RENTON, Wash. -- "Perfect pitch! Perfect pitch!" Brian Schottenheimer shouts to Russell Wilson and the other Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks during organized team activities, emphasizing what he wants to see as they practice tosses to running backs.
"We need a great fake!" he reminds the group later as they work on play-action dropbacks.
One minute Schotteheimer is bouncing up and down in excitement after Wilson nails a throw into the end zone, the next he's crouching in a two-point stance over an imaginary A-gap, ready to bear down on Wilson as an oncoming pass-rusher would.
