Analysis: Here’s why Russell Wilson has been better in 2018 than he was in 2017

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.
