Carlos Hyde should NEVER get 160 yards against us, especially behind that offensive line.

Though they are currently running the ball down the tacks' throats, Carolina should never run for 200+ yards against us.

Agreed. Dareus was talented enough against the run to occasionally hide the problem at times but something has to change in terms of the scheme.

Unsure if scheme or personnel.

We've run Seattle's scheme for years.

Seattle was 10th against the run in 2013 (Braadley's 1st year here).
Seattle was 3rd against the run in 2014
first vs the run in 15
7th vs the run in '16
19th vs the run in '17
13th vs the run last year
and 16th vs the run going into this week.

As athletic as Jack is, it hasn't translated into overall defensive stoutness against the run.  Now I don't intend to put all or even most of the blame on him.But we had issues even with Dareus being here.

Again, I'm not sure if it's talent or scheme.  Whatever it is, I wish this team would solve the issue.
