Seahawks offensive coordinator is having a good season calling plays. He usually does not get much credit and sometimes criticism of his game plan is right and good. Take Seattle’s loss to the Cowboys in the playoffs last year when Schottenheimer came into the game with a too-conservative game plan and then failed to adjust until late in the game.
All that said, my fear is that Schottenheimer will decide Seattle needs to run the ball a lot during the opening part of week 10 against the 49ers. Versus the Buccaneers in week 9, the Seahawks threw often and early and while they didn’t score a lot of points early, they set the tone for a game that eventually ended with a victory.
