Tre Brown says the wrong thing after being embarrassed in Seahawks Week 5 loss
By Lee Vowell
The most agreeable part of Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tre Brown's tweet after the team lost to the New York Giants in Week 5 was that he admitted he had a bad game. The beginning of the tweet, though, was all wrong. In fact, instead of simply saying, "I will be better in the future," he took a completely different approach.
There is also no mistaking that Brown was exposed by Giants receiver Darius Slayton. Slayton had eight catches on 11 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown. Much of that happened against Brown. The receiver embarrassed Brown with his crisp route running and speed. Brown looked more like a high school player trying to cover Slayton at times.
Again, instead of simply owning fully that he had a bad game, Brown took some frustration out on 12s for some odd reason. Brown wrote, "Y'all waited four years for me to have a bad game, life of a DB s*** happens..." Who exactly is the "y'all" he is speaking about?
Tre Brown takes the low road after being exposed by the Giants in the Seahawks Week 5 loss
Seahawks fans are clearly split on how good Geno Smith is. The statistics show he is a top-half-of-the-league quarterback, but he will take more blame for losses than he should because he is a quarterback. That's how life as a QB goes. In comparison to Smith, though, Brown is not a generally disliked player.
Many 12s likely wished he had stayed healthier in his first two seasons because he was a pretty good player when he was able to play. As a rookie in 2021, Brown allowed an extremely low 59.3 quarterback rating when targeted, but he only played in five games. He played in only six in 2022. There were few rumblings of anger toward Brown for not being on the field more.
Hopefully, Brown's agent or other inner circle will get with Brown and advise him to not troll his own team's fans after having a bad game. That is not the fault of the 12s, of course, but it does imply Brown doesn't drown out the social media news heaved at him at times. He needs to do a better job of ignoring that if there is a chance the noise has the potential to affect his play.
There is probably little doubt that many 12s were not waiting "four years" for Brown to have a bad game. That does not make much sense. He hasn't played at a high enough level over his first three years for 12s to assume he will always be good. 12s probably hope more that Brown will have a string of great games because that would mean good things for the Seahawks, and that's what fans truly care about.
