Seahawks trying to solve the DK Metcalf red zone problem
I’m talking about red zone targets to DK Metcalf.
On multiple days thus far, it’s been a point of emphasis to draw plays for Metcalf in end zone drills.Metcalf was the worstSeattle made DK Metcalf the 6th-most targeted receiver inside the 20 last season, tied with Davante Adams.The result was the only player besides Garrett Wilson to convert under half their targets inside the top-15.
It’s pretty abysmal, and has looked the same this far in summer. Last week, I saw Metcalf jump too early for one ball, and grab an end zone pass on another but lose the ball to the ground. The conversation then moves from Metcalf alone, to the offensive struggles in the red zone as a team. Mina Kimes discussed just this thing earlier this week:
The Seahawks offense was really good last year...except in the red zone, where they ranked 28th in scoring efficiency.
