Danny Kelly: NFL has Bevell's number in passing game

[MontanaHawk05]

i harped on it during the game a little too, but the offense really has struggled to run their pass offense outside of wilson improv

Have heard both Greg Cosell and Mike Holmgren mention that Seattle's pass offense has 'basic route concepts' and is predictable.

Seattle's deep play-action game seems pretty invisible - teams have schemed it into obscurity. Gotta figure out the intermediate stuff

how many times have we seen Russell roll out on a bootleg & then just keep running & running & running. Nothing opening up- teams scheming

obviously, still 5-1 & things are going well. But just looking at some things longer-term. Some of that stuff should need to get cleaned up

There was a flurry in there in the 2nd half, I think, where Wilson hit on a few quick intermediate passes in the middle of the field

Couple to Baldwin and Kearse. Those are the things that we need to see the offense start getting more frequently, I think

Danny knows his stuff like nobody else in the Seahawks blogosphere. It's a good reminder that Wilson scrambling is really a failure by the overall offense and not ideal, especially when it's bringing you 80% of your team's third downs as it did today. Wilson can get his bell rung on a scramble the same as any QB. Harvin may not necessarily be a quick fix if Bevell can't utilize him well.

Bevell is really greedy. Maybe it's really Pete, as a lot of these tendencies were here under Bates as well, but it's greedy. The passing offense is decidedly unbalanced in favor of deep routes. We have seen some quick options in there, there's really no other alternative given the poor pass pro, but proportionally very little intermediate.

Sucks to see him running so much and HAVING to dive rather than slide to keep us in a game.

The pass pro was decent today, the schemes on offense were horrendous. It almost seems as though the team is too scared to open it up. Either way the shit needs to be put together.

His concepts are painfully obvious and basic. Verts, boot, and now slants. That's about it. The play action game caught fire today in the 2nd half, but we still have no ability to pick apart underneath coverage. Another week, and nothing inside the hashes.

What's amazing is even with all the play extending Russell does we stil rarely see uncontested receivers.

Haven't seen the pass protection good most of the season and definitely not today.

Maybe we can't open it up ? Maybe there is something to this? And we are 5-1 in spite of our poor offense

I really really hope our offense has the same kind of turnaround we had the second half of last year. I'm praying that the play calling is holding something back.

Suggested this earlier during the game. I watch a lot of games every week, and the reoccurring theme I feel during the Hawks game is our WRs are ridiculously blanket covered every play. Every catch seems like its a miracle grab or super tight window, the receiver grabs it and is immediately dropped. I honestly don't think it's just the talent of our corp. a wide open receiver is few and far between these days.

Montana, IMO you're just as qualified as Mr Kelly to say this yourself. You don't need to use him as a 3rd party.

For real.

This isn't me hiding behind someone else; Danny's knowledge of route concepts (and everything else football) honestly dwarfs my own.

Never assumed you we're hiding, assumed you we're being humble. Wait, as I typed that I realized how stupid that sounds, Montana...humble.

I have a really bad feeling that both the team and the fan base are thinking Harvin is going to magically cure the offense. I don't... But I guess we will see

So is it okay to talk about Bevell now, .Net?

 

[Missing_Clink]

Yea it's not good. Doesn't seem like there is a quick fix outside of possibly Harvin I guess. But it's not like they can suddenly reset the offense and make these guys decent with the intermediate routes. They clearly don't know what they are doing on those plays, and the personnel is not up to it on pretty much all levels of the offense. It's frustrating

Depends on if theENGLISH is hear. He thought it was lame scapegoating last year, but he's gone. Go at it!

 

[brimsalabim]

Deon and Marshall Fulk said the same things last week pretty much verbatim.

 

[KK84]

One thing a healthy Harvin could do is help us figure out if the lack of separation from the receivers is their fault or Bevell's. If Harvin doesn't jump start the passing game, there's definitely something wrong.
