Doug Baldwin was pretty pissed after the Seahawks loss to the Cowboys yesterday! He initiated a heated exchange with Russell Wilson and event went on a post game rant filled with expletives during an interview. Hit the jump for details.
Via For The Win:
Baldwin’s postgame comments about the offense are more concerning. When asked whether the unit struggled because it didn’t have the ball much, Baldwin was emphatic.
“No. [Expletive] that. We had plenty of time. We had plenty of time to making [expletive] plays on the field. Plenty of time.”
Ignoring a plea from fellow receiver Ricardo Lockett to take a “deep breath,” Baldwin continued his rant when he was asked about his sideline confrontation with Wilson.“What you think, man? We’re frustrated. The offense can’t [expletive] move the ball. We’ve got too much [expletive] talent over here not to be moving the ball. It’s not on Russ. I’m saying in general, our offense, we’re too just [expletive] good not to be moving the ball down the field. I’m not mad at Russ at all, it’s a collaborative thing. We’ve all got to pitch in and do our part. We’ve all got to be better.”
Though Baldwin wisely says “it’s not on Russ,” any criticism of an offense is inherently about a quarterback. Wilson is the one who makes the offense go (or not). Dissension from his receivers isn’t a good look, especially considering this is still a 3-2 team that’s easily one of the best five teams in the NFL. Not that Baldwin is content. He continued (via ESPN.com):
“We have to quit BS-ing ourselves. We’ve got to be real with ourselves. When we get in the meeting room, we’ve got to actually pay attention to things and not blow smoke up our tails that everything’s going to be all right. Things aren’t going right. Pay attention to things that we’re not doing right and correct them.”
