The other Willson


Recommended Posts

With much of the National Media questioning the use of the TE we love to hate, it's another Seattle TE that draws my focus. In 2 games against us last year, including the defensive slugfest in the Regular season, Luke Willson caught 5 passes for 90yards, but more importantly two very timely TD passes. The only team he has even close to the same receiving production against is the Arizona Cardinals. Do you feel he just gets forgotten about in critical moments or is it a scheme issue? I worry about seeing Seattle in a two TE set or dropping one of them back as an H back. I know he's primarily used as a blocker in the games I've watched this year, but he can easily be looked over in critical situations, I don't want to see Willson slip out the back side for a TD like we do with Olsen.

We are gonna learn a lot about Shaq this weekend. He has to be solid in coverage on this the biggest stage he's played on yet! Don't focus so much on shutting down Jimmy that we forget about a player who burned us twice last year. Shaq has the advantage physically and it ain't close, but a mental lapse in judgement can cost is big time! Just some food for thought this hump day!

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
