Seahawks already have perfect Riq Woolen replacement hiding in plain sight
Riq Woolen of the Seattle Seahawks | Jane Gershovich/GettyImagesCornerback Riq Woolen isn't just trending downward for how he has done in one week. He's been iffy in many aspects of his game since his second season in the league. As a rookie in 2022, he led the league in interceptions with six and appeared to play physical run defense.
Since 2022, he has had five picks total, and his missed tackle rate doubled. He was awful in the San Francisco 49ers' final drive of Week 1, giving up a 45-yard gain and a touchdown pass after that. If one person should take the blame for the loss, it is Woolen.
