Pete Carroll explains why the Seahawks benched Riq Woolen

Carroll says Woolen couldn’t hold up tackling because of the shoulder.

You might have noticed something odd in the middle of the 49ers’ dominant win over the Seahawks last night. On the right side of the field, Mike Jackson could be seen playing the boundary where normally Riq Woolen is lined up. Woolen was pulled out of the game in the first half after whiffing on a few tackles as well as a friendly-fire incident near the sideline.

After the game was over, head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that Woolen’s shoulder was the reason why he put Jackson in. Carroll says he couldn’t hold up tackling because of the shoulder.

Woolen did not show up on the team’s injury report in the days leading up to last night’s game, so whatever it is it’s a new issue.

Aside from a shoulder stinger for Jason Peters, there have been no reports of any other injuries for the Seahawks coming out of the game.

Watch: Riq Woolen was starstruck when meeting Carson Wentz

Watch.

The Rams recently signed Carson Wentz to play backup behind Matt Stafford. After LA’s one-point win on Sunday, Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen was excited to meet Wentz.

Watch.

This may seem odd to some fans, but they need to remember how special Wentz was when he was healthy. Prior to his knee injury in 2017 Wentz was one of the league’s better quarterbacks and would have been in the MVP conversation that year had he stayed healthy. He finished that campaign with an 11-2 record and led the NFL with a 7.5% touchdown rate and a 78.5 QBR. Wentz also had his moments as recently as the 2021 season, when he went 9-8 and posted 27 touchdown passes to go with seven interceptions. He has not appeared in a game yet this year.

As for Woolen, he had a rough start to the 2023 season but has bounced back strong the last couple of games. For the year he has allowed a 50% completion rate and a 68.7 passer rating in coverage. Woolen also has two interceptions and seven passes defensed.
