I have to say, I always find Russell's performance pretty lousy in preseason games one and two. He's a great, but he's never been any good at coming out with any rhythm when he will only be playing one or two series. It's almost like his mentality, is just get out there and survive it. Preseason game three though shows he's still the same old DangerRuss!
I think in many ways we have a better team than last year. I don't expect an impenetrable offensive line, but I think these guys will do a much better job than last year and a I certainly hope for less injury. I think we have better depth even so. I was very much in favor of letting Okung move on, because he has never been good for a full season of work and such problems are never likely to get better over time. That said though, Wilson is the kind of QB who can thrive with an above average, yet not great offensive line.
I think the big area of improvement is in the run game. I mean we have Russelll and we have receivers very capable of serious production and passing is where today's game is at, but with all the talent and depth in the running game, this is sure to improve the passing game by keeping teams a lot more honest. As much as I will miss Marshawn, we have guys who are capable of some serious running attacks this year and three very solid ones instead of just one. We can even stand an injury, God forbid and still put up a serious run attack.
As far as defense, I don't think this staff will ever field anything less than a very good defense. I have my concerns about the usual things, pass rush and run defense, but I have a feeling once the season gets rolling, we're gonna see what we're used to, a defense that is very difficult to score touchdowns on, one that limits other teams to a lot of field goals.
Overall, I think we are probably a more solid and well rounded team than we've ever seen fielded in Seattle, and now is the time when Russell Wilson has a chance to show last year's brilliance was no fluke. I think it might be our year again and her's hoping that's so. I guess that's why the games are played though, cuz we will soon see.
I like our chances. :mrgreen: :irishdrinkers: :mrgreen:
