The Seattle Seahawks have not particularly run the football consistently well this season. The departure of Kenneth Walker has left an impact. So did the departure of former offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who is the head coach of Sunday's Week 10 opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Seahawks recently got Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price back healthy at running back. Perhaps the rushing attack is moving in the right direction. The offense out-gained the Arizona Cardinals 120-50 via the ground-game in Week 9. Charbonnet rushed for a team-high 77 yards while averaging an impressive 4.8 yards per carry.
There's still room for improvement. Price was limited to 24 rushing yards (2.7 per attempt). Entering Week 10, the Seahawks rank 18th in rushing,
averaging 110.8 yards per weekly outing.
This Raiders defense has been an abomination versus the run. They rank dead-last (32nd) in the NFL, allowing 151.2 rushing yards per contest. They've also allowed 30+ points in six consecutive games. Unsurprisingly, they rank 32nd in that category as well (29.8/game).
The Seahawks are attempting to locate their footing as a rushing attack. This deplorable Raiders defense provides a get-right matchup for a struggling unit. The Seahawks must run the football successfully.
