Seattle likes what George Holani brings to the table on 3rd downs, and they likely want to make sure he's an established threat on the ground in his own right, so as not to tip off a pass play. There were some pass plays that worked out for Drew Lock and the Seattle Seahawks last Wednesday because of the elite pass protection reps of 'Steady George' Holani.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Holani's 3rd-down role and pass protection value offset lower rushing efficiency than Price.

Holani picked up 3.6 yards per carry on 8 attempts against the Patriots, less efficient than rookie Jadarian Price's 5.2 YPC. However, the source notes Seattle likes what Holani brings on 3rd downs and wants to establish him as a ground threat to avoid tipping off pass plays. Holani also provided elite pass protection reps that enabled successful pass plays for Drew Lock.
