Russell Wilson was hardly the problem with the Seattle offense in 2017.
But smoothing out some of the rough edges in Wilson’s game was a significant factor in coach Pete Carroll’s offseason makeover of the Seahawks’ offensive coaching staff — Carroll fired coordinator Darrell Bevell and line coach Tom Cable.
Consider that when Carroll hired Brian Schottenheimer to replace Bevell as OC, and as de facto quarterback coach, he said: “He’s got good quarterback background. So I really like all of that for challenging Russell, giving him new looks, new outlooks, new perspective, possibly, just to continue to grow.
