The Eddie Lacy Experiment looked good on paper. The Eddie Lacy Experience, not so much. I truly thought this was a good move by the Seahawks braintrust. I envisioned that Seattle would beat their opponents into submission with this amazing three-headed running attack. The real co-expert here, Lee Vowell, was wisely more cautious in his assessment. Regardless, neither of us expected the train wreck that has been the Seattle running game in 2107. Train wreck can almost be taken literally. All that’s missing from this derailment is the track.
I’ll preface this by acknowledging that the offensive line can take a large part of the blame for this sad state of affairs.
