This guy should know better. He's got the inside scoop, but now even he's gone off the deep end, yelling at the Defense, blaming Tre Flowers (as if One Player can be the cause).
Jake Heaps pointing the finger at the defense has the potential to start a wedge between the Defense and the Offense? Why? Because he's Russell Wilson's buddy, and it will be easy for the Defense to start thinking that Jake is echoing Russell Wilson.
Absolutely idiotic! "How to Trash a Team 3 games in to the Seaosn"
Step 1: Jake Heaps "Say it's over, and blame the Defense as a way to misdirect attention on the Offense."
(He didn't actually say "It's over," but for a former NFL player, and confidant of the starting QB to go off like this, it's easy for fans to jump to that conclusion." This is completely unprofessional behavour.
Step 2: Have Bob Stelton parrot .NET "Fire Norton" Really? And then he claims that the Defense's improvement last year basically doesn't matter because they played bad teams.
EVERY NFL team can beat ANY other NFL team, and there are rarely bad teams. If there were bad teams, we wouldn't have changing of the guard every single year.
Step 3. Have Mike Salk and Brock Huard spread Doom & Gloom around the PNW. They did the same exact thing last year.
One would have thought that we won the NFCW by pure luck. Even though we're in the the best divsin in football. AND, this is not new. The NFCW has produced the best teams/division year in and year out for over a decade. Just look at how many Superbowl teams we've produced.
Step 4: Let's add someone else to the Doom & Gloom crowd. Rob Staton. I love Rob, and admire his work, but the last 2 years, he's been on the same sinking boat at Brock Huard. There is no in between with either of these guys. It's all bad.
Step 4: Let's give up before the season has even started, and not give any credit to the other teams being any good.
Here's a news flash! The RUNNING GAME is IMPORTANT in the NFL!!! Everyone has complained about "Pete Ball," but look at the teams that have beat us by winning Time of Possession. They have an excellent running game.
And when have the Seahawks been good? When they're able to run the ball. Is it any coincidence that this team's success has mirrored the success of Marshawn Lynch and Chris Carson?
Please people, it's NOT OVER! And let's put a stop to all the bickering, finger pointing, and "blame mongering!" Geebus! THat's all I've heard from 710 ESPN! "Who's to blame!" "Let's tear somebody down!"
People are griping about Pete's press conference. I applaud him! Why? Because he's following Rule #1 Protect the Team. He's smart enough to know that pointing the finger can only cause disintegration in a sport that relies explicitly on team play!
But apparently, that's not the popular approach!
Everyone wants someone to blame. Someone to point the finger at. Why? Because that takes zero effort. Zero thought. They can play the blame game, then feel good about themselves for solving the problem. That seems to be the approach at 710. After all, it's much easier than actually doing any work.
