Seattle Seahawks: Is It Time To Stop Russell Wilson From Cooking?

Finding Solutions
Now that we know what’s broken, the question becomes, is this offense something that can be fixed. Is Russ willing to look in the mirror and admit that maybe Pete Carroll is right about occasionally keeping it conservative? At the same time, this isn’t 1990, and Pete’s desire to run fifty times a game also won’t work either. If only there were a compromise.
Wilson and Caroll were both vocal about how excited they were to add Shane Waldron as the offensive coordinator before the season began. He was the guy that would find a way to make everyone happy. Apparently, once the games started, however, it was time to ditch the offense and go back to Gallo ball (I’m trademarking the phrase).
For those of you who don’t follow baseball, slugger Joey Gallo is known for either hitting home runs or striking out. Even big Joey started bunting away from the shift by the end of the season, so maybe Russ will check down on occasion.
At the end of the day, it’s not about Carroll, Waldron, or Seattle’s receivers. It’s about Russ and making the right reads and decisions. Defenses have adjusted to him and the moon ball. Now it’s up to Russ to make his own adjustment and figure out how to turn things around. If not, maybe it’s time to blow everything up and start over next season.
