Would have been interesting to see Wilson play for Holmgren. Mike was all about tempo and getting to the line quickly.

I bet for no other reason that Pete gets the point as this franchisee doesn't want to lose their best QB come his next contract. Also the fans are calling for it too ala the Fire Bevell theme that happened a few years ago.

Agreed I also think other players including on the defense saying it helps. All that said we will see what happens.

Awesome to see RW being more assertive in establishing his influence on the team. He's the franchise and now he seems more willing than ever to use that status to make things happen.

This is his team more than Pete's now IMO.

Pete needs to step back from his ego and let RW do his thing, beginning with a more up-tempo offense which is where Russ is at his most dangerous/explosive.

YES-YES-YES.

Clearly Russell meant he wanted a change tempo.

we will see, the good part is if they try and it does not work they can always go back or modify.

The lack of urgency at the start of games has been killing them for years. I could see them finally changing that up, especially if the defense continues to get worse.

If that defense gets worse it won't likely matter what they do on offense even if they score 40 PPG.

I'm glad Wilson is starting to speak up. The offense is obviously good (top 5 DVOA) but some minor tweaks and it can be even better. Really hope you get back to posting your game thoughts this year!

Not to be a negative Nancy, but I'll believe it when I see it.

You're welcome. :mrgreen: Although I certainly took a lot of crap about that at first.

You're not the only one who has crapped on Bevell since his early years here and taken mad shit for it...though that group was small for the first few years.
