REEK kinda suits him.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Far from worthless. He is still playing decent ball, even if it's solely on the back of his physical gifts. Tackling was always going to be an issue. It was an issue last year. He's soft. We just ignored it because he also had a great INT year.

 

[tonyseahawk]

Ya he's trash this year

I blame coaching more than the player...

HAHAAHAHA

I just wish guys would wrap up. I’m not talking DK threesome wrap up. Im not talking a new Subway DangerWrap.

I’m talking near foot/near shoulder, watch the waist, bear hug type of wrap.

This taking a shot with the shoulder is extremely poor form. If you’re built for it…and can time it…uh…sure.

Riq is an incredible athlete but he needs to bring some fundamental tackling form to his game.

Woolen is not a physical corner. We keep trying to make him one.

He plays well because of his speed. Physicality slows you down and it also draws penalties. So now he plays cautious, both not physical AND not fast.

His game was baiting for INTs and getting pass breakups. We asked him to play a different game, and now all his strengths are minimized and his weaknesses are emphasized.

Again, trying to force players to play like another player, instead of the player they are. I gave up thinking that would change.

He was a solid option at CB, and a bit of a field-tilter. Now he is a liability*.
Get ready to see them do the same thing with Spoon next year.

(*Which makes this FO a liability. If all the raw talent they find, they coach and mold to be ineffective for us. The one thing this FO does right is find raw talent. If every time they do this - they ruin the talent they find...not sure the value of the FO anymore.)

I think so too, younger players tend to react more and lose their focus easier if a scheme just ain't working
