problem has emerged in recent weeks for the Seattle Seahawks on offense.
Seattle Seahawks trade for veteran defensive lineman, per reports
Despite possessing one of the NFL’s more explosive running backs in Kenneth Walker III, the Seahawks have struggled to put together a consistent run game and have completely abandoned it at times.
Through six weeks, Seattle’s rushing attack ranks at or near the back of the pack in a number of categories. Its 20.8 rush attempts per game and 31.65% rushing play percentage are both last in the NFL, and its 96.5 rushing yards per game are 29th.
Those numbers become even more abysmal in the sample size of the past three games – all losses for the Seahawks.
In those games, Seattle has run the ball just 16.7 times per game while calling run plays just 23.92% of the time. The next closest teams to those numbers during that stretch are the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 22.3 rushes per game and the New York Jets’ 33.18% rushing play percentage.
