Longtime lurker, as I rarely post. I’m a lifelong fan that resides in Utah (Dad grew up in Renton, he rightfully instituted Seahawks culture into our family at a very young age). Anyways, as I was watching the game, I couldn’t help but notice the lack of ingenuity in the play-calling on offense. This isn’t a fire bevell thread by all means, because I believe he’s capable of calling an effective game. I don’t understand why the Seahawks have basically abandoned the under center formation. I think that by not having more under center formations, the Seahawks are really doing themselves a disservice by looking more predictable on offense. What I’d like to see going forward:
1) More basic I formations and split back sets. With 2 FBs on the roster, I would imagine that having a FB in the play would improve pass blocking as well as the run game. I also think the play action can be sold more with a FB involved. Anyone have a clue why we hardly ever use under center formations? Is it because Russell has less time to vision the field?
2) When we’re on 4th and 1, I’m all for running it, but please use something different than something out of a shotgun formation. I’d prefer the Seahawks to use a power I formation for once… Why we try to get cute running it out of the gun is beyond me.
3) Please stop the pistol formation. I feel like we haven’t seen a play that works under the pistol… Just awful.
I’m interested in hearing thoughts on the board. Thanks
