The Seattle Seahawks signed Eddie Lacy to a one-year deal worth up to $4.25 million in March, four years after he went one pick ahead of their selection in the 2013 draft. For this video, I tracked all of his carries from 2016 to determine the Green Bay Packers’ scheme and to figure out his role in Seattle’s offense.
From my research, Packers and Seahawks actually share many similarities. Both teams run a high portion of zone running plays which make up roughly two thirds of their called runs.
