Seahawks know they can “always count on” Tyler Lockett to come through in big moments

“It’s just how ready he is,” quarterback Geno Smith said. “He is steadfast, he has been that way all his life and his whole career, and so he will never change. His behavior will not change. Whether he gets ten targets in the game, five or three, he will take his routes the same way. way. He will give maximum effort. He will be the perfect leader we need his number is called, he makes a play every time and we know how special he is and the work he has put into many things behind the scenes. to make sure his body is ready to shoot man he’s one of my best friends and I just wanna continue throwing the ball to him when I can but I know I can always count on him and that he will always be there.

“I mean, we have so many great guys that it makes my job so much easier. I just have to go out there and let the defense dictate where the ball goes. But a lot of times, man, it comes down to that.” Because he’s Tyler, he’s always in the right place. He always gets his toes in when he needs to, and he’s even busy making blocks. So I think Tyler will continue to do that. We’re growing as an offense. He hasn’t reached his peak yet. I think he still has more life in him and he’s showing us that.”

Like any receiver, Lockett enjoys games where he’s often targeted — after all, he’s second only to Steve Largent in franchise history for receiving yards, receptions and receiving touchdowns, so he’s more than capable of putting up big numbers – he also takes I pride myself on being a player who can come through when it matters most, even when his opportunities are limited.

“I’m really proud of it just because I think every receiver wants to be involved early on, and you want to be able to get started and things like that,” he said. “Sometimes things like that don’t happen and it’s easy to get angry, get upset, get down on yourself, whatever, but at the same time, for me, I don’t want to go to that place where I’m so angry to the point that when I get opportunities, I don’t play now because I’m not in sync with myself. I always tell myself: stay ready, because when that opportunity comes, if you were angry, you You didn’t get the ball, now you have the ball, you didn’t play It doesn’t make your situation better at all Take advantage of the opportunities You never know when it will be your chance and you never know when a play will fail or it will be your chance, so I think this also a great message for everyone in life: you have to stay ready. Because sometimes things don’t happen the way you want, and sometimes the way you want to play doesn’t happen the way you want to play, but you can still play a great game. “
