I dunno. Very interesting debate/conversation, really. Its a league-wide thing, not just a Seahawk thing. And it recurs over and over.
Pete came within a hair of winning Two rings with that Run first offense. He’s had many many playoff teams with that offense. Why change it? Why not just draft another great RB and play the same style?
OTOH, Russell is a very bright man. Maybe he knows what he’s talkin about. Maybe its not just QB-ego talkin.
You can trace this kinda discussion back many years. Back in the day, A lot of teams wanted to copy the GSOT and be more ‘exciting’ and fan-friendly.
But then the Bucs and Ravens won big with Big-Bad-Defense, and a lot of that talk went away.
Many paths to the mountaintop. Hard to say if the Seahawks are more suited to a Ground-first attack or somethin else.
