Schottenheimer & Solari Together in Seattle

[Jarntt]

They were together for 3 years in Seattle.

The running game was very good during those 3 seasons.
2018: 1st in total rushing yards
2019: 4th in total rushing yards.
2020: 7th in yards/carry

They did that with average RBs like Chris Carson.

The complaints about Schottenheimer were with regards to the passing game.
- In Dallas the passing game will be McCarthy's responsibility.
- Also, in retrospect, Russel Wilson might have been declining more than fans/media realized.

Remember those rankings were also in part due to RW's rushing yards. But, those were some of RWs best passing years too which I think is telling

Sure. Make whatever excuses you want to make. This team won’t run the ball more next season.

More? No
Better? Believe so

They don't need to run it more, just better.

Agree. Dak only averaged 33 passes per game. Still some meat left on the running game bone

Exactly. That’s a different topic. I hope they can run the ball better. Now we are talking

Ok. Now we are talking

Good question. I have no idea.

Some possible RB coach candidates ? (past Green Bay/Seahawks RB coaches)
Ben Sirmans
Chad Morton
Sherman Smith
Sam Gash
Stump Mitchell
Alex Van Pelt
Jerry Fontenot

Even so, it's a lot to trust a rookie UDFA in a playoff game. I don't blame them for playing Zeke. We know he won't fumble or get the QB killed, even though he also won't threaten the D in any way. Gotta go with the reliable option in that scenario.

He should have been contributing all year long and overtaken Zeke already!!! Js

He had better rushing and passing stats than Zeke.

Zeke has failed us in 3 straight playoff games.

Thanks for playing

It would have to be someone that is not employed in the NFL.

Van Pelt is the OC in Cleveland.
