Analysis: The Tape Behind Seahawks' Third Down Failures

The Seahawks, as an offense, went 2-for-10 on third down in their 23-13 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, continuing their dreadful year in such situations.

This year, Russell Wilson has thrown a league-low 10 passes that moved the sticks on third down. He also compares poorly to backup Geno Smith:

Russell Wilson: 13-of-37 (35 percent), 218 yards, 10 first downs, 5.9 YPA, 62.7 rating

Geno Smith: 15-of-22 (68 percent), 139 yards, eight first downs, 6.3 YPA, 85.2 rating

Maybe you guys should have signed Geno Smith....the reports of Wilson looking lack-luster so far in camp inst good.

"My #1 priority is to get the most wins money can buy...I think that with my wealth and influence, it gives us a distinct advantage in a competitive league. Games are sometimes won by the flip of a coin...if you know what I mean. We have already improved our offensive line to 4th best and I expect immediate improvement in other areas also. I would like thank my friends at ESPN for the evaluation. We're building a winner here in Denver"

Broncos are going to implode by end of the season. Russ will start blaming his O-line when he holds the ball too long and they are going to just let him get killed for it.

Players took a water break. Back to it now

Russ pressured (maybe a sack) and unloads one deep to Jeudy, who works back inside on OJ to make the reception and then crosses up Sterns.

Maybe not a TD in live game action, but one was definitely possible

Knowmo's trolling is nuts

This guy yearns for our approval.

So he threw for 135 first downs last year, but only 10 were on third down? I don’t think I believe that.

Patrick Surtain looks like a very good player, but Paton doesn’t get to hang his hat on those. That’s a top 10 draft pick.

This and next years draft will tell a lot about him. Veach didn’t have a 1st rd pick last year and nabbed Bolton, Creed and Trey. All steals. Paton will need to hit on those.

Chris Jones
Travis Kelce
Tyreek Hill
Nick Bolton
Creed Humphrey
Trey Smith
L’Jarius Sneed

Paton will need to find good players like those in rd’s 2-7

It was from a Sports Illustrated article...FWIW.

So what am I supposed to be looking at here? I've seen three wimpy dudes with a helmet before.

So pro football reference has splits by down. In 2021, Wilson threw 103 times on 3rd down, resulting in 41 first downs and 8 TDs.
