Game Thread: Week 5- Seahawks vs. NY Giants

[Screamin12th]

28th in rushing attempts and 8th in YPC, tied for 3rd in Rushing TD. You just cant ignore and elite running game like the hawks have but that is 100% what they are doing. Who cares if Walker missed time They needed to use McIntosh more when Walker was out but they DID NOT. The Hawks are 22nd in the NFL in Yards per receptions and #1 in passing attempts. This is NOT right, this isn't playing to your strengths. Help the defense out, Help the ToP out HELP WIN GAMES. Use to GOD DAMN RUSHING ATTACK!

Walker had 20 carries in the first game of the season that dropped to 12 then to 5. In other words in 3 games he is averaging 12.3 carries a game. Cut it up anyway you like thats just is not going to work. Your Defense is young learning a new scheme the BEST THING you can do to help them is RUN THE FREAKING BALL! What makes this even more moronic is the TALENT LEVEL they have at RB! If it's Geno changing the plays to Passing plays then they need to bench his ass because it's not helping your young defense. Or short of benching him install scheme that the two plays he can change to are all runs in certain sets. FORCE Geno to not glory hunt if thats the reason the Hawks are SO UNBALLANCED.

I do not care if Geno only throws for 150 yards if we control ToP and win 17-14.

My bad they are dead last in Rushing attempts per game.

Makes sense... Especially since we've invested 2nd round picks in consecutive years on running backs...

And grabbed Williams (run blocking center), Tomlinson (typically better at run blocking although he's getting older), Bradford (100% through and through a run blocker)... the whole interior OL is meant for run blocking.

Now Tomlinson has sucked this year, and Bradford is just a general catastrophe... but let's not ignore the fact they went into the season with a running expectation. I could see someone making the case Grubb saw how fast NY was moving and thought it'd be another Detroit game (which it basically could've been, if the Giants didn't have that fumble it's 30-6 in the 4th quarter) but even on the 1st series of the game where we received the ball on kickoff, he had an empty backfield with 5 blockers lol.
