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.

Holani locked in as 3rd-down back with pass-pro value, but Price's efficiency may limit volume.

George Holani is established as the Seahawks' 3rd-down back, averaging 3.6 yards per carry on 8 attempts in Week 1. The source notes Seattle "likes what George Holani brings to the table on 3rd downs" and wants to "make sure he's an established threat on the ground in his own right, so as not to tip off a pass play." Holani also provided "elite pass protection reps" that enabled successful pass plays for Drew Lock. However, rookie Jadarian Price's superior efficiency (5.2 YPC) suggests Price may receive increased early-down work going forward.
