NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - OCTOBER 09: Taysom Hill #7 of the New Orleans Saints is tackled by Ryan Neal #26 of the Seattle Seahawks at Caesars Superdome on October 09, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana. knew exactly what the New Orleans Saints were going to try to do to them on Sunday. They just couldn't stop it.
The Seahawks are now allowing 170 rushing yards a game through the first five weeks of the season. After allowing a season-low 103 yards in the first week to the Denver Broncos, the Seahawks have allowed 189 rushing yards to the San Francisco 49ers, 179 yards to th Atlanta Falcons, 145 yards to the Detroit Lions and now 235 to the Saints.
A quarterback capable of running does put greater stress on a run defense. It essentially adds an extra player to the offense since a quarterback usually is a non-factor in a play after a hand-off. It would be one thing if Seattle's run game struggles were just a one-time thing. But it's five games of sample size to show a problem.
Penny was immediately in obvious discomfort and took his helmet off. He then slid backwards off the field in a seated position. Eventually he was helped to a cart and taken back to the locker room. He did not return to the game. "I'm ready. You know, we practice it every day. I feel real comfortable with the offense. You know, I got older running backs in there to teach me everything I need to know. So I feel real comfortable in the scheme."The Seahawks seem to have found a gem in rookie cornerback Tariq Woolen.
