By now Justin Britt Jersey , you should know that. But to better understand the context of the year that Wilson is having, his first under an offensive coordinator who is not Darrell Bevell, we should review the seven game starts he had prior to Brian Schottenheimer’s arrival with the Seattle Seahawks.Wilson through seven games in 2012:104-of-175, 1,230 yards, eight touchdowns, seven interceptions, 79.5 rating, 14 sacks, 35 carries for 119 yards.Wilson through seven games in 2013:115-of-187, 1,489 yards, 11 touchdowns, four interceptions, 97.2 rating, 20 sacks, 58 carries for 323 yardsWilson through seven games in 2014:135-of-207, 1,490 yards, 11 touchdowns, three interceptions, 98.1 rating Cheap Ethan Pocic Jersey , 15 sacks, 7.2 Y/A, 44 carries for 362 yardsWilson through seven games in 2015:142-of-204, 1,668 yards, eight touchdowns, five interceptions, 97 rating, 31 sacks, 8.18 Y/A, 52 carries for 271 yardsWilson through seven games in 2016:158-of-241, 1,812 yards, five touchdowns, two interceptions, 91.5 rating, 12 sacks, 7.52 Y/A, 25 carries for 44 yardsWilson through seven games in 2017:164-of-258, 2,008 yards, 15 touchdowns Duane Brown Jersey , four interceptions, 100.4 rating, 16 sacks, 7.78 Y/A, 36 carries for 194 yards, one touchdownAs you can see, Wilson’s attempts through seven games went up every year other than 2015, when he dipped by three attempts. Over the course of the whole season, his pass attempts have gone up successively since year one, topping out at 553 attempts in 2017, his first without a playoff berth. Utilizing Wilson as a rushing threat peaked in 2014 (118 carries, 849 yards), but he still had 95 attempts and 586 yards last year.That’s not going to happen in 2018, but Wilson is still on pace to have the best season of his career as a passer. It turns out that “Wilson needs to be a dual threat to be effective” is yet another Wilson myth that needs to be dispelled.Wilson through seven games in 2018:120-of-182, 1,556 yards, 16 touchdowns, four interceptions, 112.8 rating, 21 sacks, 8.55 Y/A, 19 carries for 77 yardsWilson passed for more yards through seven games in each of the last three years Cheap Shaquem Griffin Jersey , including almost 33% more in 2017, but he’s not being asked to pass it nearly as much and his efficiency per pass has gone from 7.8 Y/A to 8.5 Y/A. He’s thrown 16 touchdowns (tying Dave Krieg for most touchdown passes by a Seattle QB through seven games) on 76 fewer attempts than he had in 2017. He’s one of the top rated passers in the pocket. He’s one of the top rated passers outside of the pocket. He’s maybe the best passer in the league on play action.Yes, Russell Wilson is good and historically, he’s always gotten better as the season goes on.He’s good with Bevell. He’s good with Schottenheimer. He’s good with Paul Richardson. He’s good with David Moore. He’s good with Jimmy Graham. He’s good with Will Dissly or Ed Dickson or Nick Vannett or Tyrone Swoopes. He’s good with Marshawn Lynch. He’s good with Chris Carson. He’s good when the defense has the Legion of Boom. He’s good when the defense has literally none of those guys.The only variable that has not been removed or replaced at this point is Carroll. And I imagine that for awhile after Carroll opts to leave, Wilson will still be good. People may still deny it or make excuses to the contrary, but it won’t really matter ... Russell Wilson will still be good.How long a suspension new Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks is facing With the Seattle Seahawks thin at linebacker with both Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright yet to practice this week in advance of the team’s game against the Chicago Bears on Monday, the Hawks added Mychal Kendricks. Kendricks, of course, may have a name that is more recognized by most fans for his recent guilty plea for securities fraud than for his play during the six seasons he spent with the Philadelphia Eagles, and that means a suspension is likely coming. The question, though, becomes how long of a suspension is he potentially looking at and when would it be expected to come down? The list of NFL players who have been arrested is long, and the league’s personal conduct policy most certainly includes suspensions for fraud, but the overwhelming majority of player arrests stem from offenses that are not white collar in nature. In fact, looking at past suspensions there is very little to rely on in terms of precedent for such crimes. Former Seahawks coach Travis Jones, who spent four years as the defensive line coach for the Hawks before spending 2017 as the Senior Defensive Assistant was suspended for thirty days by the New Orleans Saints in 2010 after pleading guilty to mortgage fraud. However, that was in a coaching role and does not provide much guidance for the situation at hand. Looking at the suspensions which the league handed down in the build up to the 2018 season, there are only a couple of suspensions which were not related to substance abuse matters. Names such as Mark Ingram, Julian Edelman, Robert Turbin and Thomas Davis all find themselves suspended for the first quarter of the season as a result of having failed a PED screening. Thus, taking a look at the non-substance abuse related suspensions, these are the handful of players whose suspensions might be available for guidance: Dante Fowler (1 game)Nigel Bradham (1 game)Jameis Winston (3 games)Jimmy Smith (4 games)Fowler Cheap Jarran Reed Jersey , for those who are unaware, was suspended under the PCP for misdemeanor assault. He reportedly did not like the criticism of his driving leveled at him by a fellow motorist, so he made the very mature decision to resolve the matter through physical intimidation. In the parking lot of an apartment complex in St. Petersburg, FL, Fowler assaulted the man knocking off his glasses and breaking them, and took a bag of liquor from the victim and threw it into a lake on the grounds ofthe complex. Moving on to Bradham, his suspension grows out ofa felony assault conviction in Miami (what is it about Florida?) where Bradham and a group of five other people physically assaulted a cabana boy. According to reports, Bradham and the other members of his party were at the beach for the day and paid for umbrella, but the cabana boy did not bring the umbrella as quickly as they would have liked. Things escalated from there, and the result was Bradham and his group fleeing the scene after Bradham had punched the cabana boy. Next in the list is Jameis Winston. Winston was suspended just three games for “inappropriately touching” an Uber driver in 2016, a suspension which runs through Week 3 of the 2018 season. Lastly, Jimmy Smith was found by the league to have exhibited ”a pattern of threatening and emotionally abusive behavior” towards his former girlfriend, and was given a suspension of four games. In comparing what Kendricks did to these four suspensions, my personal feelings are that his actions warrant a suspension longer than the one game given to either Bradham or Fowler. However, I have no illusions that what Kendricks did pales in comparison to offenses of Winston and Smith. I’d rather have an entire defense made up of Kendricks clones than a single member of the team who participated in the behavior in which Smith or Winston engaged. Thus, I’d expect that if and when a suspension comes down it will fall in the middle of these categories in terms of duration. Therefore, my guess is that any suspension for Kendricks is likely to be just two games. Now we just have to wait for the final determination of the league, but I assure you that if Kendricks somehow ends up suspended for three or more games there is likely to be an uproar that the league would much rather avoid.

Russell Wilson is off to a good start this season as a passer.
