They only ran the ball 8 times last week. Prosise out snapped Michael if I'm not mistaken.
Certainly won't get those goal line looks, but he'll at the very worst be the COP back. Looked like CMike was dead to the coaching staff tonight. I would say that they wanted a good look at Prosise, but this game was important and close and Cmike was getting scraps.
The coaching staff has a preference. They would like to run the ball consistently and physically. This is related to their overall team philosophy of offense complimenting defense. They want to possess the ball longer allowing the defense to rest as much as possible. They've been very far from this as of late, but I would still expect them to lean in that direction if at all possible. This is why I keep telling people they are going to give Rawls every opportunity to return to his work load we saw last year. Michael isn't that guy. Prosise is much more likely to fill the Fred Jackson role if Rawls returns to form.
This is where I'm at. I worry about the defense being on the field too much if they can't run the ball and control the clock. The idea of a Rawls-Prosise combo sounds awesome. Perhaps the best Seattle backfield since Warner and John L. Williams*.
Twice last night I thought he took hits that he wasn't going to bounce back from quickly. Kid is brave. Wilson hung him out to dry twice, but he stuck with the ball and made receptions. I agree that long term he can't take the physical beating required with being the lead Seattle RB.
How so? He got rocked a few times and kept on ticking. Didn't look like he slowed down. Rawls, when healthy and 100% will be more of the thunder with Prosise being the lightening, but Rawls won't be the "workhorse". I could see it being a CIN type situation, with Rawls being Hill and Prosise being Gio.
It's probably just wishful thinking from a Rawls owner.
I think that's far from fact when you consider that Rawls isn't a factor in the receiving game.
Hey I was big on Prosise long before the draft and like him a lot but he isn't a 3 down back in the hawks system. Rawls will get his shot to be the guy when he's healthy.
What does "the guy" mean in this context.
Now the is the first I heard anything like that.Prosise looked a lot like Dion Lewis
Them going pass happy is incredibly unlikely in the long run if you look at how they've built the team and won in the past. Their line is so bad they might have to for this year. Don't get me wrong I like Prosise but the hawks like to play physical, run the ball and play defence. I see him more as a Riddick type player. He could be very good in that role though.
You build your team around your strengths. They may have been run dominant with Lynch, but he's gone. They proved last year what they are capable of when they let Wilson loose.
Fragile? not sure what you are watching, but Prosise's combine build of 6' 0.5" and 220lbs is pretty similar to this group (combine weight/height): Le'Veon Bell, Arian Foster, CJ Prosise, Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson. He has far less experience as a RB so he doesn't always keep his COG low, but he's not fragile.
I don't know if he is fragile but he certainly did not look like a power RB like the aformentioned, Bell, Foster and Peterson especially the way he got bounced back when he ran into the DB on that one play. I think he could be another solid play this week but going forward it could be a lot of Rawls down the stretch, especially at the goal line.
All depends on if you think they ease Rawls in. At this moment, I think they do, so it's 50/50 at worst IMO.
Csleep was drafted in the 2nd round, Trich was the 4th overall pick, DHB was a top 10 pick too.
There's so much wrong here. Maybe the Seahawks burning a 2nd Rounder on Prosise suggests they're not happy with Rawls?
You're a numbskull, Prosise has been started for one game and you ignore his best asset, his receiving.Considering you don't even know what round Prosise was drafted in, I have my doubts.
In 5 games, Prosise has 26 carries for 96 yards 3.7 YPC 0 TD
In 15 games, Rawls has 166 carries for 855 yards 5.2 YPC 4 TD
As you said, why worry about Rawls
name calling and assumptions....lol.You're a numbskull, Prosise has been started for one game and you ignore his best asset, his receiving.
He caught 7 passes, don't you know. Not going to waste anymore time arguing with you. You don't like Prosise, gotcha. I'll watch him continue to rack up points on my team.
You cherry picking those stats is scary. It's like you're blindly choosing to ignore Prosise's upside.
Maybe Prosise was drafted in the 3rd round to be the receiving back to compliment Rawls as the stronger back to carry the ball, or do teams only draft a different style player so they can completely shift they're game plan going forward? No chance it's so they can play both 50/50 I guess.
