Analyst pitches Seahawks-Browns trade proposal to fix Seattle's run game

To the surprise of many, the Seattle Seahawks' offense has been one of the most exciting in the NFL through seven weeks, with Sam Darnold balling out and Jaxon Smith-Njigba developing into one of the best wide receivers in football.

However, the Seahawks' offense has been a bit more one-dimensional than they want. Sure, the aerial attack has been outstanding, but the ground game has been lackluster to say the least.

Seattle ranks 19th in rushing offense, averaging 106.1 yards per game, but ranks 30th in yards per attempt with just 3.7. Kenneth Walker has been OK with 430 yards (4.5 yards per attempt) and three touchdowns, but Zach Charbonnet has struggled to get going with 205 yards (2.8 yards per attempt) and five touchdowns, all of which have been short-yardage scores. If anything, the split backfield has done more harm than good for Seattle.

As good as the Seahawks' passing game has been, ESPN's Ben Solak warned that they could be in trouble if the ground game doesn't get going.

“No quarterback in the NFL throws against heavier boxes, more players in the box and less in deep coverage, than Sam Darnold does,” Solak said Thursday on Seattle Sports’ Bump and Stacy. “However, eventually at some point, you will run into a defense that says ‘OK, we’re going to force you to run it on us for four quarters. We’re going to send lighter boxes, we’re going to put a nickel DB on the field, we’re really going to make you actually run out of these looks.'”

The good news is that the upcoming trade deadline could provide a chance for them to fix it. Solak recommeded they go after not a running back, but instead an offensive lineman, specifically naming Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller as an intriguing option. Offensive linemen moving mid-season is quite rare, but the Seahawks are in position to bolster their roster for a postseason run.

“If I were in the room right now with (general manager) John Schneider and he asked me if we should go for (an offensive lineman), I would say let’s go for one,” Solak said. “Not with the belief that it’s going to make us better in October and November, but with the belief it’s going to make us better in December and January. If we can go trade for talent from the Browns and improve that right guard spot, let’s do it.”

The Seahawks showed they wanted to run a more balanced offense when they brought in offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, and while they're certainly running the ball more than they did before, most of those runs haven't been very productive. If they want to fix it, then they better act soon ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.

J.J. McCarthy Reportedly Removed from Victoria's Secret After-Party Following Alleged Insult to Veteran Model

In an unexpected turn of events, college football star J.J. McCarthy was reportedly escorted out of the Victoria’s Secret after-party following accusations of making offensive remarks towards a veteran model. According to sources close to the incident, the situation unfolded rapidly after

McCarthy allegedly directed disrespectful comments toward the model, leading security to intervene and remove him from the venue.

The incident reportedly took place late into the evening at the glamorous after-party, which was filled with high-profile figures from both the fashion and entertainment industries.

McCarthy, known for his successful career as a quarterback, was in attendance along with other celebrities and influencers. However, what started as a celebratory evening soon turned sour after the alleged altercation with the model.

Sources claim that McCarthy’s remarks were met with immediate disapproval from those around him, including other guests at the party. While the nature of the comments has not been fully disclosed, it was clear that the remarks crossed a line, prompting staff and security to take swift action. Reports indicate that

McCarthy was warned multiple times about his behavior before being escorted out of the venue by security personnel.

An insider who was at the event shared, “J.J. was warned about his comments more than once, but the situation escalated quickly. He was finally asked to leave after it became clear that his actions were causing a disruption. The decision to remove him from the party was made to prevent any further incidents and maintain the atmosphere of the event.”

As of now, there has been no official statement from J.J. McCarthy regarding the incident, and it remains unclear how the situation will affect his public image or any future events he may attend. However, the altercation has already attracted attention, with many questioning the athlete’s conduct in social settings outside of his football career.

While some fans have expressed disappointment over the reported incident, others have called for more context before passing judgment. Regardless, this event has undoubtedly brought a spotlight to McCarthy’s actions off the field, adding to the conversation about athletes’ behavior in public spaces.

This controversy marks a sharp contrast to the typically composed image athletes strive to maintain, especially in high-profile and exclusive settings like the Victoria's Secret after-party. As more details emerge, both fans and critics alike are closely watching to see how

McCarthy will respond to the allegations and whether it will have any lasting impact on his career or reputation.Continue reading
