Christine Michael only played 52% of snaps against the Saints, and the Seahawks seemed to want to throw and throw and throw, which made no sense to me considering Wilson was hobbled and the Saints run defense is just as bad (if not worse) than their pass D. Looks like Rawls is definitely out for Week 9 so you would think I got one more game out of him, but the lack of playing time concerns me.
With the Byes I can't pick up Rawls this week. Just have to cross my fingers I guess. And I need Michael to do well since David Johnson is on bye week 9.

“I think the thing that helped us be successful in the past was we extended runs,’’ he [RB coach Sherman Smith] said. “We had Beast Mode (now-retired Marshawn Lynch), we had Thomas Rawls breaking tackles. So now we are doing a good job of getting what’s there but I think there are more yards there to be had.’’
Asked how that can change during the season, Smith said “it becomes a mentality. It’s got to be mental. Guys just got to say ‘I’ve got to be more physical, more aggressive.’’
