Russell Wilson stepped on the field and opened more eyes.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens is back to weigh in with his thoughts on the NFLX Week 1 game between the Tennessee Titans vs. Seahawks. For the most part Matt Flynn showed exactly what I had hoped we would see from him. Bobby Wagner only had 4 tackles in the game, he seemed to always be around the ball. Can’t wait till next week vs. Manning and the Broncos in Denver.
NWSB Insider Reggie Gill brings us a list of futility for current Seattle Seahawks players. Ex-GM Tim Ruskell was known for wanting a squeaky clean team, but Pete Carroll and John Schneider changed the ambience of the locker room.
