JUST IN: Seahawks Legend K.J. Wright Announces addresses three issues………..

Seahawks Takeaways: In advance of Week 18, K.J. Wright addresses three issues.

It’s all or nothing for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

The Seahawks dropped to 8-8 on the season after losing their home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-23 in Week 17. This effectively left them in a situation where they would need to win if they want to make the playoffs when they play the 4-12 Cardinals at 1:25 p.m. on Sunday.

During Wednesday’s Brock and Salk segment on Seattle Sports’ weekly K.J. Wright Show, the former great Seahawks player offered his opinions on all things related to the team. You may listen to the entire episode in the player below or on the podcast available at this link, or you can view a video of Wright in the studio at the top of this page. We’ll next go over some of the more noteworthy observations he made.

Jordyn Brooks, a linebacker for the Seahawks, has not played since he sustained an ankle injury on December 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wright, a former player who was selected to one Pro Bowl as a linebacker, stated that there was an obvious issue against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh ran for 202 yards to 88 by the Seahawks’ offense, while Seattle gave up 468 yards of offensive yardage to the Steelers. The Hawks only recorded one sack for the whole game.

“The absence of Jordyn Brooks was like night and day,” Wright remarked. Since he first entered the picture, he has been a downward spiraling individual who shoots and takes his shot when he finds an opportunity. And he only had to deal with the injury to his ankle. Bobby Wagner and Devin Bush were playing football, but Jordyn was undoubtedly missing from the field. And since the Arizona Cardinals will be using the same exact game plan, he must return this time.

Despite their investment in the position, the Seahawks rank fourth from last in the NFL with just 90.1 rushing yards per game. They drafted Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker III in the second round in back-to-back years.

Wright focused on the offensive line when questioned about the circumstances.

He stated, “I think we can get better, interior, with the offensive line. I think we can improve in that position.” “K-9 (Walker) is a really, really good football player when he is getting north and south. I repeat this every single week. He is an extremely talented football player. Zach Charbonnet needs to advance. He needs to mature significantly more and become the one-two punch we require. He was selected in the second round for a purpose, and as of yet, his output hasn’t been up to par. Can some large males please move up front?

The Hawks are 25th out of the 32 teams in the league with a third-down conversion percentage of 35.4%, which is another offensive metric where Seattle has failed. Does third-year offensive coordinator Shane Waldron bear any of that?

Wright did not hold Waldron accountable. Rather, he highlighted the ways in which being out of rhythm may affect nearly everything.

When attempting to run the ball doesn’t work, what do you do? When do you reach a deadlock at the line of scrimmage? He stated. Furthermore, you’re in the worst quarter of the league when it comes to third down, so you can’t even start the run game. Shane seems to be attempting to run the ball, so I glance at him, but K-9, O-line, give me something. I need you to stay with me on third down, Geno (Smith), so I can return to it. I see that every aspect of football, including play calling, third down, the offensive line, and the running game, is interconnected. Everything must be in unison.
