The first year of an offensive coordinator is supposed to be wrought with regression and acclimatization issues. Just look at the data. And yet, with game 13 approaching, Russell Wilson’s maiden season with Brian Schottenheimer calling plays looks to be a career-best.
Having just turned 30 and playing his ninth campaign, the signal caller is flourishing behind Mike Solari’s fantastically transformed offensive line. Nowhere was this more apparent than the comfortable win over the San Francisco 49ers. The 7-5 Seahawks have a potent attack.
Particularly striking was the way in which Schottenheimer broke the coverage laws of Robert Saleh.
