Seattle Seahawks have ability to “Run” away with it all
DeeJay Dallas, Miami Hurricanes. Seattle Seahawks.
One more piece
Before wrapping up the run game, there is one more key piece to the rushing game and he’s under center. For his career, Russell Wilson has 3,997 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns. RW3 averages 5.5 yards every time he takes off with the ball.
Outlook
In a stout defensively built NFC West the rushing attack will play a huge role going forward in. Their ability to get yards on the ground will keep teams honest by offsetting the blitz. That gives Wilson some more time in the pocket to do what he does so well.
Most in the NFL circles may feel that the Seahawks don’t have the top backs they easily have a stable of backs that individually could run for many teams in the league as their starter.
The main decision that needs to be made is deciding on the backfield rotation. Also how Carroll and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer will split carries for the backs. Will they ride a hot hand against each opponent every week? Or will they give the lion’s share to one and allow the others to fight for the scraps?
All winter and spring the talk has been about how Carroll and Schottenheimer can open up the offense for RW3. He has a pair of outstanding receivers, Tyler Lockett, and D.K. Metcalf as well as a group of effective tight ends led by three-time Prow Bowler Greg Olsen. Truth is the Seattle Seahawks may not need to throw more. They have the horses to ground and pound their way to a title.
TOUCHDOWN, RUSSELL WILSON!!!
– Zone-read option
– Wilson fakes the handoff to Chris Carson
– The read is Demarcus Lawrence and he collapsed on the run
– Good pull, wide open running lane for the touchdown!#Seahawks #GoHawks pic.twitter.com/OIqJiwNr3O— Samuel Gold (@SamuelRGold) January 6, 2019
