Our run game is trash

[getnasty]

Last 6 games have been horrible. Felt like yesterday was a day to take advantage of a mediocre run defense but once again underwhelming.

Need to find away to at least be efficient. Hoping the OL can gel a bit, running backs get a little healthier and Shane can find some creativity in his bag to get things trending in the right direction.

Can we not enjoy Christmas and a post Seahawks victory without a Debbie Downer post? Is it really that hard to do?

The run game was actually the reason we won against the Eagles. But yeah. It hasn't been great.

Here's hoping for better things in 24. After all, it is a special # in Seahawks lore.

I'm getting really tired of seeing the word "trash" in so many posts describing our players etc.

Walker has been injured. Charbs is coming along.

I don’t know man…I have a feeling we are going to see K9 and Charbs go off soon.

And this is coming from a glass is half empty guy.

They have the talent!!

Then lead with that, next time

Hyperbole for effect is so tired on the internet. It just stokes division and anger.

We can all have opinions without such polarity. Most things are neither as good or as bad as they seem.

I think the run game is out of sync. I see either the runner getting to the spot of the hole too early or blockers coming in late. I think it needs a whole offseason to fix.

I agree with the synchronization but, I also believe the injuries have had a lot to do with it.

With everyone healthy (Lucas…Cross…K9…etc..), I think it’ll come together quick.

I don't like running out of the shotgun with Geno.
When Lock played we did better from under the center in running,
so why does Geno have to be in the gun most of the time?
He's not a short QB.

Good point!

Titans have been decimated by injuries, yet they were opening up huge holes and getting 10 yards runs on 1st down.

If you could replace only one offensive lineman in the draft, who would you choose?

Exactly this. I especially hate running short yardage from shotgun!

I think this is mostly due to how much inside zone the Seahawks run, inside zone is easier to run in shotgun as it gives more space for the RB to make cutbacks if need be. The O-line IMO is still very raw, Lucas hasn't been healthy since week 1, and it's been a constant shuffle at the guard position all year.

Seems like center has been a revolving door since Unger left so I'd definitely go there.

Buddy it's an NFL forum. Next time I'll send it my editor before hitting the post button.
