Or perhaps more accurately, this is a look at what Metcalf does to opposing defenses that no other receiving threat on the Seattle roster does. We’ll get to what that actually does for the Seahawks offense on Friday.
In recent seasons several teams have traded high level wide receivers in exchange for multiple draft picks to the tune of varying results. The Kansas City Chiefs sent Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins and then turned around to win back to back Super Bowls. The Tennessee Titans traded A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles and proceeded to trot out the 27th- and 28th-ranked scoring offenses over the next two seasons.
To contrast that with examples from other games, here are a few chosen at random, starting with Week 2 against the New England Patriots, who consistently played their deep safety 15 yards off the line of scrimmage and provided some cushion to the Seahawks receivers. The Miami Dolphins in Week 3 similarly had their deep safety plenty deep. Week 4 saw a trip east to take on the Detroit Lions.
