NFL: Seattle Seahawks over the Denver Broncos
- 71-year-old Pete Carroll can sure jump high for a white man (can I say that?)
- visiting quarterback given warm welcome in Seattle
- I'll argue this was the best game of the first week
Permian:
- set to hit record production in October
- other plays will also increase or maintain
Market:

Upside of a QB playing against his former teams defense- He knows the schemes/various pre snap looks.
ReplyDeleteDownside- They know his strengths/weaknesses.
Pete admitted post game they set their pass rush to move Wilson to his left. He is far less effective moving left and coaching staff knew this.
Wilson may be worse than most moving to the left, but it is a fact that it's more difficult for all right-handers to throw when moving to their left.
