Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson doesn't have the exceptional stats to prove how good of a season he is having but he is doing everything he needs to do to help the team win, and Pete Carroll thinks that he has been phenomenal.
The Seahawks have turned into a run-first team, but Wilson has total control of the offense and is still making the big plays when they need to be made.
“There's always a couple of passes that get away in there somewhere, but the way he's running the club, it's a great way for us to play,” Carroll said via ESPN. “To be able to hammer the football like that, and he takes full advantage of that by having guys open. The throw he threw to Tyler Lockett [on his 52-yard touchdown] was exquisite; it was just a phenomenal throw. On most of those bigger plays, and the touchdown plays, it's worth noting how well he was protected. The pass protection was excellent, and only in a couple of situations and real long situations did we have a breakdown. But it wasn't because we couldn't protect him. We held the ball a little bit, just trying to make some plays.
“Russell's doing a phenomenal job with our offense. I love the way it's fitting together. We have to keep going.”
This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Seahawks but all the team has done is win seven games and currently sit in the first wild-card spot.
The Seahawks have a couple of tough games left on their schedule against the Minnesota Vikings and the Kansas City Chiefs, so Wilson is going to need to continue his excellent play.
