Watching this video I dont see how he cant be successful in the wilddawg. Check out his catch at 2:40, him and Cribbs in the backfield both being a threat to run, catch or pass the ball.....goodluck

That's what we thought too.

i wouldnt compare wallace to byron, the slowest black man to EVER play the position. wallace has speed to burn and looks like he has that agility to make those quick changes in direction. i think what he's talking about is a typical fast athletic qb that was hounded by coaches for years to be a drop back style qb. once he sees J-Money jukin and spinnin outa the backfield he'll be following suit as well

Exactly right about his transition to a drop back QB. And that was all on Holmgren. Holmgren has a soft spot for Seneca and

vice versa since Holmgren is the one coach/GM that gave Seneca a shot at QB instead of trying to convert him to WR out

of college. It was a failed experiment. Reading the hype in Cleveland about utilizing Seneca's athletic ability in some other

way than just as the back up QB gives me a sense of Deja Vu. For years fans and media speculated on how awesome it

would be to see Seneca lined up at WR and later on in a WildDawg package. Seneca himself and even two different coaching

staffs often played along further fueling the fire. When it never materialized, the exact excuses mentioned here were used.

"They tell him not to run because they can't afford for him to get hurt." "If you put the third string QB in you can't replace

him", etc, etc... Last year Senca had 16 rushing attempts for 2 yards for .13 yards per carry, despite being lined up in

a WildDawg formation @ two times per game. In comparison, a slow, aging, injured Matt Hasselbeck had 26 carries for 119

yards for 4.5 yards per carry. My belief is that Seneca Wallace is afraid to get hit. Either that or he is just to proud to show

his atletic side for fear he will no longer be considered a legitimate QB. As for the passive attitude... I hate to tell you, but

Seneca is often seen on the sidelines pouting by himself on the bench. Not a leader by example for sure. It was reported

in Seattle that Seneca struggles with learning disabilities and often had troubles grasping the entire play book thus limiting

the number of plays available when he is playing QB. My guess is that one article is correct. You might see a little of

Seneca in the WildDawg in pre-season and a couple of early games, but it will soon be scrapped.

what i would love to see is senica in the shotgun, cribbs to his right, and vickers to his left, running a triple option where you let the LE/OLB come basically free, and pitch it either inside to vickers or outside to cribbs. could really slow down the pass rush from that side and help out that side of the line

As a Seahawk fan I would like to give you guys a little heads up on Seneca Wallace. He is fast and he is

athletic and he is a QB, but he will not be successful for you in a WildDawg formation. The WildDawg requires

that the guy lined up at QB be a threat to take off running as one of the possible options. Anyone that

has watched tape of Seneca over the last few years knows he is NOT going to run. Forwards anyways.

Lining him up as a RB would be pretty funny, but a direct snap to him is the same as an awkward shotgun

snap. He's not going to run. Lining him up at WR is a way to get a completion because he can catch a

football, but you'd be lucky get more than two yards before he steps out of bounds. You see, Seneca

pictures himself as a drop back passer. Unfortunately he is too short to see over his own offensive line,

so he takes huge drops at break neck speed and if his primary receiver is not open, he sprints to the

sidelines and runs out of bounds instead of throwing the ball away even though he is well out of the

pocket. The Browns might develop a decent WildDawg package. I've seen Cribs, I know he is a stud, but

Seneca will break your heart and he isn't going to fool any defensive coordinators. Also, I know Mangini

is your head coach, but Holmgren *hates* the WildDawg. If he has any say in it, you won't be running the

WildDawg at all. Good luck to the Browns and Holmgren this year. Kick the Steelers' a**.
