Seahawks QB Russell Wilson holding on to the ball is only part of the reason for his sacks

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been sacked 31 times this season. While the offensive line has been bad, Wilson has been criticized for holding onto the ball too long as well. However, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell says that is only a small part of the problem. "I would say it's probably a minor problem," Bevell said. "But there's definitely times when Russell could help out the protection and get it out. The fine line is there is he does such great things with his feet. We coach really hard the second-chance opportunities. You've seen times where we haven't blocked it very well, and he ends up escaping and making plays, and we get a second-chance opportunity down the field.
