It was just over a year ago that the Seattle Seahawks cleaned house in their coaching room, and replaced offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell with Brian Schottenheimer. According to head coach Pete Carroll, one of the reasons Schottenheimer was brought in was to “challenge Russell like he’s never been challenged before.” This was on display for the majority of the 2018 season, as Russell displayed a level of quarterback mechanics and pocket discipline that he had not previously displayed.
However, against the Dallas Cowboys last Saturday night, some of Wilson’s old habits showed through and cost the team, specifically the depth of his drop in the pocket.
