ESPN NFL analyst Trent Dilfer was on the show today to discuss the Seahawks, and he bluntly stated how the relationships between the QB and the WRs would be very different if Trent was playing on the team. When asked why the WRs have not bought in to the system yet, Trent said:

"Matthew as a fault, he's too nice--I was never nice. I don't think your job as QB is to be friends with everybody. It's to be respected and make sure they're doing their job's right."

Dilfer went on to elaborate that he was not throwing Matt under the bus, and Hasselbeck was a better quarterback than he ever was, but if this team is going to succeed, the offense must run at the QB's tempo, and TJ must get on the same page as Hasselbeck.

  It makes sense.....

  I guess TJ Housh put unnecessary pressure on Matt when he talks to Media and his sideline bursts for getting the ball.Someone should talk to TJ about it and stop this practice of talking to Media.Just shut TJ's mouth..and that will help Seahawks playing good football. Matt should check on all of his Open Receivers and make the best decision on whom to throw the ball. In this pressure situations he sometimes misses his open WRs and trying to force the throws to TJ. I guess in NFL all these star WRs are spoiled and make useless demands to throw the ball more to them and keep complaining about QBs all the time. Coach Jim Mora should take some initiative and give some PEP talks to TJ for not doing any drama moving forward. He is a good receiver but not as gr88 as Jerry Rice.
