Q: Did Waldron call 81% pass plays against Green Bay?

[renofox]

Or did RW continuously change run plays to passes?

Despite finding moderate success running the football on Sunday, Seattle dialed up pass plays on 81 percent of its offensive snaps...

Per NFL Next Gen stats, Green Bay had six or fewer defenders in the box on 97 percent of its defensive plays, the second-highest percentage for any team in a game this season. Berry rarely dialed up blitzes either, sending five or more defenders after Russell Wilson just 19 percent of the time, but that didn't prevent them from ratcheting up constant pressure on the quarterback.

The run game was functioning OK to good when utilized, but the Seahawks kept passing, passing, passing even though the GB defense was consistently showing pass defense.

Occam's Razor does not yield a flattering answer. wth is going on with this team?

The finger,
To protect the finger, none of the snaps were under the center
again to protect the finger, less hand offs.
it's all about the finger, and our chef likes to cook, to play the game his way.

From another article Gravy aptly posted:

Waldron’s run game has also had to change to suit his quarterback. This offense is based around outside zone running plays, which are typically most effective when run from under center. But Wilson is at his best in the shotgun, which has forced another departure from the McVay philosophy. In 2020, the Rams ranked 30th in shotgun usage, according to Sports Info Solutions. Through Wilson’s first five starts before the finger injury this season, the Seahawks ranked 16th and had already called more shotgun runs than Los Angeles had in all of last year.

Sunday’s game was a microcosm of Seattle’s disjointed offense. Due to the finger injury, Wilson was unable to take a snap from under center, so Waldon had to use pistol formations to call the concepts he’d typically run from under center. That limited what he could call—especially in the run game

That could be the only explanation I could see for not running more, when the packers D was playing on average 16.1 yards off the ball...

Seriously, do we need 75 threads about Russ and his finger?

So we should have played Geno to give us the chance to run the offense that's intended to be run, especially against GB.

The memo stated 83.000 is the cut off . Seems right .

of course, the hater needs to hammer home the same old crap over and over and over, and if they cant find any real stuff the will just make it up.

The fact is if the OCs system is not a fit for Wilson then he should not have been and that is on PC

The point does illustrate that Russ does what he wants, even if it hurts the team.
