Bradley Sowell is terrible

I’m afraid that this is going to become a weekly entry in this space. Calling him a turnstile is an insult to turnstiles. (Did I use that joke last week too? I think I did.)

Not included in that tweet was that he was also called for a hold on the play, though that penalty was declined.

Sowell has no business being on the field. He’s worse that Paul McQuistan was a few years ago. The problem is that there’s no Russell Okung coming back from injury to replace him. The Seahawks don’t have much in the way of options right now.

Until Russell Wilson’s ankle heals and he gets his mobility back, Sowell’s performance alone is enough to make the entire offense struggle.
