Here are some striking statistics. Granted, the sample size is limited, but I believe it speaks to the great promise of what this offense can be with Percy in the mix.
In the 22 drives in which Percy and Russell both participated in 2013, Seattle had 9 touchdowns, 6 field goals, 7 punts/turnover on downs, 1 time expiration at halftime, and 0 fumbles or interceptions. Throwing out the end of the half drive, as is done with this stat, Seattle averaged 3.68 points per drive. In comparison, Denver led the league in the regular season with 2.98 points per drive.
This preseason, Seattle has 5.63 points per drive with Russ and Percy in the mix in 8 drives.
Granted, doing this in the regular season over the span of 170+ drives is a different matter. But I think we could potentially have a top 3 offense in terms of efficiency (pts. per drive). We were 9th last year at 2.16.
