Until Russell Wilson takes the first snaps of the season for the Seattle Seahawks, the question of whether he will play for someone else instead of next season will continue.
Wilson has used the seasons to express some frustration over how many hits have been made to the team and said he wants to get involved in more aspects of the team, including his new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
Recently retired tight end Greg Olsen spent last season with the Seahawks and talked about how he sees the relationship between Wilson, Tim and Pete Carroll, the way Wilson feels and now he expresses himself more, and If he sees Wilson playing in a podcast look with Colin Cowhard somewhere else in the second season.
Olsen ultimately believes the two sides will find the right way to move forward together.
“I think it’s a pie in the sky,” Olsen said of the possibility of playing elsewhere. “I don’t think Seattle… you can’t take these obstacles. If you’re taking the odds today, it’s back to Seattle. They fix things that both of them agree on and the organization needs to get better to move forward. “
So what did Olsen do about Wilson’s decision to try to take advantage of the Seahawks in a more vocal and specific direction? He thinks Wilson is beginning to experience a bit of his football mortality and is rushing to win another Super Bowl of urgency for him and he can show that he can do without effective defense and a rushing attack.
“He has the right to say he needs to be a player and to have it, at the Tom Brady level, at the Payton Manning level,” Olsen said. I know he’s trying to be the same. This is how he sees himself. And right now, he knows his career, you know, he’s almost at double digits. He can say whatever he wants, ‘I’ll play 20 [years]‘It feels good to handle. It is difficult to guarantee. He knows he’s in the flesh of his career, his window of victory is now, and there are things he knows he needs to achieve what he’s achieved and I’m not to blame him.
“Rush knows that if he wants to get into that category I believe he already has, he needs to win more Super Bowls. And he needs it now. It’s not a Legion Bo f boom. It’s not days these days, now he wants weight on his shoulders, he wants it to become an aggressive running philosophy and team. Are they willing to let him run the Seattle Seahawks that way? I think it’s crossroads right now. After staying there for a year. I’m not sure which way they go. “He’s a very professional, high-level person, I’m probably running for office. But his legacy is important to him, and I don’t blame him. He has lost a one-time, Super Bowl Champ, a one-time Super Bowl. That’s important to her. He wants to win three, four, multiple Super Bowls, and he wants to be on his back because he’s the same kind of rival. Will the Seattle Seahawks ever say, ‘Here are the keys, let us win the Super Bowl humiliatingly.’ I’m not sure. “
But Olsen also said that Carroll and Seahawks have every right to give their success and track record, believing that the way they got closer to the game is also very nice.
“And I don’t blame her,” Olsen said of Carroll. “He’s one of the most influential people I’ve ever run around with. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything, disagree … He runs a football team that is incredibly efficient, attention to detail, situations, coaching. His team meeting is 35 minutes and you sit there full time on the edge of your seat because he doesn’t just spend fl ted funo. So I can get it. Both people know that they are capable of living in the best of all time. They have a slightly different vision of how it happened.
“We won 12 games last year. Right? I believe people lost in the first round of the play we took and, you know, they don’t have quarterbacks and that’s all. At the end of the day, no one has won more than Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks to start a person’s career. So success there has made them a bit too, you know, it almost spoiled them a little bit. If they can’t win the Super Bowl, that’s a huge failure, yes. But most organizations, they cut their legs to win 12 games a year, so, I think they are lucky in that regard. They have set such a mark that it is a Super Bowl or Bust, which is wonderful. ”
