A locker room of huge ego’s and skill players, I just think by around game 8-9ish they’ll be .500ish and pointing fingers.
Seattle has drafted quite a few WRs, a lot in a recent memory... Golden Tate, Paul Richardson, Tyler Lockett, Amara Darboh, I’m sure I’m missing a couple.
Looks like Seattle is trying to reproduce Michael Bennett and Kam Chancellor with their current draft choices. The similarities are astounding.
Wait... what? Lockett is one of the best WRs in the NFL man. He just had a 50+ catch, 950+ yard, and 10+ TD season, not to mention Wilson had a literal perfect passer rating when throwing to Lockett last season. Paul Richardson also got paid a ton by the Redskins because of the ability he showed in Seattle.
Those guys are very hard to replicate, and I'd be scared as a Seahawk fan if they're trying to replicate almost impossible to replicate players. Seems like a team would overvalue the similarities and undervalue the dissimilarities.
He had one solid season, but I still don't view him as a solid WR. Probably have too high of a standard for what "solid" really means but -- Those TD numbers likely won't hold up. 57 catches on 950 yards is okay, but not solid IMO.
And I'm looking at recent seasons for Seattle - The past 3 or 4. IMO, Wilson makes Baldwin and Lockett look better than they really are. Imagine if they had real threats on the outside. With their iffy RB situation, they either need to commit to getting Wilson more talented targets in the passing game, or they need to make a move to upgrade at RB, instead of recycling "high-upside" guys that can't stay on the field.
Context FAMS... Seattle is a run first team, our receivers RARELY go over 1,000 yards. Lockett has always been a good receiver, top 5 surest hands in the league. I suggest watching some tape on him, it’s impressive, his route running, hands, body control, and field awareness are elite. With the offensive line improving, the receivers lives become a lot easier.
We had Jimmy Graham too, it doesn’t matter how much talent you have when your offensive line gives you two seconds (if that) to throw, our receiving core/tight ends were forced to improvise as much as Wilson was over the last 3 years. Luckily, things are changing.
Yeah, a run-first team with mediocre RBs, and with a great QB. What does that say about the WR-group? Or the coaching staff? I've watched him. I watch a lot of football. Never been impressed with their WRs, and you're probably a bit biased.
Meh, I refuse to believe it's just the offensive line. You have the best improv QB in the league and instead run mediocre RBs into the ground. On a legitimate playoff team, I don't see Baldwin or Locket as a WR1. Locket is a borderline WR2.
