When news got out that Mike Williams wanted to be more involved in the Seattle Seahawks offense it wasn’t a surprise, it was a relief. Someone needs to step up in Seattle and have the desire to get involved in the offense. Because, to be frank, it’s non-existent.
The team is 29th in the league in total offense, they average 10 points and 261 yards per game. They move the ball across the field about as fast as the grass on it grows.
The pile up a measly 14 first downs per game. Quick math: 261 yards and 14 first downs equals, well, bad.
Getting back to Williams, though. Through the first three games of the season, he’s only snared five passes for 43 yards. He finished last weeks game without a catch.
While Tavaris Jackson might not be Matt Hasslebeck, it’s hard to miss a 6-foot-5, 235 pounds wide receiver. Perhaps Jackson is to busy eluding defenders of his own.
Jackson has been sacked a league-high 14 times and has more rushing yards (45) through three games than Williams does receiving yards (43).
According to The Associated Press both Jackson and Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll said they need to get Williams more involved with the offense. And then the Seahawks offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell, agreed.
Perhaps instead of worrying about Williams’ involvement, the quarterback, head coach and offensive coordinator can investigate how to get the other 10 guys on the field to get involved.
Or at least act like it.
