Seahawks eager to use RBs Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny more in passing game

RENTON, Wash. -- When the Seattle Seahawks reconvened for the start of their offseason program in mid-April, running backs coach Chad Morton had a sit-down with Chris Carson to discuss what might end up being the most significant shift to Seattle's offense in Year 2 under coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.

Morton's message: Expect to be used more often in the passing game.

As in about twice as often.

The Seahawks might or might not throw the ball more in 2019 after dropping back on the lowest percentage of their offensive snaps (50.5%, per ESPN charting) of any team in the NFL last season.
