Coach Mike Macdonald has faith the Seattle Seahawks are going to get their ground game going.
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III runs the ball against Buffalo Bills defensive end Dawuane Smoot during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024, in Seattle. The Seahawks have lost four of five after a 3-0 start and hope to shift the season back in their favor on Sunday at home against their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams. A key to putting the season back on track is clearly the running game.
“We’re going to get this thing rolling," Macdonald said. "I think once you complement getting the run game going with all the other mechanisms we have in our offense and our system and all of our skill guys and the way Geno’s throwing the ball, I think that could be a really potent attack.” Overall, the Seahawks rank 29th in the league against the run, with an average of 148.4 yards allowed. They'll be challenged by the Rams' Kyren Williams, who has eight rushing touchdowns.The Rams raised eyebrows in late August when they abruptly traded Ernest Jones, their leading tackler and defensive signal-caller, to Tennessee for a mere late-round pick upgrade in 2026 after failed negotiations on a contract extension for the fourth-year pro.
Coach Sean McVay’s replacements at inside linebacker are not at Jones’ level, and the coach essentially acknowledged it this week: “I think all the decisions that we make in the moment, we feel like are in the best interest. I’m not going to pretend to act like every decision is accurate, and you try to be able to learn from it and apply it moving forward.”While there were hopes Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf could return, he was ruled out on Friday.
