Ifedi departs, enter Shell and quietly the Hawks offense dominates. Hawks lose Carson and Hyde, Russ struggles. Any coincidence that Shell is out and the offense struggles? Shell is "part" of the reason why the offense has turned around. Get well soon big fella, we need you for the stretch run.

Agreed. Shell has turned out to be an excellent OL. His run and pass blocking is second to none on this team. Really impressive. Lewis is another good one.

I hate it when the Seahawks do that.
Conventional thought would be, they don’t want to bring out their “good” stuff, just keep it mediocre and win.
Against a “good” team is when they bring out their better stuff.
It’s kind of like, you are a cafeteria worker and you feed customers, cheap food, but when you eat, you eat only the good stuff.
This is how Pete Carroll operates.
That is why Seattle a lot of times play down to the level of their opponents and often do not blow bad teams out.
Unfortunately you can tell what you're gonna get from Seattle ( on Offense )early on. In the redzone on the first drive, the play calling was disjointed and/or the execution was lacking (DK missing the block on 4th/goal which would've been a TD). Combine that with that odd Glazed over look in Russell's eyes (looks like he's stoned out of his mind) and you have a shit offense for the entire game. From then on, it felt like the play calling was just either a beat too quick or a beat too slow. Carson on his bullying TD run and DK overall, outside of the TD drop, were the difference in the game. The defense played extremely wellHawkRiderFan":2t01xyum said:I think this might have been Shotti's worst game of the year tonight, and I include the Bills and Rams losses in that. The line was not run blocking yet he kept going back to it setting up long yardage downs. The fourth down play calls were awful....although Pete put that on him in the post game interview. Exactly how involved does he get on offensive play calls?
I guess he's not to blame for the holding penalty wiping out a TD and the DK drop but overall I thought outside of DK the offence was not good tonight.

Agreed. If their offense didn't turn the ball over as much as they do and leave them in crappy spots, their record would be much better. Wilson took some hits but overall, I think the O-Line did a good job against that front four.
