The Seahawks plan to take away Brock Purdy’s greatest asset — his surprising steadiness as an inexperienced rookie.
"First and foremost, you’ve got to stop them from running the football," Hurtt said."If they can stay balanced and 50 [percent running plays], 50 [percent passing plays], they can keep him in the comfort zone. You want to try to create ways to make them one-dimensional."
The Seahawks surrendered 100-yard rushing games to seven different running backs this season, most recently Los Angeles Rams' Cam Akers, who went off for 104 yards on the ground last week.
