Super Bowl 60 game

Hard to believe Walker is the first RB since Terrell Davis to win Super Bowl MVP.

 

Niners were destroyed by injuries. Had they still had warner and bosa, likely win the #1 seed and go all the way. ****ty luck.

 

That game will go down as one of the Superbowls that waa played!

 

Looks like the NFL changed it to an Int, so Maye's ended with 6 sacks and 2 ints. He did not set the Superbowl record for most sack at 7.

 

Agreed. That said, Kenneth Walker III was secretly a massive reason for the Seahawks Offensive Success. JSN had a phenomenal year no doubt and Sam Darnold finally has a place that can trust him. Kenneth Walker though stirs that drink for that Offense.


Without him?! Team still has the weapons to beat many teams but it will not be as doable.

 

Too bad Seattle was HANDED all the turnovers and sacks by Patriots

No real super bowl champion this year

SO SAD

 

NE was bad and made the SB with one of the worst playoff runs on offense in NFL history.

 

Walker may not have the statistic output that JSN does. However, just about every Kubiak Offense needs a great rushing attack to compliment their heavy Play Action usage. Kenneth Walker's health, as you stated, made a massive difference in that regard.


Thanks to Walker's abilities in the Wide Zone Blocking Scheme along with Seattle's success in Play Action, the entire Offense was able to flourish. Granted, even before the draft, I said that JSN had a strong chance to outplay his draft slot and that Seattle adding him in was a superb idea.


That all said, the Klint Kubiak Offense literally runs through its capabilities to deploy the Wide Zone Blocking Scheme both proficiently and consistently. Grey Zabel, Charles Cross, Anthony Bradford and Abraham Lucas are all rock solid Offensive Linemen in their own right. That by itself is only one half of the equation. To make Klint's Offense truly click, he needed a Running Back who possessed both short area explosiveness, superb agility and homerun speed. Kenneth Walker III fitted that bill to the T.



Long story short?! JSN is the playmaker on Offense but Kenneth Walker III is the engine. Him earning Super Bowl MVP should surprise no one.

 

I might not call that a great game. For most NFL fans I'd think it was a bore.

 

Not sure I agree about Walker's blocking abilities. From the seahawks games I saw he was a liability in pass pro.

 

Woulda, shoulda, coulda

 

Lol... and they had to rely on FGs. That offense is terrible!! Lol!!!

 

Christian Gonzalez was a man among boys for N.E.....
Unfortunately form him, the entire Seattle defense matched him

 

Well I can't argue with it. I'm sure for casual fans it was. That's the whole reason the NFL changed so many rules, and fantasy football was made . So to bring in more of the casual fans.

 

I Love it.

 

Not sure He should have won that one. He'll Seattle could have won by just kicking field goals.
Imagine this, if it had been a Mister analytics Offense HC, they would not have taken all those field goals, and the game would have been in reach for the Pats.

 

We agree then.


Kubiak Offense's stem from the Shanahan tree. Shanahan Offense's do need a special type of Running Back to fully deploy their Offenses. Now, Klint is more flexible than the traditional Offense that Mike Shanahan used back in the day but many of the same core principles remain; Wide Zone Blocking on the perimeter attacking the MOF and most of all, using the run to set up the PA.


I don't think anyone on here, myself included, is stating that JSN is merely a product of the system. He could have thrived in any Offense. However, for JSN to have such a season, it takes two to tango. One is Sam Darnold and the other in the Rushing Attack. Kenneth Walker III being fully healthy allowed both Sam and JSN to rip apart defenses thanks in part to teams actively attempting to take away the Running Game.


Long story short?! JSN gets the headlines but KHIII is the engine. Without him?! Seattle likely still wins but that Defense would have to have done a bit more.

 

I was merely talking about KH III's abilities as a runner. Even coming out of College, KH III was spotty at best as a pass protector. Despite this, dude was both powerful and shifty coming out of Michigan State.

 

Wow, talked to maybe 50 people during the day and only 3-4 made it to halftime. These were older folks who didn't give a crap about either team.

 

Don't ever do that again.
