Seahawks Who is at Running Back?

Well it is interesting now after a few weeks ago. We were all wondering if the offensive line would get their act together and now that they have we now are wondering who will run behind them.

Last Sunday the Seahawks lost Thomas Rawls to injury in the first quarter and we now know he is out for the season. Also, we know that Marshawn Lynch is not ready to return yet and DuJuan Harris who did most of the carries after Rawls left the game was released by the Seahawks. Not sure why Harris was released except it could be that he fumbled on the five yard line. The Seahawks have brought back running back Bryce Brown who has been on and off the practice squad several times already this season along with Christian Michael who the Seahawks traded to the Dallas Cowboys before the start of the season and then was released by the Cowboys a few weeks ago. His most recent football was being on the practice squad of the Washington Redskins who released him just before the Seahawks signed him up again.

Right now we expect Bryce Brown to do the most carries and we are not sure whether Christian Michael will be activated for the upcoming game on Sunday again the Cleveland Browns. The only true thing we know for sure is that Fred Jackson will be the running back on third downs. If Michael is activated this Sunday I am sure that he and Brown will share the load. Depending on their success we could see fullback Derrick Coleman at running back as well. I would like to see Coleman running some at running back; however, I don’t want to see another running back injured either.

Since the air attack of Russell Wilson has been really good the last four games I am sure we will see as much passing as running though Pete Carroll prefers mixing things up and have at least a few more carries than pass attempts. If the offensive line can open the holes like they did for Rawls before he was injured then the running backs should have a very good day as long as they can keep their hands on the ball and not fumble. We are all lucky here in Seahawk land that they are playing the Browns this week in Seattle. Who knows the defense could score more points than the offense so we could all be relaxed. Anyway, things will be interesting on the offense side of the ball. We can hope the Seahawks can win the toss of the coin at the beginning so the defense will start right off. Remember the Seahawks always take defense first when they win the coin toss.

We hope that you return soon Marshawn we do really need you regardless what happens against the Browns. We just hope that we will not see any other new running backs against the Rams on the 27^th. Regardless of the results please stay healthy. Go Seahawks!
