Zach Charbonet is a bruiser, use him!

I see both Walker and Charbonnet get gobbled up in the backfield quite often. I think Walker would have scored on that last TD run by Charbs if he had gotten the carry.

Walker is faster, stronger, and more athletic. He is better at breaking tackles. Charbs is better at leaning forward for that extra yard, whereas Walker's forward progress seems to stop as soon as there's contact unless he can break the tackle which as I said he is good at.

Both Seahawks RBs have significant limitations. It's not a position of strength for the Seahawks. Charbonnet isn't a bruiser. He's a receiver/blocker for long yardage, non-rushing situations.

My only problem with Charbs is he seem to need a bit of space to get up to speed and then he can really pound the ball. If there isnt a big hole for him or he isnt in space where he can accelerate to top speed he seems to go down fairly easy as wee have seen in games this year.
I think how quickly a RB gets to top speed is more important than what their too speed actually is. Stop/Start quickness is deadly. Without good vision none of it matters

Charbs is a plodder. He has to be clean to the LOS or he's done. If he goes laterally, he's done. Walker is a Tasmanian Devil. Sometimes he spins off into nowhere
