The Seattle Seahawks made it clear this offseason they were looking to make a shift in offensive philosophy.

The franchise moved on from offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and hired Klint Kubiak to bring his Shanahan-style system to the Pacific Northwest, with hopes it would revive the Seahawks’ dormant run game. Seattle even spent a draft pick on a fullback, something that doesn’t happen all that often in this era of football.

The Seahawks showed their commitment to run game under Kubiak in their season opener Sunday against the division rival San Francisco 49ers. However, it didn’t result in much success during a slog of a day for new starting quarterback Sam Darnold and the rest of the group as they fell 17-13.
