Seattle coach Pete Carroll: Russell Wilson has ankle sprain
The Dolphins have been in turmoil for several years at the top despite being big spenders in free agency. “I think people have recognized them before but I think with social media and the things that are going on out there, the media outlets, everybody has a chance to really show what is going on and their ideas and having a chance to really protest what they think is wrong with America and that’s OK, that’s what it’s about”.
Wilson’s mobility was limited after the injury but he was able to scramble a couple of times on Seattle’s final drive, which was capped by his 2-yard TD pass to Doug Baldwin with 31 seconds left.
But it appears that ankle is still pretty much bothering him even he thought he could just shake it off and that everything will be fine.
“He was better the more he realized what it was, what was going on, what it felt like”, Carroll said.
Dolphins coach Adam Gase doesn’t view it as a distraction. There are multiple players on this roster that have the ability to change the outcome of games, and they must appear on a more consistent basis. “I thought it was a good gesture for his team, what his players want to do”.
Tannehill Should Benefit from the Hiring: If there is a coach that can bring out the best in Ryan Tannehill it is Gase and while the Dolphins are paying him like a franchise QB, he’s yet to produce like one.
Asked if the Seahawks are looking to sign a veteran backup, Carroll said: “Yeah, we are considering all of that”.
Miami allowed four sacks on Sunday, and only averaged just over three yards in the run game.
Tannehill didn’t dwell on it, determined to move on, “I don’t know what happened on his end, but that’s football”. How many times have we seen lesser teams play Seattle tight until the very end? We had other opportunities other than that to make plays, …
The Dolphins almost pulled off a big upset on the road and the DL was a big reason why. That’s impressive. Cameron Wake rolled back the clock, while Mario Williams looked like his old self.
He was sacked four times.
Carroll, in fact, noted that Wilson seemed to recover as the Miami game wore on. After all, the Dolphin defense played with relentless pressure, and they frustrated the timing of the Seahawks offense all afternoon. The Seahawks offensive line is so porous. This group can stop the run and get after the passer. Let’s take a look at the good, and the bad, from Sunday. Without a solid running attack, Miami was forced to try and rely on their passing attack last week. Graham was in for 17 snaps and had one catch for 11 yards. The NFL said it suspended Brown for only the 2016 season opener because a lack of cooperation from Molly Brown, and law-enforcement officials provided “insufficient information to corroborate prior allegations”. “There’s no question in his mind he’s not playing”. However, I really do believe the Dolphins have the right formula this year on the coaching staff. Koa Misi is an athletic player but has an annoying reputation of letting the play coming to him rather than being an aggressive down-hill type player.
