Check-down passes. Roll outs and throws to the sideline. Screens.
Just about everything except throwing the ball down the field.
This is the way it apparently has to be for Russell Wilson and the Seahawks’ passing game this season.
Sunday’s frantic, 36-31 loss to the 9-1 Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum showed again Seattle’s offensive line, while improved, cannot consistently protect Wilson for long enough for the quarterback to make big plays down the field. Not when the defense knows he has to throw it, such as on third downs or while behind by two scores in the fourth quarter.
