I saw this article on NFL.com about the "Biggest losers of the Divisional Round" and Bevells name came up.
"Surely we won't run on 3rd-1 even though we're in a run formation, our best runner isn't in!"
Trying to "trick" the defense by keeping the better player on the bench ... classic Bevell.As the Seattle Seahawks' offensive coordinator, you hand the ball off to Robert Turbin on third-and-1 and Michael Robinson on fourth-and-1? Do you remember that you employ Marshawn Lynch? Trying to get cute? That's totally unacceptable when your team is in a big first-half hole and desperate for points.
