SEATTLE Finally, a Seattle day in Seattle.
The Seahawks’ game day for their home opener dawned with more hazy, smoky sun. But forecasters are promising it will begin raining during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against San Francisco and stay wet for the rest of the day at CenturyLink Field, something that hasn’t happened throughout a day here in months.
Numbers and the situation strongly suggest the Seahawks will use more no-huddle offense against the 49ers.
Here’s another way Seattle can control this game: With Sheldon Richardson. The 49ers with new head coach Kyle Shanahan, the former play caller for Atlanta, Cleveland and Washington, are likely to base their offense on lead back Carlos Hyde running “stretch,” outside zone-read plays.
