... sub-par. Last season the Seahawks ranked 19th in rushing offense, averaging 110 yards per game.

 

This season the Seattle Seahawks will implement a zone-blocking scheme to help open up more running lanes for Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett. 

 

A zone-blocking scheme requires fleet-footed and athletic offensive linemen. The most important aspect of such a scheme is not to create a specific hole; rather, the key is creating movement on the defensive line.

Defense:  DE, DT, DT, DE, ROLB, MLB, LOLB
