Good post. Thanks for sharing this. Warming up to sitting Sharc for Rawls now even if Sharc plays. Rawls is elusive and can catch passes so he could have a similar game to the Sharc game vs Pit. Got my Under-Rawls on Baby.

Please stop with the puns!
If you want to step down to a rung that low on the comedy ladder, how about a knock-knock joke?
Or a limerick?

hmm, I have Gurley, so if they go off this week, I'll change my team to "Gurley has big brass Rawls"

Ballz to the Rawls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_3TlrZLpQ0 (nice victory song after this week) It almost sounds like he's chanting "Rawls"

When I was watching film on this guy's past performances I thought I saw him smiling a few times during his runs, but its tough to see with the mouthpiece and helmet on to tell for sure. I just wrote it off as my imagination. I mean I've heard of guys running angry before, but Cam is the only guy I noticed who actually smiles when he runs during a play, clearly enjoying himself.
Then I saw this: http://screencast.com/t/1uYXuJ4h1 He's clearly enjoying himself out there, not really a Cam smile but more of a huge grin behind that mouthpiece, not just a job so he's having fun out there. That's one of the key signs of success is loving your job!

There once was a backup named Rawls
Got his shot ‘cause Lynch hurt his balls
He toted the rock
And ran out the clock
Won my league with a back named Rawls

Rawls was limited today in practice .. Knee

The beat writers in Seattle haven't said a thing about injury so hopefully it's just a limiting use now since he's the guy.
In the game I remember him getting hit from behind and his knees got drilled into the ground. He came up a bit gimpy and left the game but was back out after taking a series off IIRC.

Being limited in a Wednesday practice is essentially a non-issue.

Big difference between "potential top 5" and actual/proven top 5. But I'm not moving him for McFadden or a second either
32 Counter Pass

I wish I owned him in more leagues. Has the opportunity to be beast.
Short Corner

PPR redraft, was offered Jefferey plus Diggs. I'm hurting at WR.
Kwai Chang Caine

I don't think I could do that with Jeffrey constantly in and out. Diggs has cooled off too. Unless you have too many RBs to start, no way I trade him for that offer.

No, you aren't the only one. Think about Lynch's cumulative performance over the 3 previous seasons. Then realize that he did that while older and with more mileage than Rawls has. That is the potential for Rawls, and that is most definitely a top 8 dynasty RB.renesauz said:

As ourmanflint pointed out a couple days ago, Im not so sure how tested or tough the PIT run D really is. They've faced very few good RBs or talented running teams this year. Those that they have played - Lewis, Forsett, West, Latavius - have all had success. Others have still have a solid YPC. Really the only game that impressed me was holding Chris Johnson to 14/40 but Palmer tore them up.
As a Steelers fan Im worried about Rawls ripping us a new one. Im starting Rawls with confidence everywhere I have him.

Best offer I have gotten is a single 1st: Mid-range likely in the 5-8 spot based on their record right now. Rest of the offers have been very poor.

Optimism? Smoke screen? Motivation for Rawls to play like he's playing for a job in the future?
I've seen 4 weeks min for a return but that's under optimal conditions, which I doubt we'll see here.

Part of the reason he didn't end with another 100+ yard game was certainly the game situation and Seattle throwing a lot more, but part of it was also due to their FB--Tukuafu--getting a concussion and we didn't have another FB Rawls has played with. Last year's FB was Derrick Coleman until he was injured and he's still on the roster (despite some off-field transgressions) so I would expect if Tukuafu can't come back Coleman will step up and be effective.

How do you think Rawls stacks up against the Vikings defense?
I know he's going to get the volume, but his lack of usage in the passing game makes him somewhat TD-dependent.
Trying to decide among him, Ingram, CJA, Cobb and Watkins for two PPR flex positions.

Saw some numbers from Vikings D that were pretty solid. They have gotten gashed by a few backs though - Carlos Hyde, Todd Gurley, Lacy.
From a volume / chances perspective though I'd probably still have him in one of your spots.
Long Ball Larry
Footballguy
Coleman did ok as well. I think Freeman would have gotten even more. Coleman ran himself into a few tackles, I would say, as is his wont.
Jack White
Footballguy
Yeah, I heard someone on the CH podcast say that Coleman turned in the worst 110-yard game one could imagine.

So we feeling good rolling him out? It's either him or Little Dougie Martin for me. Want to start Rawls.
Kwai Chang Caine

I could play hill over him. That sounds like madness but I am worried about playing Minn at their home.
Then again, he does pass the eye test no? This has killed me before. I sat Langford against the Rams based on matchup even though my eyes told me the kid "had it!"
Jack White

I think I'm rolling with Rawls. Guaranteed massive workload. Plus, the Vikings are especially stingy against the pass. The smells like a close, relatively low-scoring, run-and-play-defense type of game.

Good run but then put it on the turf. Not the best start.

Great TD run. Cutback and spin.

I assume he had a negative carry.
CBS ticker was showing 99 like a half-hour ago. I think that MFL just caught up.

Rawls is not shifty in the "traditional" sense, but he is kind of craft with his body control and he can get extra yards where they don't seem to be there.
Long Ball Larry
Footballguy
NOt totally sure here. Fox and ESPN still say 101. LAst 2 plays of the game were Tarvaris JAckson for -1 yard each.

He's churned out two very good performances against stout rushing defenses. He draws another "tough" match-up vs. BAL next week but L. Miller ran all over them today. Then he gets CLE in week 15 and a reeling STL rush defense in week 16. He's still looking like a huge playoff asset.
