The Seahawks need a good running game to get right — I’m just not sure one is available

Rob Staton argues that the Seattle Seahawks need an established rushing attack to balance their struggling offense, comparing their situation to the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles. Seattle currently averages 3.8 yards per carry, ranking in the bottom third of the league, while quarterback Sam Darnold has thrown seven touchdowns and five interceptions through a 3-2 start.

Staton contends that current backups Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani lack explosive traits, while injured running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price remain uncertain immediate options. While dismissing expensive trade pursuits for stars like Jonathan Taylor or Saquon Barkley, the writer asserts that Seattle must await Charbonnet's return rather than sacrificing high draft capital.
