Your Bottom 5...

[Cyrus12]

Okay time to give your 5 that didn't meet expectations or fizzled this year. Guys with injuries all year should obviously be excluded. No coaches or managers...players only. In no particular order..

1. Russell Wilson- started out great and then like he has done in the past went downhill in the second half of the year.

2. Shaquille Griffen- I know he was injured a bit but I saw zero improvement this year. Just a guy at cb and not the guy moving fwd. Quinton Dunbar was also a huge disappointment.

3. Will Dissly- I could probably add every TE to this group but Dissly was mostly invisible this year even when Olsen was hurt. The entire TE group was underwhelming and signing Olsen was a waste of money. Not sure if Dissly was still on the mend but next year will be a make or break year.

4. Chris Carson- for a guy playing for a contract i didnt see much. He just didn't look as good as in previous seasons. Did not have explosiveness. Hes done in Seattle.

5. Cody Barton- other than special teams he was largely invisible. No signs he will pan out.

HM: the entire oline at times minus Brown.

I would of added Flowers and Quiem to this list but they are basically done here as are a few others who were fillers.

 

[hawkfan68]

1. Pete Carroll (He screwed up the offense, mostly RW, after the Bills game)
2. Schotty (Yes man...spineless jellyfish for an OC)
3. KNJ (see Schotty - he's the DC version of it...defense improved but was on a record pace for the worst defense the first few weeks)
4. Bobby Wagner (not nearly the impact he had in the past. Played solid but not great)
5. Roger Goodell (because he's Roger)

HM...Quinton Dunbar (wasted addition. Trade him and get a draft pick back)

 

[bevellisthedevil]

1. Griffen- Not so much coverage skills but he doesn't like to tackle and he gives up on plays that are not in his immediate area.

2. Tight Ends- all of them Dissly I give a pass to this year

3. WR3 - Is it really that hard to find a solid third receiver?

4. Adams - Expectation was high didn't know he would be a liability in the passing game. If he wants to play DE he has the sack numbers. (sarcasm)

5. Wilson - Love the guy think he is a great QB but the double clutching the second half of the season on about every dropback makes me think he needs a shrink during the offseason.

4. Olsen
5. Carson
HM. Shaquille

1. Did not meet expectations, IMUO. The defense was horrendous WITH HIM STARTING the first few weeks into the season. It didn't start to really come together until Dunlap came to town. He was the difference maker, not Jamal. What did Jamal have, 8-9 sacks? Great! Convert him to LEO then! You don't give up two first round picks and then have to she'll out a massive contract to a box safety who can't cover. Between his injuries and his play, it's been a bust. When will these morons stop with trading for malcontents/stars who bust in Seattle? Percy, Graham, Clowney, Adams (am I missing any)?

2. For as highly touted as this trade was, it was a snooze. First his idiotic legal troubles, then his injuries. Didn't look too good when he played, anyway.

3. I didn't expect much from Rasheem in the first place, but come on. What did he do, really? This was the year he needed to show something. Anything. Another missed 3rd round pick. Coming out of USC, he was billed as "having sky high potential". He was just a pup coming out, 20 years old. But still.

4. Wasn't a fan of the signing in the off-season, and it showed why. Old. Slow. Dropped easy passes. He was a stud TE in this league for a long time, but that time has come and gone. Will most likely cost this team a comp pick. Ed Dickson all over again.

5. Not much to say here. Injured yet again and never really stood out outside of the first few games. This was the year for him to up his game and earn that payday he's thirsting for. I've been saying it ever since he's been here, he's an average (at very best) RB. He ain't all that.

HM. The kid was in a contract year, and this is how he plays? He's never really taken his game to the next level. At least he's consistent I guess. Definition of "steady eddy". Not sure if that's a bad thing or a good thing.

Great picks so far.


1 Russell Wilson because that great start is history. Just not even close to right. I know we played top 5 defenses four games in a row, but he's bad Russell now.

