Good afternoon, 12s.
Here's a look at what's "out there" for today - Tuesday, Jan. 20 - about your Seattle Seahawks:
Bill Belichick Compares Russell Wilson To Roger Staubach
During a Tuesday morning conference call, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick compared Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to Roger Staubach, the former NFL quarterback who led the Dallas Cowboys to four Super Bowls, including victories in Super Bowl VI and Super Bowl XII.
"He kind of reminds me of watching Staubach," Belichick said via Mike Reiss at ESPN.com. "I remember a lot of Staubach's spectacular running plays where it looked like he was about to get tackled by three or four guys, and he would Houdini it out of there somehow. You see Wilson doing some of the same things."
According to Reiss, Belichick was a fan of Staubach during the quarterback's time at Navy, where Belichick's father was a coach.
"He has an instinctiveness; he just knows where people are," Belichick added of the Seahawks' Wilson. "It looks like he's going to get tackled and he doesn't. You think that he doesn't see them, but he sees them. He just knows they are there. He has an uncanny sense of awareness of what is around him, good or bad.
"I can't really define it. You can't really coach it. It's an awareness that all great players have it, all good players have it. I think he just has it at a higher level. It's impressive."
