The Seattle Seahawks have scored one touchdown on 22 drives this season and 15 points through two games. Only the Los Angeles Rams (nine points) have managed fewer.

What's gone wrong? What's fixable -- and what might not be?

Here are three thoughts after reviewing Sunday's game and looking at the numbers.

1. Russell Wilson is smartly adjusting his game.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, Wilson is releasing the ball on average in 2.33 seconds, which is ninth-fastest in the NFL. Last year, that number was 2.67 (32nd). In fact, he's never finished higher than 32nd in release time since entering the league.

One of Wilson's strengths is his ability to improvise, extend plays and find receivers downfield. But as Pete Carroll pointed out, those things have become difficult because of the high ankle sprain.

After watching all of Wilson's throws from Sunday again, I came away thinking he played a very smart game. When plays didn't materialize, he threw the ball away. When he escaped pressure, he made sure to slide rather than chance it for a few extra yards. And even with those precautions, he still was hit nine times and sacked twice.

Wilson wasn't perfect, but he is playing through an injury and adjusted his game accordingly.

Through two weeks, Wilson is averaging 6.56 yards per attempt (28th). But the Seahawks took several shots downfield last week, and likely will continue to do so going forward. On the go routes down the sideline to Tyler Lockett and Paul Richardson, Wilson gets rid of the ball quickly and still takes shots.

The team has been vague about how long the ankle injury could linger, but it seems reasonable that Wilson will be at less than full strength for the next two weeks before the Seahawks have their bye.

2. The depth on the offensive line is concerning.

Carroll said he's hopeful that Germain Ifedi can be a difference-maker when he returns from a high ankle sprain. Ifedi looked great this summer, but given that he's a rookie and will be coming off an injury, it may take him some time to get adjusted.

The two moves the Seahawks made in free agency were adding Bradley Sowell and J'Marcus Webb. Both have struggled. I suspect that when offensive-line coach Tom Cable speaks with the media this week, the only offensive lineman he'll have a positive review of will be center Justin Britt.

An injury to one starter should not wreck the operation, but that's where the Seahawks appear to be right now. Teams don't have to blitz to pressure Wilson. The Rams sent five or more rushers his way only 17.5 percent of the time. In two meetings last year, the numbers were 29.6 percent and 30.6 percent.

Defenses can commit more players to coverage and still win their one-on-one matchups against the Seahawks up front.

Ifedi is expected back some time in the next one to three weeks. But his return won't solve this problem. If the coaches felt rookies Rees Odhiambo or George Fant could provide upgrades, they'd get a shot. But for now, the plan seems to be to count on guys like Sowell, Webb and Garry Gilliam to improve.

3. The spread run game might be the team's best option.

The Seahawks tried to get physical in the first half last week and run the ball with 13 personnel (that is, one running back, three tight ends, one wide receiver). It didn't work out so well.

The numbers suggest that the run game works best when the Seahawks spread it out and get defenders out of the box.

On the season, they are averaging 4.09 yards per carry on 35 attempts with three or more wide receivers on the field. They're averaging 2.93 yards out of two- and three-tight end sets. And they've been especially bad with a fullback: 11 rushes for 0 yards.

The idea of using different personnel groupings and different looks makes sense. But given the strengths and weaknesses of the roster, and the added importance of the run game with Wilson hobbled, spreading teams out to run the ball might be the best option right now.
