3 paths to victory for the Seahawks versus Lions in Week 4
By Lee Vowell
The Seahawks need a win badly in Week 4. Heck, so do the Lions. But who cares about Detroit? How does Seattle win the game?
Maybe 2-2 after this Sunday’s game doesn’t sound exciting for Seahawks fans. But would we rather be 1-3? And with the way the season unfolds after Week 4, it doesn’t look like there are any sure-wins left. So Seattle needs to beat a banged-up Detroit team on Sunday.
But what does Seattle need to do to become victorious and anguish that evil (for this week anyway) horde of Detroit? Maybe the three ways that follow.
Three ways the Seahawks can win in Week 4
Seahawks need to give the ball to Rashaad Penny over and over again
Hello, Shane Waldron! Not sure what you are up to but this is an open letter to you. You are still fairly new to your job. Last year you seemed to figure out what your offense was with a third of the season left. I don’t blame you. You had no quality healthy running backs in which to implement whatever your idea of a Rams-type offense is. Then you got Rashaad Penny back late in 2021 and boom! The offense was great!
The confusing part is that you haven’t taken the end of last year and transposed into 2022. Honestly, you seemed to have intentionally ignored what you saw that worked. Penny is healthy currently and the Seahawks chose Ken Walker in the second round of the 2022 draft. But throw the ball you must, it seems.
Forget, Mr. Waldron, what you think you know. In Week 4 you must run the ball and run it over and over again. Keep your offense on the field and eat clock because you have talented running backs and the Lions are also bad against the run. Don’t overthink it. Give Rashaad Penny the ball 25 times and enjoy yourself after Seattle wins the game.
