Russell Wilson and the Broncos’ offense struggled last season, to say the least. If there is such a thing as creating instant offense in the NFL, Sean Payton’s track record suggests he’s the one to provide it, writes NickKosmider. From last week:
. Yes, Wilson is coming off the worst statistical season of his career. But with a more refined structure under interim coach Jerry Rosburg, Wilson produced two of his best performances across the season’s final two games, providing legitimate hope he can still thrive in the right environment.
Payton has already outlined how he would go about setting the foundation for a more effective Wilson. “I’d want to see a cut-up of all Russell’s past plays of 30 or more yards from the field , and I’d want to see if there’s some schemes that he felt comfortable with,” Payton said in October, when asked about the struggling quarterback during an interview with Fox Sports Radio’s Colin Cowherd. “Like, I know they did a great job in Seattle of bringing him off a naked boot and then pulling up. We all saw that throwback to Lockett across the field where the ball traveled 60 yards in the air.
Translation: Wilson doesn’t need to reinvent himself. He simply needs to be used more consistently in the ways he is most effective. Payton has made a successful career out of solving those kinds of riddles while defenses attempt to rapidly counter.In a marathon media session after Denver’s win in its regular-season finale against the Chargers earlier this month, Wilson perked up at the idea of possibly playing for Payton.
“He’s one of the world’s best, obviously, a guy who has coached a Hall of Fame quarterback in Drew Brees, who was one of my closest friends and the guy that I got to know across the league,” Wilson said. “ as competitive as can be; he’s a winner and, obviously, won a Super Bowl . I was able to be around him at the Pro Bowl, and just the wizardry that you would have on the field was just magnificent.”A ringing endorsement from Wilson would icing on the cake, not its main ingredient.
