Seahawks’ Tariq Woolen on critics: ‘I don’t give a (blank) anymore.’ His coach seeks focus

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen has come under fire following a subpar performance against the Green Bay Packers, where he was involved in plays that contributed to 20 points for the opposition. Woolen humorously shared some of the online criticism, including a joke about playing in Beijing, despite the NFL not hosting games there. He remains steadfast, asserting that public opinion does not impact his self-esteem and recognizing the need for improvement in his gameplay. Coach Mike Macdonald emphasized the importance of focus for Woolen's success, suggesting that lapses in concentration have led to recent mistakes. As the Seahawks prepare for a vital game against the Minnesota Vikings, Woolen's ability to concentrate and perform will be under scrutiny.

With a history as a former Pro Bowl player, the pressure is on for him to reclaim his top form. Woolen's experience illustrates both the challenges of professional sports and the resilience required to excel in competitive settings. The upcoming game will serve as a significant test of his skills and mental strength.
