The Seattle Seahawks‘ M.O. offensively over the past three seasons has been centered around an effective run game and efficient quarterback play. When I say efficient, I’m not only talking about keeping turnover numbers low, but also doing the little things well.
In baseball, many consider the first-pitch strike to be the most important. Converting on third down is obviously a big part in creating a flow offensively, but success on first and second downs to me is like throwing a first-pitch strike.
On first and second downs, Russell Wilson registered a quarterback rating above 100 and completed 65 percent of his passes.
