Rawls?

[HaroldSeattle]

does spiller have anything left? so much wasted talent right there.

IDK, guess we'll see. Just temporary IMO until Prosise gets healthy.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

That sounds like they think Prosise isn't ready, because Spiller is just a pass catcher RB.

Just another body to fill but could turn out ok.

Not sure but he could be serviceable 3rd down back if he has anything left.

 

[Anointed One]

Not expecting much from him... Maybe a decent Kick returner if he's ever given the opportunity to run back a kick...

 

[MrS]

Nobody is upset by you. More fascinated I think. The ultimate glass half empty guy.

Fascination? Oh yes, the sensation one gets before they get a bad case of defensive knee jerking

If that's irony, it's damned funny. Props.

I guess we will just see moving forward with Rawls out I am just not the biggest fan of Michaels I really don't think that highly of him. I hope I am wrong and you are right that would be great for the hawks

Well, it's definitely clear you're not a fan of Michael. Nothing really for me to be "right" about here -- not making any claims that he's going to be a pro bowler or anything. Just not sure I agree with your assessment that he's a 3.5 ypc guy who is only successful on draw plays. But yes, we'll see I guess.

My gut gives me little hope for Rawls. I hate to say it but his health is a major question with me.
Next year we hunt for more RB's.

 

[Anointed One]

I never bought into Rawls as our future back... Looking for our RB of the future is definitely a priority... Who knows, CM could be that guy... I still like the prospect, Prosise...

 

[HaroldSeattle]

I liked what I saw from Rawls last year, but the injuries are making me feel that he can't or may not hold up to the punishment. In the past I wasn't a fan of CM but he's has stepped up his game, now if he can continue that then I'm good with him.

Why?

 

[Anointed One]

Why?

Not a very big sample size...

The thing about the RB position is that you can more or less find a new "RB of the future" every year. Continuity at the position is not as critical as it is with some others, and it's not like it takes 3 years to develop a ball carrier. Most of the time, you know if they are good or not fairly soon after you plug them in.

So true, excellent RB's can be had in the later rounds. Top priority are both lines for starters and depth.

Rawls might be snake bitten this season with his injuries but I think give him the full off season to recover I think he can be a very good back next year. We all saw what he could do when he took over for Lynch and the o-line was a disaster.

Lou was a great singer, loved his star Star Spangled Banner for the 05 world series.
O the RB?
Never mind

And outside of a career ender, the worst case this year with Rawls is what -- he doesn't play any kind of significant role and hits the reset button next season? We'll still have Michael, Collins & Prosise, which is a pretty young stable of backs. Rawls will be in just his 3rd year with really low miles. It's not like we'll need to once again use 3 picks at the position in the next draft. This thing with Rawls may even work to our advantage this season. Let him take it easy and get back to 100% while we ride CM as hard as he can go, then we have a fresh Rawls for the back stretch.

Agreed! RB is the least of our worries next draft.

Interesting numbers at the 1/4 mark:

Russell Wilson - 12-31-0
Thomas Rawls - 19-25-0
Alex Collins - 7-13-0
Terrance Magee - 3-12-0
C.J. Spiller - 2-12-0
Trevone Boykin - 1-0-0
C.J. Prosise - 1(-2)-0
Doug Baldwin - 1-(-4)-0

Seahawks not named Christine Michael have 46 carries for 87 yards (not including end of half/game kneels). Wilson, Rawls and Prosise need to get healthy, and all of them need to perform better - 1.9 ypc is just awful.
