Teams don't have the luxury of sitting back in 2 High, and squat on all of the underneath routes ala 2016, 2017.
Seattle will cram the run game down their gullets if they do that, as you should. No, they have to stack the box, and get exotic. Wilson can get the ball out quick against those type of defenses, see week 2 of 2019.
It's funny when you chalk up Wilson's issues in 2016, 2017 as if it were an inherent fatal flaw, when in reality it was a personnel, and coaching issue. He almost won the MVP in 2017 btw.

Not too shabby for a player who struggles to read zone defenses, eh Tical. (He doesn't struggle against zone defenses.)
He doesn't struggle against zone defenses, but he struggles reading them. Often that leads to him holding the ball rather than take a risk throwing the ball into something he doesn't trust. The lack of interceptions are a double-edged sword. Against zone, he typically does one of three things repeatedly. Watch the tape for yourself. I beg you. It's silly to continue to have this discussion in this format if you refuse to watch the tape.
Look, I hope as much as anyone that he has mastered the short passing game, I'll gladly pass often. I have thoughts as to why he was so successful this week, why it was predictable and not likely repeatable, but this is a week to just marvel at an outstanding performance.
LOL he does not struggle against zone defenses, but he struggles reading them. LOL that funny. Its also factually incorrect. As to the rest he spent almost all of 2015 doing the short passing game, so he can master
Whats silly is your need to continually say things that are factually false. The only thing you said that is right is we should enjoy this outstanding performance.oh an fFYI I have watched tape and nothing you say is as simple as you say, there are always variables that you fail to mention like, play call, oline, down and distance, etc. So once again factually speaking everything you say is wrong except enjoying the performance. But that for the laughs
"He doesn't struggle against zone defenses, but he struggles reading them." That is funny
Factually incorrect that Russell Wilson struggles reading zone defenses.
I don't know what you want me to say man. If you can't see it, I guess all the better for you. I dunno.
The 2015 season was an anomaly because we were a passing team playing against defenses that were gearing up to stop our running game. Of the 6 games I charted, we saw 60% man defense. We tried to replicate this success in 2016, but saw defenses switch to almost 60% zone, and unfortunately our success with the short passing game fell off a cliff. It wasn't until we got back to running the football and putting teams back into man defense and predictable coverages that we started to have success again. So, we way be able to play halves or games where we feature the short passing game prominently, but if we adopt that as our style, it will change the way that defenses play us, and that could greatly hamper our effectiveness and the efficiency of Russell Wilson. There's also a possibility that he is just that much better of a quarterback due to getting more experience and playing under Schotty, and it won't matter what defenses do, but I'd probably bet against it.
Leading up to the game, Seahawk2k was doing Steelers prep and concluded that their greatest vulnerability was a quick passing game, because of reasons I've mentioned in this and other threads. I thought that would make DK the benefactor, rather than Lockett, because Lockett hasn't shown much ability to get early separation. But it was a great adjustment and even better execution. Whether or not the success validates the opinion of everyone who believes the key to our success is opening up the offense and deploying a quick passing attack on a routine basis is a bit of a stretch though IMO.
