New Seahawks OC Brian Schottenheimer talks up importance of establishing the run

If you wanted the Seattle Seahawks to become a pass-heavy offense by nature instead of being forced into it through a horrendous running game, then Brian Schottenheimer is not the offensive coordinator you’re looking for. I’m sure many of you cringed just reading “establishing the run” in the headline, especially given the statistical evidence to suggest NFL offenses need to be geared towards the pass. Alas, the Seahawks hired him, and it’s evident that head coach Pete Carroll desperately wants to go back to the offenses of 2012-2014, which leaned quite heavily on the running game, while Russell Wilson thrived off of efficient performances without throwing 40+ times per start.
