Moreso the blueprint was our over reliance on Graham and Sproles in the passing game, and Paytons lack of commitment to the running game. When those 2 couldn't get open we had no idea what to do next.

We really COULDN'T run for most of the year. Brown was never a consistent run blocker. Neither was dlp. Evans was hurt for the first part of the year, and Grubbs was sandwiched between dlp and Brown.

He was committed, but it would be foolish to continue to do something in a game that doesn't work. Oline play was atrocious until Brown was yanked out of the starting lineup.

I think the way to beat the Seahawks blueprint is by having receivers like Stills and Cooks to go along with Colston and Graham and continuing to focus on running the football. Ingram cannot fumble though. I don't think Sherman can stay with Cooks, so we need to find ways to get him a clean release from the line and a little bit of space.
Once that happens, the middle opens up and gives Graham a bit more room to operate.

I also think that we have to have home field if we want to beat Seattle. In our house with no noise and perfect weather, we will smoke them.
