Mike Macdonald REVEALS why Riq Woolen was BENCHED in the Seahawks' DEFEAT vs. Vikings

[@retrocny5625]

Tariq Woolen there's always so much drama around him. Lack of effort, breaking team rules, lack of awareness in spots. It's a shame because he's been in the league a couple of years now and god damn the guy is the prototypical DREAM corner. Not only is he 6'4, but he ran a 4.2 40 yd dash. Freakish athlete with generational measurables. With the right discipline and coaching, I think Seattle expected that maybe they found their next Sherman. Hasn't worked out that way.

Pete Carrol would be the only one that could mold him and motivate

[@criskatan]

Tariq has gotten a few unfair calls. Remember the Cowboys game last season in Dallas? Those kinds of calls can wear on you.

Woolen's a bum.....

[@WayneWerbovetski]

What the heck was Woolen doing when he gets beat for the final Vikes TD? He looked confused as to who he should cover as Jefferson blew by him.

Geno is not our #1 problem. Offensive line is. Our D-line is better under McDonald. I’d draft OL, DL or linebacker, QB - in that order. We need to become more stout before we draft flash. This weakness always shows up against more physical teams. If you can’t run or stop the run- you lose important games. We stopped the run against Minnesota but we ran for a mere 59 yards! This puts way too much on our QB- who is decent but not great. We lead in passing yards simply because we stink at rushing. When you throw as often as we do- bad things happen often enough to hurt you.

Could a fan say that mental laziness from Metcalf in two games which resulted in two interceptions , which in turn, resulted in two loses, which in turn gave us an 8-7 record instead of a 10-5 record and sent us home out of the playoffs is a reasonable question to be asked? I was shocked when I listened to the announcer say that Metcalf’s touchdown catch was his first since game seven. WHAT!!? The guy is the highest paid player on the team…..what can you say about this Metcalf situation? Anything? He’s no Doug Baldwin threat. He disappears in games and is a horrible fantasy player. Our fan jerseys say Metcalf, but really, it is almost embarrassing and a downer to own them. Couple all of this with an offensive line that leaves you eyes wide shut play after play…and after ten years of Russell and Sundays with the Seahawks are mostly yawners.

@@beetlejuiceification for real he had a old stephen gilmore get into his head. And it affected him even after scoring. He never seems to be in the game.

[@Rob-xz3tu]

So why was Woolen benched? Violated a team rule. But what rule -- Macdonald doesn't say in this video.

[@tedsexton5406]

Could have been 4 ints.

[@Construct87]

Defense did enough but the offense is killing this team. Grubb needs to go and so does Geno. Again completely abandoned the run game and again insane INTs by Geno who keeps writing back

[@Smokey525]

The defense gave up 27 points (3 points via horrible INT). Geno and the offense gave us the lead which the defense couldn't hold.

[@andrewingram9076]

Offense shouldn't have to score 30 points a game to win. But defense shouldn't give up what they have been for years. Both lines need help, Geno is not a pro bowl qb that is his ceiling not his average.

[@jeffjennings3044]

@@Construct87 Seriously my guy… So sick of Geno bashing… Both interceptions weren’t his fault… 1. DK stays vertical on an out breaking route thrown to a spot at end of game.. Which he has done many time this year. 2. First interception was Fant not coming back to the ball and getting undercut.. C’mon at least know what you’re looking at.

[@seaor2k122]

What QB in the draft do you have in mind? What backup QB in the league do you think is better than Geno?

[@jeffjennings3044]

@@seaor2k122 If the Falcons move on from Cousins and go with Penix he may be a stopgap if it breaks down with a Geno extension.. Other than that there isn’t much.
