Josh Gordon Barely Gets Looked At In Philly
5 years agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon was the focus of a lot of media speculation this week as everyone predicted big things for the ex-Patriot. Gordon caught a pair of clutch passes against San Francisco a week after he joined the Seahawks, so everyone figured that with two extra weeks of practice study, he'd likely play a bigger role in Sunday's game against the Eagles. Instead, it appears head coach Pete Carroll used Gordon as a lure. Carroll switched up the whole gameplan, giving Rashaad Penny carries in the backfield instead of Chris Carson, drawing up a flea flicker with a deep pass to Malik Turner instead of Tyler Lockett, and only having Gordon see two passes all day. That's one of the dangers of having a receiver on a team with a lot of options.
