It seems like Deommodore Lenoir is a bit disappointed about the prospect of DK Metcalf leaving the Seattle Seahawks. While most defensive backs would probably be happy to see a top receiver like Metcalf leave their division, Lenoir enjoys the challenge and the competition.
Lenoir’s comments about Metcalf highlight the mutual respect between the two players. They’ve had some battles on the field, but they also appreciate each other’s talent and intensity. Lenoir sees Metcalf as a rare breed of receiver who’s not afraid to get physical and compete.
This rivalry has been a highlight of the NFC West in recent years, and it would be a shame to see it end if Metcalf is traded. However, it’s also understandable why Metcalf would want to move on to a team with a better chance of winning a championship.
Lenoir’s comments also shed light on the changing nature of the wide receiver position. While Metcalf is known for his physicality and willingness to block, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Seahawks’ other top receiver, is more of a finesse player. This difference in styles is reflected in Lenoir’s comments, as he jokingly refers to Smith-Njigba as a “crybaby.”
Ultimately, it’s up to the Seahawks to decide what they want to do with Metcalf. But Lenoir’s comments are a reminder that sometimes, the best rivalries are built on mutual respect and a shared love for the game.
