Sidney Rice is the Seahawks most talented receiver, but there is a reason he has been overlooked in the passing game. The oft-injured Rice didnt have a chance to work with new quarterback Russell Wilson in the offseason because he was rehabbing from shoulder surgeries, and he missed a good portion of camp and the preseason. As a result, Wilson and Rice were not clicking very well on the field. While Rice was working his way back into the offense, Golden Tate became the teams primary vertical threat but its likely the Seahawks coaches will push Rice back to the forefront now. Its obvious they need his big play potential. Source: National Football Post Attached Thumbnails
