It’s almost draft day, and the Seahawks have a chance to do something about their lackadaisical running game beyond changing offensive coaches.
In his expansive news conference after the Seahawks’ season-ending loss to Arizona, Pete Carroll telegraphed the turbulent offseason to come when he spoke of the “huge decisions to be made.”
I’m wondering if he wasn’t also sending a message when, while cataloging the deficiencies that kept the Seahawks out of the playoffs, he began, emphatically, with the running game.
“We have a real formula of how we win, and we have been unable the last two years to incorporate a major aspect of that, and it’s running the football,’’ Carroll said that somber day, nearly four months ago.
