I take the fence to be our O-Line and the T Rex to be any opposing team's pass rush...Dr. Wilson scrambling for his life with a flare in hand hoping to cause a crucial split second of distraction to slip out of danger somehow. Is it Chaos Theory when the same thing happens every time? :)
I think it's interesting that of all the angles to this story you zeroed on the Harvin challenging Wilson's leadership one...which does seem to likely be the flashing red alert signal that got Schneider urgently working the phones the past few weeks. Considering we've heard he already got into it with a couple other WR's on the team and nothing was done about those incidents.
I believe there is a X's and O's side to this angle as well. Harvin is really a slot receiver whose strength is using his power and rapid acceleration to get open quickly on short crossing routes and break some tackles for larger gains. Problem is, Wilson is too short to throw middle on a lot of plays (check a heat map of his pass attempts, eg here: http://www.fieldgulls.com/2014/10/18/6996659/percy-harvin-seahawks-russe...). So that aspect of Harvin's game really doesn't fit with our franchise QB. Not to mention we already had a pretty good slot receiver in Angry Doug Baldwin, who was being pushed to a position he's not suited for.
So I assume all these factors are related and just created a perfect storm against the Percy Harvin Experience in Seattle (or ominous clouds presaging such on the horizon). Too bad, he was a thrill to watch.
