In context

PelisseroZach Charbonnet has been practicing the past two weeks. He's just not fully comfortable being back out there. So right now, Sheila, you have a run dominant Seahawks offense playing with their third and fourth and fifth string running backs. They're then in turn leaning more because they're not creating explosive plays in the run game.

PelisseroThe longest run last night was Sam Darnold had an 18 yarder. They're not creating explosive plays in the run game. So now you're going, all right, we're going to pump the ball to Jackson Smith and Jigba 16 times, 51 pass attempts.

PelisseroIt's not sustainable. It's just not for the Seahawks. I do believe Charbonne will be back in the next couple of weeks. Price is eligible to come off IR in the next couple of weeks. Maybe there's another addition that they can make. But to me, that is the biggest message here was the same Seahawks team that last year was struggling to run the football until they made some tweaks on their coaching staff in December and Kenneth Walker took off and

Pelisseroled the Superbowl run. They look like they're once again, trying to figure out how are we supposed to run the football with an offensive coordinator, Brian Fleury, who comes from a run game background, 51 passes for Sam Darnold. You're just not going to win a whole lot of games like that. Yeah. They got down,

Kapadiayou know, they're down 14, three. So I understand they feel like they need to pass the ball more, but then the run game's just not that good. So you're looking at it going, all right, you know, we can run into a brick wall here, but is it really going to be worth it.

KapadiaAnd your point about the explosives is a good one. I felt like even last year when they were running the ball, it wasn't always, you know, to be an efficient running team. It was really to create explosive plays in the passing game with play action. And I felt like that, I feel like that has been kind of missing, uh, for them this year.

KapadiaSo I didn't look at that and really panic, uh, about the Seahawks, you know, the two interceptions at the end with Darnold, they're turning over the football at kind of a historic rate for their franchise. I think they have 12 turnovers on the season. I think that leads the NFL.
