Seattle Seahawks: Is Something Wrong With D.K. Metcalf?

Where do the Seattle Seahawks go from here?
The difference between Hill and Metcalf right now is age. There’s hope that D.K. can add some little wrinkles to his game and find ways to make an impact when the deep ball isn’t there. It’s on the coaching staff to help convert potential into production.
I’d love to see offensive coordinator Shane Waldron incorporate more plays where D.K. is running slants or shallow crosses that allow him to use his speed to create some separation. Better yet, design the routes with a natural pick to create ways to make things easier for him. A game plan requiring him to run only go routes and hoping he can win jump balls play after play is not working.
I don’t question Metcalf’s work ethic or his effort. In fact, there’s no reason to think he can’t have a big game this week against a Vikings secondary that the Bengals and Cardinals shredded.
At the end of the day, I don’t think Metcalf can live up to the fans or his personal expectations. How he and the Seattle faithful handle that will determine what the rest of his career is like. So I implore you 12s, appreciate what you have even if it’s not quite what you thought it was.
