Saints know Russell Wilson is hurt, but still 'uberly dangerous'

METAIRIE, La. -- Injuries have done something to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson this season that few defenses have been able to manage.

They’re keeping Wilson corralled in the pocket, limiting his lethal ability to scramble and extend plays.

But New Orleans Saints defensive players insist they are still on high alert ahead of Seattle's Week 8 visit because they know how dangerous Wilson can be, even at less than 100 percent.

“I mean, he’s an All-Pro, Pro Bowl, elite-caliber quarterback that can make every pass, every read on the field,” said Saints defensive end Darryl Tapp, who faced Wilson last season while playing for the Detroit Lions.
