It seems Russell Wilson has had that same issue with deep shell coverages. I've seen a fair number of Seahawk fans mentioning that over the past few days.

Coming out of college, Wilson's big plus was his intermediate accuracy. Over the past few years, he's basically thrown that out the window in favor of the deep ball, which he's still really good at, but can be more easily neutralized by soft shell coverages. He's struggled against Cover 2/3 concepts, much like other QB's that rely on the deep ball exclusively.
I think he can get his groove back but the offense will have to be tailored for it - Seattle didn't do him any favors by building the offense the way they did.
