Dante Fowler’s off-season hype hasn’t translated to in-season production *yet*, and he’s not alone, which is a real problem for our Seahawks offense right now. We’re talking about essential role players who entered the year with huge expectations, but their numbers simply haven’t matched up so far. These things do take time, sure, but our coaching staff and a little bit of luck just haven’t clicked to unlock their full impact.
Our Key Role Players Are Stuck In Neutral
Fowler and his compatriots are absolutely essential to our team success and scheme. The source makes it clear that we’ve got to get him and others to “lock in.” But it’s not just Fowler. Elijah Arroyo and Rashid Shaheed have also been incredibly quiet. Do you think it’s vital we have these two working in the offense? Can we really do without these three fellas, or is our long-term success partially driven by the presence of these unique role players? The Seattle Times even called them out for being quiet despite high expectations. It’s early, yes, but we need these guys making an impact, especially with the offense struggling to find its rhythm.
One OC Is Killing It, But The Offense Still Can’t Find Its Rhythm
It’s a weird situation because on one hand, Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury is getting praise. The talk is he “wasn’t built to be an OC,” but he’s “so good at it,” and he’s definitely “off to a good start.” “O Fleur-Sure!” is the buzz. Yet, our offense keeps starting so slow! We just lost a meaningful game for the first time in ten months, and the fanbase has a ton of questions. To make things even tougher for Sunday’s Week 4 matchup against the Chargers, running back Jadarian Price has been ruled out with a new setback. Fumbling isn’t even his most pressing issue right now; he’s adding to a slow start, and head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed he’s out. The good news? Julian Love is “Feeling Good” and set to return after missing one game with a calf injury. And hey, Zach Charbonnet is “fantastic,” so there’s that silver lining.
This Sunday at Lumen Field against the Los Angeles Chargers is a massive bounceback opportunity for our Seahawks. Stacy Rost looked at two numbers we need to know for this game, and you know everyone in the Emerald City is looking for answers. We need those “quiet” guys , Fowler, Arroyo, Shaheed , to finally break out and contribute, especially with Price sidelined. Let’s see if our offense can finally figure out why it keeps starting so slow and give us something to cheer about. Go, ‘Hawks!
