There's a reason Atlanta only had 307 rushing attempts against the entire season... 19.2 attempts per game which is among the lowest in the league.
Because other teams were behind and in throw mode.
Kind of goes both ways buddy... If your Defense can't stop the Seahawks running game i.e. Rawls and if by chance Seahawks break out the RPO with Wilson... And the Seahawks control T.O.P. for 35-40 minutes.
Not sure why you guys think that after 1 home game vs Detroit that Rawls is the reincarnation of Marshawn Lynch.
It was just 2 weeks ago you had 80 yards rushing against the worst run D in the league.;. 32nd ranked SF.
Rawls averaged what? 39 YPG during the season? Yeah... color us scared.
Rawls was injured a large part of season. When healthy this guy can roll. Look at last season when filling in for Lynch. Plus it is taking longer that we hoped but perhaps our Oline is starting to gel. Hawks football is predicated on the run. If we get that going you are in for along day.
BTW Detroit's Run D is on par with yours so if you are using those stats as a barometer then plan on getting gashed all day. It is not about stats it is about match ups.
