Russell Wilson is not safe. Not playing behind the Seahawks offensive line, which has somehow found a way to get worse after a terrible 2016 season for this unit.

The film from the Packers game is ugly. The numbers are even worse. Wilson was pressured on 39.4% of his dropbacks in Green Bay. Unsurprisingly, he finished the game with a passer rating of 69.7 and completion percentage of 51.9%.

It wasn’t just that the offensive line was surrendering pressure, it was how quickly that pressure was getting to Wilson that submarined the Seahawks offense, which produced just nine points in the Week 1 loss.

This blocking is just flat-out unacceptable…

Left tackle Rees Odihambo shouldn’t be on an NFL roster. He definitely should not be starting on opening day. And we saw proof of this all day long Sunday…

Seattle’s big free agent acquisition, Luke Joeckel, wasn’t much better, which will come as a surprise to exactly zero Jaguars fans.

And anyone who even attempted to block Mike Daniels was instantly dismissed by the Packers defensive end.

The Seahawks offensive line is bad. Horrendous at certain positions, including the most important one. But (and if you read the headline, you were waiting for the “but”) the line was not solely responsible for the high pressure rate against Green Bay. Wilson deserves his fair share of the blame, as well.

On numerous occasions, Wilson bailed from clean pockets or panicked too early and ran into pressure, which has been an issue throughout his career.

There’s no reason to leave this pocket. Wilson evacuates a good pocket, ignores his checkdown and runs into pressure.

Here he runs right into the arms of Nick Perry after his first option is taken away…

Again, there’s no reason to leave this pocket. And Wilson had his running back open on the backside of the play…

Though he turns it into a three-yard gain (hardly a disaster) this is sub-Gabbert level pocket presence.

That’s a huge pocket, and he has a back coming wide open. Wilson doesn’t see it because his back, for some reason, is turned to the field.

This next one is a little less obvious. There is pressure, but Wilson has room to climb the pocket and keep his eyes downfield. Had he done so, he would have seen Doug Baldwin working against a linebacker. Instead he runs into another sack.

The frustrating thing is we’ve seen Wilson hang in there a make throws downfield against pressure. We just don’t see it enough. Here’s an example from Week 1.

The pass isn’t completed but this is the quarterbacking the Seahawks need from their franchise player if they’re going to overcome their pass-blocking deficiencies in 2017. We know Wilson is capable of doing this; we just need to see him do it consistently.

Wilson still deserves all the sympathy he gets for the atrocious line he’s playing behind. And these years of running for his life (along with his height) have probably led to this lack of pocket presence. But there’s no denying that he creates his own problems at times. He certainly did on Sunday, and his line did not need any help in that department.
