Marcel Reese leads the way for Seahawks runners
Seahawks fullback Marcel Reece can do more than just block, and he celebrates catching a pass for a two-point conversion against Arizona. (Bettina Hansen/The Seattle Times)RENTON — As the final seconds ticked down in Saturday’s 26-6 wild-card playoff win over Detroit, Russell Wilson took one final kneel-down, then turned to fullback Marcel Reece.
“Here,’’ Wilson said, handing Reece the ball. “This one’s for you.’’
It was a present for Reece to commemorate the gift he had given the Seahawks all day — big holes as the lead blocker out of the I-formation, a scheme that proved a key to Seattle’s revived running game.
