On the second play of the game the Seattle Seahawks ran a play fake. It was ineffective.
The underneath coverage is marginally drawn in but in no way disadvantaged. The two deep safeties hardly move. The Seahawks have through a habit of negligence and abuse killed the primary strength of their offense. They’ve ensnared themselves in a trap of their own making.
This occurred on second and five. The Seahawks pass the ball on middle-range second downs, 3-7 yards to the first, 10% more frequently than the average NFL team.
