Demonstrating far more bravado on the field than in the past, a grateful Jordyn Brooks continued to make the most of his return from a torn ACL in a dominant outing for the Seattle Seahawks as they shut down the Arizona Cardinals in a 20-10 win.
nursing a slim 17-10 lead midway through the third quarter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs took the snap from under center on 3rd and 2, faked to running back Emari Demercado, and then ran a naked bootleg to his left.
"You can't see anything in his game that's off. This is the best he's been," coach Pete Carroll told reporters after the game, marveling about Brooks' astounding recovery from a severe knee injury."And he showed that, and he's just cleaned his game up so well, where he's way more consistent than he was. It wasn't a consistency -- he would go for stuff and maybe not at the right time. His timing now is really much advanced.
"Look who I'm playing with," Brooks responded."I'm playing with Bobby Wagner. I'm playing with Jamal, Q Diggs, young 'Spoon, Tariq Woolen, Uchenna, J Reed. I mean, it's a bunch of guys that can play ball. When you look around and see that, if that don't make you excited, I don't know what does. ... And honestly, getting hurt has given me more appreciation for the game.
Making plays all over the field as a run defender, pass rusher, and in coverage, Jordyn Brooks had one of the best performances of his career as the Seahawks held off the Cardinals in a 20-10 win.© Steven Bisig-USA TODAY SportsHaving been teammates with Brooks in his first two seasons before spending a year away in Los Angeles, fellow linebacker Bobby Wagner sees a young defender playing with more trust in"what he sees" and free from the burden of overthinking things.
But rather than sulk about not being on the field full-time, Brooks has been using the sub-package usage as motivation. In particular, as he did stopping Dobbs on the designed naked bootleg, he wants to come through on every opportunity on short yardage"money" third and fourth downs, aiming to make himself an indispensable playmaker that Seattle can't afford to take off the field moving forward.
