SEATTLE -- Russell Wilson was as blunt as he's ever been earlier this offseason when he put public pressure on the Seattle Seahawks to beef up his pass protection. With Pro Bowl left tackle Duane Brown not practicing as he seeks a new deal, Wilson is again speaking candidly about the importance of getting his best offensive lineman back on the field.
In his first comments to Seattle-area reporters since the start of training camp, Wilson made no attempt to downplay Brown's continued absence.
"Not having Duane Brown out there is a pretty significant deal because I think he's one of the best left tackles in the game, there's no arguing it," Wilson said Sunday after the Seahawks' mock game at Lumen Field.
