    The only positive I can say for Collins tonight is that he had 92 more yards than Rawls or Prosise. The fumble was inexcusable, don't know what he was thinking carrying the ball like that, that's not him.

    I think we got a good evaluation of what Boykin can do passing last week, no doubt he'll get more work tonight. But I'd be more than happy to see us lose this game tonight because we run too much. It'd be OK with me. Just get 40-50 carries for the backs. :) We need solid answers, we probably...

    Rawls (ankle) Out vs. Vikings

    Seeking out contact too much is part of the problem. Mainly, it's when you run with reckless abandon, you are pushing every joint, ligament, tendon, muscle to the max. Whatever quickness and speed Rawls has, it's pegged out at 100% all the time. Eventually he'll over extend something, zig when...

    He had a chance to make an incredible circus catch is more like it, and he didn't drop it, he barely got two fingers on it, be fair.

    We need good answers on 3 RBs tonight IMO, Lacy, Prosise and Collins. I know people want to see more of Carson and Davis, they got good chances last week, and can again next week, but we have more invested in the 3 above and I don't think we really know what we have with all 3. I hope there...

    Rawls (ankle) Out vs. Vikings

    wow, like you copy and pasted from my thoughts on that. I call it running with reckless abandon, it can look great and be effective in spurts, you just can't do it for long. You have to be Earl Cambell to do it consistently, and it's still a style that didn't serve EC well in the long run...

    Rawls (ankle) Out vs. Vikings

    100% agree. Offset the dual threat of Wilson with a power run game, and you have an offense that can't be stopped, You have a SB winning kind of offense.

    Rawls (ankle) Out vs. Vikings

    I would say most athletes in general can't hold up to playing RB in the NFL very long, it's a very rare breed who can go 6 years or more and stay productive. It's a pretty rare breed who can go for long at all. I've seen how awesome Rawls and Prosise can be, but I formed the opinion of them...

    Ain't over til it's over I guess, looking forward to Friday's game. http://www.seahawks.com/news/2017/08/16 ... ining-camp

    Thanks for that info Seymour, maybe that means Collins will get the kind of carries this Friday that Carson got last week. Draft position does seem to matter, certainly with Prosise, who seems to be safe, though not asked to show much at all, a high ceiling seems to be his biggest...

    Carson flattened a DE on his 2nd TD

    Possible, but you'd think if they were thinking trade, they would try to showcase what he can do to increase value, that didn't seem to be the case in PS 1. That leads to the thought maybe they DON'T want to showcase what he could do, in hopes of sneaking him on the PS. Who knows?, but it...

    No offense bro, but this hype is a little Pope-ish in nature. It wouldn't look nearly as impressive from an end zone view, The DE was sliding over and had zero forward momentum, any RB in the league should have been able to get a yard past him after that collision. Carson was 100% N-S, the DE...

    I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, right now I just want to see us keep the best 4 or 5 RBs, whether that includes Collins or not. I think there is still time for Collins to show he is among the top 4, but something has to change. I've really come to think it's a matter of how Collins is...

    Thanks for the correction, I had a nagging feeling Carson did have another short yardage carry somewhere, it was his 2nd TD, duh. I've made the same point about what multiple short yardage attempts does to an average. Collins had 4 short yardage attempts and averaged a yard a carry, Carson had...

    Carson flattened a DE on his 2nd TD

    It was a nice play, but I'd strongly disagree Carson "completely overpowered" a DE. Go look at it again, the DE is moving almost completely laterally upon contact. How do you think they'd do in one on one lineman drills, when both have their feet set and are moving forward? Think Carson would...

    Carson flattened a DE on his 2nd TD

    yep, every back we have except maybe Rawls and Prosise would have done the same on that play. not to dreail the hype train, Carson does seem legit.

    Yea, I think the other poster misunderstood my comparison. Lacy lost the weight battle in GB, he might end up losing it here. or for some other reason may prove to be not as effective, may have a hard time with attitude, losing out to Rawls. Regardless, it's not inconceivable we could part ways...

    One of my working theories is they were testing AC at power back in case they want to part ways with Lacy, and were testing him as a 3rd down back in case Prosise keeps getting hurt. Those were the two jobs he was handed in game one.

    Risers and Fallers from Preseason Game #1

    If Carson looks better than Collins with the same opportunities, then I will see it as well, and will have nothing to say. Their opportunities couldn't have been more different however, as I showed statistically in the RB thread. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=137705 I can only assume Davis and Carson...

    My worry with Collins isn't what he did with his opportunities, the worry is why did he get the opportunities he did, after Carson and even Davis? Here is a breakdown of every goal line and short yardage run by RBs. So in short yardage situations where the defense was expecting run, Alex...
