Interesting tidbit on Seahawks CB’s

[Jazzhawk]

From a PFF article today on Lockdown Percentage. Our very own Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe are among top 10. What is Lockdown Percentage you ask? From the article:

What is Lockdown Percentage? ​

This metric focuses on coverage, measuring how well a defender prevents a receiver from getting open. It excludes plays where the defender intentionally gives up space to protect the first-down marker or limit yards after the catch.

Maybe we shouldn’t trade Woolen after all?

Here is a screen shot of the top 15ish for your review.

Whoda thunk the Jets would field the top pair of CBs in the league?

It's sounding like the Hawks will be keeping Tariq, and I think they'll come out winners doing so. However, if he has an impressive showing tomorrow vs the Commodes, wouldn't be surprised if another team sweetens the trade pot to try to get him.

Woolen isn't a bad corner but he loses focus at crucial times. Sometimes it looks like he doesn't trust himself. Its weird that a guy can look fantastic for a series and then look lost the next.

it’s the incredibly inopportune moments that he takes a dump that make us hate on him.

I’ve said all along that he’s not bad.

He's not bad at all, until he's costing the team the game. That's the rub.

I'm basically a coin flip with Woolen. I don't hate him, and I don't love him... I just wish the bone head plays and lack of effort would stop, and he's starting to turn the corner a bit as of late, I hope he continues with it..

I'd say it's up to his teammates to get on him about the focus thing. He's got skills, just needs to apply them consistently. That was one of the traits of the LOB. They held each other accountable, even when the coaches didn't.

And they're being wasted in that franchise.

This is the truth.

Problem is that’s a very rare dynamic, and there is a fine line between that working and causing worse problems.

Hopefully they get it sorted out soon.
