Go Army!
You notice in that quote from PC that he says the key to the whole thing was improvement of the pass pro? They didn't just decide to be in a better rhythm or pass better from the pocket during that stretch. It was enabled because there was a better pocket to pass from.I won't want RW to never take off, would just like it to be the secondary part of his game. What I remember about that historic stretch was the passing.
Pete Carroll: Russell Wilson is “best he’s been” from the pocket
“I think the pocket being so consistently solid for him makes a huge difference,” Carroll said. “The rhythm, since the (bye week), we’ve really tried to feature a fast rhythm and making sure he’s really got a chance to get the ball out fast to keep the pressure off of the guys up front. All of that has happened with more earnest because of how the start was. I think it’s a combination, but I really think the guys up front are really improving and that’s what’s made the difference for us.”
The part in bold is something I'd like to see this season. Feel if the Seahawks do that again there won't be the big need to bail out of the pocket so quickly. I don't think the offense really had a chance to function last year with all the injuries, especially to RW, but also the entire RB corp and the OL which required constant shuffling.
Hoping for a big season from the Seahawks this season. It's important, because very soon ( year or two ) a lot of the key defensive players could be gone. Need that offense to pick up the slack, if need be.
