Going Back to Seahawks Smashmouth Football

I think with the release of Michaels and the promotion of Pope, it's all about going back to being a physical smashmouth team in the running game.

You got Trukafoo and 3 RBs, Rawls, Prosise, and Pope who can help wear down a defense, if all three gets significant snaps in the run game, defense will be worn down by the 3rd quarter. As much as I like Michaels, it seemed like he was making more of a business decision to stay healthy to get that huge contract for next year instead of balling out and having no fear out there.

maybe..just hope Rawls can stay healthy...if not not sure who would be punching it in on the goal line.

Tanner McEvoy?

Nice seeing some guards pull and hb sweep. Might be wrong, but i swear i saw much more of that when cable first got here. Seems like all they ran was zone read/zone runs for the last year or so.

Same people who have done it the last several years. Even with Lynch this team was never a line it up and drive it in type of a goal line, 3rd & 1, 4th & 1 type of offense. Perhaps Prosise can be a hand it to him, leap over the line type of athletic short yardage runner the team has needed.
