3. Macdonald's thoughts on the run game.
The Seahawks had moments and drives where the run game looked really good, but overall the Seahawks didn't get the production they wanted out of that part of their offense, averaging 3.2 yards per carry on 26 rush attempts.
"It seemed to me when we get it targeted and we're all on the same page, we're doing a lot of good stuff," Macdonald said. "When we have some indecisiveness, it felt like that's when things got twisted a little bit. But a lot of positives, guys are finishing plays the right way, and a lot of stuff that we can build on moving forward.
"I think it's fair to say when we're not running the ball effectively, we're either not hitting our targets or wrongly leveraged or maybe not taking the right path. It can just be one of whatever things, it's not like guys don't know what to do, it's just how to do them to a certain extent. We'll get those things cleaned up as we go. You're never going to play a perfect football game, that's why the effort and the physicality are so important, because a lot of times, that makes up for a little lack of detail here or there. They've got good players too. They're allowed to go make plays and they're allowed to gameplan and do some things that you may or may not expect. That's why the game of football is so great, it's just back and forth, this battle of wills. When we're on our stuff and when we're rolling, I think we can be pretty dang good."
The Seahawks did not use much play action or quarterback rollouts, generally considered key elements of the style of offense Klint Kubiak is running, something Macdonald said he'd like to see change going forward.
"We need to action more, we need more movement," Macdonald said. "So we'll call it and we'll execute it when called."
