Colin Cowherd: “Russell Wilson I can tell you isn’t happy with Pete Carroll. He likes his teammates and Seattle, it’s a PETE CARROLL thing. The offense is outdated and the analytics people for several years have rolled their eyes at the Seahawks offense. That’s not my opinion, I’ve had three different Seattle players tell me that they feel like they’re running a 1980’s offense. Since the death of Paul Allen, Pete Carroll has unquestioned power in my opinion. It’s a lopsided franchise where the coach has too much power over the playbook, has too much power over the quarterback, too much power over the franchise, and too much power over John Schneider. The offensive line has been sub-optimal since they traded away Max Unger, a very talented center, and Russ doesn’t believe he’s been given the respect that he deserves… What is happening in Seattle is the offense is outdated, but the defense is no good and that’s Pete’s specialty. In the last five years, Seattle’s defense has gone from 5th, to 11th, to 16th, to 26th, to 22nd, and too often Russell Wilson feels like a life preserver for a franchise that can’t stop anybody… Guys like Russell Wilson are saying ‘WHAT THE HELL! Look at Brady’s defense and Brady’s weapons!!’ It’s the ‘Tom Brady Effect’ and Russell Wilson feels like he doesn’t get any say in personnel and the playbook like Brady. All this is happening after Brady won the Super Bowl… I think Pete has too much power, Pete doesn’t wanna relinquish it, and Russell Wilson has earned the right to say more than just ‘Go Hawks.’ He’s a top 5 quarterback running an outdated offense who virtually has no say. I’ve been told he’s not going to be traded, but this is fluid.” (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks Pete Carroll has way too much power on the Seahawks, and why he thinks an outdated Seahawks offense combined with a deteriorating Carroll defense has Russell Wilson suddenly wanting much more influence and say in the organization.
Check out the video above as Colin details the strained relationship between Wilson and Caroll, and why he thinks the timing of Wilson’s sudden disillusioned remarks about his future in Seattle coincide with Tom Brady’s Super Bowl run in Tampa that saw Brady have a massive effect on personnel decisions and playbook design.
