Russell Wilson and O line

So if the Hawks keep going cheap on o line talent then I recommend they do what the 2001 Patriots did back then when throwing the ball. RW gets the snap, steps back two or 3 quick steps and throws it to the WR or TE for a 3 to 5 yard completion. Of course, do this only between the 5 yard lines (SB 49 reference). It is boring football but it might work to help them win games.

Maybe its the holiday cheer talking, but, looking to find a semi silver lining to the 2016 season: the hawks Are VERY lucky that the poor play of their O line has not let the million dollar QB suffer a massively serious injury like Thomas or Locket.

Yes Russell has been baldy wounded three times this year thanks to the o line not protecting him well but during the off season he should recover fully. However, if he continually plays behind such a porous O line for many more years he might loose his confidence.

Then we become predictable. The Patriots and Cowboys can pull off the short passing game precisely because they have a great O-line. That makes defenses honest. They don't know if you'll go long or short

With a bad o-line, it's chaotic. You don't know who's gonna be the revolving door. Is it gonna be from the left tackle or the right? It unsettles timing and confidence, hence why we aren't using the short passing game. What we actually need is a running game, and Russell Wilson escaping pressure and making defenses pay with 5-20 yard runs. That's what will work and that's what we did in the 2nd half against the Cards
