Losing the Super Bowl MVP Ken Walker III in free agency, the state of the run game may be the Seattle Seahawks' biggest question mark as they prepare to defend their Super Bowl title with a looming season opener against the New England Patriots just one week away.

Emerald City Spectrum reporter Corbin Smith revisits Seattle's crazy rushing splits from the first to second half last season and examines how concerned fans should be about the team having similar issues early in the 2026 season with a new stable of largely inexperienced backs led by rookie Jadarian Price and a new offensive coordinator in Brian Fleury calling plays.
