The only intelligent criticism of Bevell I've ever seen came from Scottemojo, who had some actual X's and O's on why certain things Bevell did were dumb.
The hand-wringing over The Call is misplaced. The problem wasn't calling a doable pass play on third down in order to save clock for a possible fourth down, but the fact that Seattle's goal-line playbook was so thin that Patriots players knew it was coming. Seattle's offense had been dumbed down for Wilson since he got here. That was what killed us on the call, and it was Pete's doing, not Bevell.
So meh with Bevell. Stone-cold average OC. He wasn't the problem, but Wilson was never going to realize his full potential under him, either.
The whole world AGREES that Our Offensive Line was one of the WORST LINES in all of Pro Football, that lands full on Tom Cable's shoulders....It wasn't Darryl Bevell who was getting restrained &hushed by Doug Baldwin when Russell Wilson was addressing the O-Line on the sidelines, it was TOM CABLE.
Bevell's biggest obstacle was trying to design plays, using Cable's screwed up O-Line.
I can very well see why shit got dummied down to ridiculous.
What else could Bevell do, ESPECIALLY with Tom Cable in charge of COACHING the Offensive Line to making the Run Game VIABLE?
No Pass Protection....Cable's fail.
No Run Game, again....Cable's fail.
