The perplexity that is the Seattle Seahawks defense continues.
It’s an infuriating knock against coaching decisions everywhere, that this team has been this bad against the run for this long. Unfortunately, it should get worse because it’s only too apparent that the word is out around the NFL.
Just run.
The Carolina Panthers had 46 rushing attempts against the Seahawks in Week 14. According to Pete Carroll’s old mantra they only would have needed to complete seven passes to hit the magic 53 number that wins football games.
Those 46 carries resulted in 223 rushing yards, bringing Seattle’s total to 160 allowed per game.
