On February 28, 2001, the Nisqually quake (6.8 on the Richter Scale) hit without warning. That quake struck without warning and was felt as far away as Sand Point Idaho … wreaking damage and havoc on the Seattle area. No one was suspecting anything like that might happen on that day.
Come this Sunday, many unsuspecting fans at Century Link Field could very well experience a similar quake in the form of one Bryce Brown.
Yesterday’s release of DuJuan Harris by the Seahawks had everyone buzzing about WHO is going to be the man carrying the rock for this team. Carroll’s announcement that he planned on keeping Fred Jackson in his current role had many of the local media pundits speculating that Derrick Coleman would be the one to get the bulk of the carries until Marshawn Lynch comes back.
While many are looking to Coleman … I personally wonder if Bryce Brown will be that guy and if this could very well be his time to shine. Why do I say that?
First of all, Bryce Brown is a player who Carroll knows really well. Back in 2009, Carroll attempted to recruit him to USC. Carroll is all about measureables and characteristics that really set players apart. One of the most important characteristics that Carroll values is something Bryce Brown has – Speed.
He runs a sub 4.4 (he's been clocked as fast as 4.32), has an excellent burst, good vision, and has talent. Coming out of high school, he was considered by some to be either the top RB in the country (or right near the top) and to be the best RB talent to come out of the state of Kansas since Barry Sanders. His college football career didn’t end up amounting to much (mainly due to issues stemming from alleged NCAA rules violations), and he entered the 2012 draft as a fairly unheralded prospect as a result. At his Pro Day, he wowed scouts, consistently running between 4.37 and 4.45 ... having a vertical of 34 inches ... and putting up 22 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. Those are fairly impressive numbers for a guy who's 6'0" and 220 pounds.
During those few times in his career he’s actually been given a chance, he has shined. During his rookie season, he started twice. Here were the results …
This Browns’ Defense the Hawks will be facing this Sunday … is absolutely ripe for the picking for someone of Brown’s talents. The Cleveland Browns come in to the Clink allowing an average of …
That dovetails with what Football Outsiders says, who has the Cleveland Browns as their 29th Ranked Run Defense (9.0%) … and their 29th Ranked Defense overall as well.
However you slice that crap pie, it adds up to a group that would be eating 2nd and 3rd helpings of the dust a back like Bryce Brown could create.
If the Seahawks give this guy 15-20 carries, I’m betting we see a similar performance to this …
