In light of all the talk about play calling vs. Russell's performance, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at Wilson's average game stat line last season at Wisconsin vs. his averages for the Hawks so far this year.
--------- Comp - Att - % - Yards - TD - INT - YPA
Wisconsin - 16 -- 22 - 73% - 227 -- 2.3 - 0.4 - 10.3
Seattle ---- 15 -- 25 - 61% - 149 -- 1.0 - 1.0 - 6.2
Surprised? I was. Russell is actually averaging MORE passes per game so far as a pro then he did during his vaunted season at Wisconsin. But obviously his completion percentage, YPA, and TD % are way down, while his INT % is up. If he were to put up comparable numbers to the numbers he had at Wisconsin, that would be an absolutely outstanding season (3,600 yards, 36 TDs, 7 picks). So it's not that we need to throw the ball more, Russell just needs to be smarter about where he's throwing the ball, and possibly take a few more shots downfield.
