Seattle is 15-2 in Walker's career when he gets 15 or more carries. Less than 15? 4-15. He can't be special if he's not getting the rock.

Stats like this don't really make much sense though - Walker has a whole lot of games where he has carried the ball 10-12 times for 2-3YPC. So A: we're not getting enough 1st downs or short yardage 3rd downs to keep feeding him, and B: why would you keep giving it to a guy who isn't making any yardage

We need to bench K9 and draft a bruiser back. The line sucks but K9 is nothing special.
K9 would make a great change of pace back but by no means will he ever be a good inside the Tackles back

What can you say, with a 4 and 4 record? They are doing some good things, and they are doing some bad things. We do know at the start of the season, Mike McDonald thought, the team is exactly where it needs to be at that moment.

It took Pete Carroll 4 years to make it to the Super Bowl, it took Mike Holmgren 8 years, so I'm gonna give Mike McDonald at least two years, before I can evaluate him in any meaningful way. Right now, if I was being honest, I would give him a B.

As far as the team, I think it's unbalanced, and some tough decisions need to be made moving forward, but overall, nothing to bad. I hope the Seahawks steer clear from any more big contracts, until the team is rolling.
Holmgren took seven years before he won his first playoff game for the Seahawks. Doubt McDonald will be given the same luxury of time to get it right

Holmgren came with Superbowl on his resume, Pete came without Superbowl but college national championships.

Our young Macdonald is of course a genius, but a genius without any head coaching experience. He further intrigued the fan base by assembled an all rookie coaching ensemble. I therefore preach patience as so many people on the coaching staffs are learning on the job.

Patience, folks, lots of patience.

The team is more bad than good. Next off season will be super interesting and will show if coaches/FO have been paying attention to team needs.

Heartbreak hawks coming to a town near you! Watch your blood pressure folks, haha.
