The Seattle Seahawks sit at 3-1 and very much in control of their own destiny.

Finding fault with a team like this is more nitpicky than some would like to be, especially when the outlook on the rest of the season is so bright, but great teams never stop looking at places to improve a roster or a plan.

To that end, one still has to wonder where Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been for Seattle over the first quarter of the season, especially when a rookie taken on Day Three currently leads the NFL in receiving yards.

Yes, the Seahawks are winning games and asking why the offense isn't scoring more is a take that won't be popular with everyone, but it is also fair to say this team has been capable of scoring more in every game so far this season, and that is important to recognize in a league that values offensive success over everything.

To this end, the pass hasn't been perfect for Seattle, and finding a way to get Jaxon Smith-Njigba involved has led to some strange results.

JSN's stats from the most recent game over the Giants show this well. Three receptions for five yards should be impossible to accomplish.

However, stats like that accurately show how the rookie has been used for Seattle through the year. Hyper-conservative, safe routes that mostly exist only to keep last-ditch plays alive isn't what Smith-Njigba was drafted to do. That wasn't who he was at Ohio State.

While Seattle has mouths to feed with a better WR1 and WR2 than what the Rams have used so far this year, Puka Nacua (a fifth-round pick) leading the league in receiving yards has people asking why JSN hasn't even topped 70 yards on the season.

No one would've ever guess that Nacua would be here at this point in the season. In that some breath, no one would've also thought that such a highly-touted receiver prospect would disappear in an offense such as this.

Sure, the wins are coming, but the wins need to start becoming bigger and more offensively-dominant, and that can't happen at the rate this team is moving.

We'll keep saying it every week: JSN needs to get more real looks in this offense. The Seahawks are creating a ceiling for themselves by letting Puka Nacua play the role that JSN was expected to make a name for himself in.

Seahawks need to get rookie more involved

There has to be more.
