Is this team ready to commit to the run?

The big question to me is going to be how the defense performs....I'm sure they want to commit to running the football, and really they have an OL better suited to do so than sling it 40+ times per game, but McCarthy always talked about a run first approach too. It's great in theory, but as soon as you start falling behind in games can you stick with the ground attack? It's significantly easier to stick to the run game if you think your defense can hold teams to under 20 points with some consistency.

Very true, but how far are we down, and at what point in the game are we down so that we have to abandon the run. It's complete abandonment, and sprinkle in a run on 3rd and 21

I mean we need a RB to do that ...... and all we have right now are a bunch of guys we do not want.

Off-topic but it still hurts seeing Lisa Lopes. She died too young.

Yes, they are definitely committed with these two oft-injured rbs who absolutely can revive the run!

The more important question, STILL, is are they committed to stopping the run.

We signed Williams, and Sanders, we will surely be adding another back in the draft. We've hired coaches that want physicality brought back to this offense. One way to be physical is to run the ball down teams throats. With that said there's one issue. We're paying our QB $60 million to do pass the ball. Are we ready to watch him hand the ball off a lot?

The obvious answer is to be a balanced team. I think whatever happens, we should be a run first team, I feel like some will agree with this. We fix the trenches, find that right guard, get Steele playing great, Guyton comes back better, and we should be set!

I'm excited to see the run more, and us using the run to set up the pass! Dak is looking slim, hopefully this benefits him greatly! Please give your thoughts

Good stuff.

I’m hoping we get the old SeaHawks offense,
