When the final whistle sounded on the Seattle Seahawks season, it marked the end of the third loss of the year to the rival San Francisco 49ers, with none of the three losses being anywhere near particularly close. In addition, it marked the third time during the 2022 season that the Niners had effectively shut down the Seattle offense by effectively erasing the receiving threats not named DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett from the game.
On Saturday Field Gulls own Frank Raines detailed the need for Seattle to address the third wide receiver spot behind Metcalf and Lockett, and anytime that idea is proposed there is significant pushback from some fans that the tight ends are able to fill that role for the Seahawks.
