CHICAGO -- It was obvious in both their words and actions that offseason priority No. 1 for the Seattle Seahawks was reviving their running game.
They spent a first-round pick on tailback Rashaad Penny to pair him with Chris Carson, replaced Jimmy Graham with better blocking tight ends in Will Dissly and Ed Dickson and beefed up at right guard with D.J. Fluker, whom they considered a difference-maker in the run game.
Dickson and Fluker have both been injured, but that doesn’t begin to explain why the Seahawks have neither run the ball well nor all that often during their 0-2 start.
