Seahawks Lose Walker, Face Run Game Crisis

0:00On April 2nd, the Seattle Seahawks let running back Kenneth Walker the third bolt to the Kansas City cheese, saving themselves about 36. Million dollars in cap space tied to that massive Super Bowl MVP contract. Walker was their explosive three-down threat, but the team figured they could give by without overpaying at the position. Now they're staring down a thin backfield, with Zach Sharbanay as a solid pass protector and goal-line guy. But guys like Zach Wilson, George Halani, and Kenny McIntosh just don't bring that same home run speed or gap exploding ability Walker had. Fans and analysts are buzzing that this could tank their run game, especially after averaging 123 rushing yards per game last. Season, good for 10th in the league, without a true compliment to Sharbanay that one two punch vanishes, hurting one of the NFL's most dynamic offenses. Draft prospects this year mostly mirror what they've already got, efficient but not game breakers, like Top Guide Jeremiah Love, on, with new offensive.

1:03Coordinator Clint Cubiak out, they might lean harder on Sam Darnal through the air if the line struggles. Walker's 1027 yards and five scores on 221 carries, plus 282 receiving yards, won't be easy. To match, leaving Seahalt's brass wishing they'd found a way to keep their playoff spark alive.