2 Carson. Where did our running game go? We saved him for that?

3. TEs. All of them sucked at various times. Especially so much money for Olsen.

4. Dunbar. I thought he was awesome. He was so bad there in the middle of the season. Horrible.

5. Flowers. Scary having him in there.

P.S. jury's still out there on Adams, but we better be all in or we're screwed.

 

[Optimus25]

Jeesh man, Carson really?

I don't see him as a bottom 5 in any universe.

 

[nwHawk]

1. Russell Wilson - After trademarking "Let Russ Cook" and losing the MVP he looked defeated and really didn't ever regain his confidence. Passes looked off. Looked scared to challenge defenses unless the team was backed up against a wall.

2. David Moore and all wide receivers not named Lockett or DK Metcalf. I really felt like this team was over hyping the receivers. Part of the reason Tyler and DK both had huge years is because there wasn't anyone else.

3. Mike Iupati. I know he was injured, but what's new. He's a warrior, but his body just could not hold up. Right Guard was a black hole all season long. In hindsight I wish they would have kept Fluker and played Lewis at LG.

4. Quinton Dunbar - Just a waste all around. Plenty of distraction, had to adjust the off ball technique which Flowers seemed to try to duplicate with horrible results. Lost a pick to boot.

5. Rasheen Green was a big disappointment, again. Still a young guy and could end up having a very solid career, but he was disappointing this season.

 

[getnasty]

Not one vote for an offensive lineman yet we supposedly have the worst OL in the league.

For me the list goes

1-Dunbar. He was so good last year, just couldn't stay healthy.

2-TE's. All of them were a let down. Olsen seemed like a blanket for Russ until he got injured but overall really bad, especially Uncle Will.

3. Russell Wilson. Plenty of blame to go around with the offenses struggles but Russ was horrible in the pocket agaisnt good defenses.

4. Diggs. Probably just expected to much of him this year and he certainly had some splash play but few and far between. Worst pass defense in the league and he's the starting free safety.

5. Mike Iupati. I had to pick on of them and while i don't think Iupati was horrible he just wasn't reliable.

 

[pittpnthrs]

Pocic - the move to his natural position was less than underwhelming

Carson - hurt again and just didnt look good when he did play. I honestly think Collins is just as good.

TE - now I know why the team has 100 of them. None of them are very good.

Carroll - another year of antiquated schemes and philosophies

Fans - for not being able to see the obvious and thinking this year would somehow be different than the past 5 seasons

 

[getnasty]

People if you want to rag on Carson it needs to be for injury history. He ran for 4.8ypc best in his career, he also caught the most passes he has in his career. He looked great, you just didn't see it as much as you'd like.

 

[nwHawk]

Yeah, I don’t get the Carson disapproval either. Guy fixed his fumbling issues and ran hard. His biggest knock towards the Endor the year was trying to bounce plays outside too much, but the line was rough most of the time.

We will miss him. Some time is going to love what he brings to a stable.

 

[Mad Dog]

1. Schotty - could not muster a game plan that effectively used his biggest weapons for the last 10 weeks of the season after teams started employing more 2 deep safety looks

2. Wilson - became too tentative and lost the touch on his deep ball.

3. The secondary - preseason we were thinking LOB level talent and they fizzled, got injured, tackled poorly, etc. DJ Reed was the lone bright spot and he was largely an afterthought at the start of season.

4. Carroll - Any time your team lays a giant egg in a home playoff game is a sign the HC didn't do his job of ensuring a good gameplan and the team is motivated.

5. Norton Jr - Took too long to get the defense on board this season and gave up 23 points to a team playing a no name QB and a QB with a broken thumb. All he had to do was stop Cam Akers and he couldn't devise a plan that did that.

Defense was on the field all day so don't really blame Norton for this loss. Bobby did whiff on a big gain by them though. And 7 of those points came off a short field due to turnover.

Over the course of the season, defense significantly improved once Dunlap, Adams and Reed entered the picture.

We also saw little less soft zone toward the end. Pete mentioned specifically that KNJ suggested they go back to some of their earlier concepts, as one of the reasons for their turn-around.

Earlier concepts like playing man and bump and run instead of deep prevent zone.
