2017 was Darrell Bevell’s most unorthodox year

Any offensive coordinator will absorb fans’ rancor when things go wrong. Over the years Darrell Bevell took shit from the Seattle Seahawks community for rushing at the wrong times, for passing at the wrong times, for playing too conservatively and too creatively.

Any given play call can fail to gain a first down, but the criticism that rang out probably more often than any other was how Bevell’s sequencing of play calls were too predictable. The formula was familiar:

Typical drive:
1st - Run for 2
2nd - Ifedi FS
2nd - Run for 2
3rd and long - Sack (omg Russ is washed)— Cam (@Camorooni) January 8, 2018

Run, Run, Pass, Punt x5-7 times per game.
