Receivers Not Open? You Decide

The debate rages on about the Seahawks passing game and the quarterback situation. One prominent argument has been that Seattle needs to upgrade the receiving corps because Russell Wilson has nobody to pass to. I wrote last week about two egregious errors Wilson made in the Packers game. I wrote after the Cardinals game showing there were zero drops, and a number of impressive catches in a game many used to criticize the receivers. I present, without commentary, every single one of his pass attempts versus the Rams. Make note of which receivers he throws to. Make note of protection. You decide if there are receivers open.
