Ahkello Witherspoon, CB

What happened to him? Still hurt or what? He was shutdown before the injury

Pass rush isn't as good and Akello is showing that he didn't improve from last year.

Our pass rush was insane when he was "shutting down" guys. Also, look at the teams we played. His high level of play was a product of those around him and not because hes some stud CB.

Now I don't mind if Moseley takes his snaps.

Yep. 3 quarters too late

He was great earlier in the season but forgot how to be great after he hurt his foot

Heres the difference...

In the beginning of the season he was brimming with confidence and anger about the prior season, he would not only be in position but have the confidence to turn around and make a play

Now after the injury, he is back in his head. He is in position on every completion made against him but so worried about giving up the play that he has lost all aggression. He doesnt turn around, he doesnt trust himself that he is in the right position to turn around so he just starts acting like a basketball player trying to defend a pass rather than a defensive back.

He just doesnt trust himself, its why he is a step behind or always has his back to the QB. He is ignoring his instinct and just trying to be in the WRs way. If he had the confidence in his instincts to break on the route one step sooner or turn around once he felt he had good position... Seattle would of never been close to winning the game.

Stick a fork in the spoon

I realize it takes a few years to get accustomed to the NFL, but how much longer do we wait on this dude?

Also, he's SO QUICK to turn and throw his hands up like it wasn't his fault, or like he didn't get the help he thought he was gonna get. To me, that's not a good look.. Sheesh...

Burnt toast

He was improving so much before his injury. Not sure what happened, but could be a product of rested DL with all that pressure they put on QB's.

Nothing has changed. He's been doing this since he was drafted. The pass rush masked his pitfalls early in the year. 6-3, 200 lbs but plays like 5-9, 180 lbs.

Free releases for all WRs.

🗑

He's being called out by every ex player there is, Deion was being nice by not mentioning his name but basically pointed to him as adjustments that paid dividends in helping keep seattle out the endzone at the end of the game.

He is playing with poor technique again.

feel bad for him

but we need to upgrade at corner in the offseason big time
