Pete Carroll hired Brian Schottenheimer to be the Seahawks offensive coordinator for two reasons. He wants new challenges for Russell Wilson, and he wants the running game to improve.

The great Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times wrote this in-depth look at the changes coming to the Seattle offense. As always, it’s a terrific piece, full of enlightening quotes from both Carroll and Schottenheimer.
