Sam's Film Room: Don’t believe the numbers, Thomas Rawls had a good game

In the Seattle Seahawks 5-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the blocking by the offensive line was a major issue. Although Thomas Rawls only gained 38 yards on 12 carries, he actually ran well. Unlike last week versus the Eagles, Rawls did not miss any reads and on multiple busted plays turned negatives into positives.

We'll start with Rawls' first carry, 7:34 remaining in the first quarter. Seattle runs a two-back outside zone to their right with fullback (46) Will Tukuafu lead-blocking for Rawls.

After the snap, (93) Gerald McCoy penetrates immediately through the weakside A-gap between center (53) Joey Hunt and left guard (63) Mark Glowinski.
