Wilson got hurt in week one and week three with injuries that severely hampered his running and ability to escape the pocket all year long. Wilson's career rushing average coming into 2016 was 5.85 ypc last year he averaged 3.6 ypc. Russell has always hid the OL's shortcomings. The OL got exposed further with the injuries to Rawls and Prosise. Rawls injured his leg again week two got shutdown and didn't look right until the playoffs. Prosise played only six games due to injury but showed flashes. The Seahawks Scored 31 and 26 points in back to back weeks in road wins vs. NE and Phi with Prosise playing a huge role before being injured in the Eagles game. BTW the Seahawks were 7-2-1 at that point and on their way. With the additions of Joeckel, Aboushi and Pocic. Fant, Ifedi, Glow and Odhiambo all with another year under their belts plus the pickup of Lacy should help as well. While i don't think the OL will be in the top 10. It is hard to say that the OL won't improve i could see them ranking in the 17-22 range which would be a massive improvement over last year where everything that could go wrong went wrong. just my two cents!
There's definitely shortcomings to PFF, but injuries to Wilson and RBs are totally independent of lineman grades.
Like NFL teams PFF is grading individual players on an individual basis -- regardless of if Wilson gets sacked or throws an 80 yard TD the lineman's grade on the play is based on his performance on that play and is the same.
