When the Seahawks play early downs, they are overwhelmingly an under center offense in 12, 13, or 21 personnel. They're carrying at least an extra tight end and/or Brady Russell more than 60 percent of the time when it's first or second down.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Russell used in heavy personnel over 60% of early downs; absent on third down.

Brady Russell is used as an extra tight end or additional blocker more than 60% of the time on first or second down when the Seahawks employ 12, 13, or 21 personnel (heavy formations). This heavy personnel usage on early downs contrasts sharply with the Seahawks' shift to 11 personnel (spread) on third down 80% of the time, which removes Russell and other extra blockers from the formation and eliminates play-action opportunities.
