St. Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks: December 28th, 2013

4th and 12 at SEA 20

1st Quarter, (12:11), J.Ryan punts 45 yards to SL 35, Center-C.Gresham, fair catch by T.Austin. PENALTY on SEA-R.Lockette, Unnecessary Roughness, 15 yards, enforced at SL 35

One of the best tackles on a punt return you’ll ever see, despite the penalty.

Denver Broncos @ Seattle Seahawks: September 21st, 2014

2nd and 6 at SEA 31

2nd Quarter, (4:46), (Shotgun) R. Wilson pass incomplete short right to R.Lockette (A. Talib). PENALTY on SEA-R.Lockette, Offensive Pass Interference, 10 yards, enforced at SEA 31 – no play.

The score is tied at 3-3 and its 2 & 6 on the Seahawks 31 yard line. The Broncos appear to be playing in Cover 1 in man coverage. Aqib Talib sits on Russell Wilson’s throw as he is aligned in press coverage and is almost there to intercept it if not for Lockette’s DB skills, despite receiving an offensive pass interference penalty. Wilson’s late throw would’ve resulted in a pick-six if not for Lockette’s quick thinking to make a play on the ball.

1st and 10 at DEN 39

2nd Quarter, (3:12), (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass deep right to R.Lockette for 39 yards, TOUCHDOWN

4 plays later, another Cover 1 man front, however this time Aqib Talib is playing Lockette 8 yards off as opposed to pressing him. Wilson first shifts his TE #86 to the right, pulling the LB with him, and signaling a possible zone run to the strongside.

At the snap, Wilson reads scans quickly to the left side of the field, before turning back to the right. Wilson pump fakes causing Talib to stutter, this time using his aggressive play against him, and allowing Lockette’s superior speed to run right past him.

Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks: November 23rd, 2014

1st and 10 at SEA 44

1st Quarter, (:30), R.Wilson pass deep right to R.Lockette pushed ob at ARZ 8 for 48 yards.

The Cardinals show blitz at the snap as Wilson utilizes play-action to his RB Turbin. Great play call by the Seahawks as two Cardinals at the bottom of the screen are left in no man’s land and unable to contribute to the play. Wilson get’s max protection and utilizes a phenomenal look-off move to fool the Cardinals DBs into thinking the other receiver was his target.

Carolina Panthers @ Seattle Seahawks: October 18th, 2015

1st and 10 at CAR 40

3rd Quarter, (11:36), R.Wilson pass deep left to R.Lockette for 40 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

C

The Seahawks run, what seems like their annual flea flicker pass, against the Panthers. Wilson tosses to Lynch on a run to the right pushing the Carolina LB’s out of the play entirely. Lockette, aligned as the outside receiver to the right side, runs a go route and gains superior positioning to the safety and out leverages him for the touchdown.
