3 big areas of improvement needed for the 2023 Seahawks offense
Geno Smith was tied with Davis Mills for most red zone sacks taken , and his completion percentage was a pedestrian 52.9% on 70 attempts. The glaring issue? DK Metcalf targets.
The Smith to Metcalf connection was a wildly inefficient 8-of-27 for 62 yards and 5 touchdowns. No one else on the team had more than 8 red zone targets, which is insane. Metcalf was 3rd across the entire league in red zone targets but no one else in the top-10 had a catch rate below 45%. In fact for his career he’s 33-of-79 for 23 touchdowns in the red zone, but his rookie year and 2022 were both below 30% catch rates.
Kenneth Walker III had the 2nd most red zone carries , and also the 2nd most red zone carries for no gain or a loss of yardage behind Williams. Whereas Williams led the NFL with 16 red zone touchdowns on 57 attempts, Walker had 7 touchdowns on 48 carries. Less than 30% of Walker’s red zone rushes resulted in a first down or a touchdown, which really goes along with his.
