you got the ball first and tried to establish the run but failed miserably, still gave it a shot but failed miserably AGAIN... then in the second half when the Vikings had already took the Williams' out, you STILL couldn't run the ball even tho you still tried a couple times...... but at least you managed to avoid negative rushing yardage for the game... How's that for your running game analysis?
LOL...again, terrible, as already pointed out.
Forsett rushed 9...yes, that is correct...9 times. Seattle did NOTHING to establish the running game early, and it completely screwed the game up. Here is a run down of our play calling in the first half:
first Possession = 1 rushing attempt.
second possession = 1 rushing attempt.
third possession = 1 rushing attempt.
fourth possession = 1 rushing attempt
fifth possession = 0 rushing attempts
Number of times in shotgun in the first half=12.
In the second half, it was no different:
1st: 2 rushing attempts
2nd: 1 rush attempt
3rd: 3 attempts (most on ANY drive).
So as you can see, not establishing the run early, and trying to make it work, barely, late in the game just FAILED miserably. Fault? That is COACHING.
if you're not gonna have Julius Jones in, you'd be better off with Shaun Alexander right now than with Justin Forsett... he's a carbon copy of Barry Sanders, except without the cutback ability, speed, vision, and general ability to actually succeed in the NFL.
How many games have you seen Forsett run the ball? A simple question that requires a simple answer: a number.
From what i can tell, you have watched ONE: today's. Maybe you missed last week when Forsett had 123 yards against the 4th toughest running D in the NFL, in which the Hawks established the run EARLY on: 12 times to be exact, which is nearly 3X the amount we ran THIS week in the 1st half.
What does this all mean? Seattle never stuck with the run game, played against quite possibly the best front 4 in the NFL, ON THE ROAD (where we haven't won in over a year) with quite possibly the worst OL in the league. Your analysis means CRAP because your basing a rushing performance of a non-starting RB in his FIRST game starting EVER, in his second season, with a terrible OL.
But Forsett is weak and terrible and can never play in the NFL, based on your one game analysis of him. Give this guy a job in the front office of a NFL team, somebody....he knows his shit!
