Hard to believe either or anyone in that back field will have much of a run with that oline. I agree...this backfield ranks among the cloudiest in the league. I think Prosise has proven he's just not built for heavy usage...Im thinking he's a Shane Vereen at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrRazvi 12 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Coming back in week 7@NYG. (supposedly) Rawls / Lacy doing nothing, McKissic locked into pass catching role, PC has historically liked Prosise (except for the injuries) and had him as the starter not too long ago. Could make him starter again. He'll be a FA in many leagues until Kickoff tonight. IMHO, Worth a speculative end-of-bench add too see how that backfield shakes out.

Panthor 813 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 i seem to remember prosise looking great last year but he got hurt almost as fast as he got started Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog 484 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Dotson appears to be quite durable in comparison to Prosise, who couldn't even make it out of TC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Butters 586 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Well, here’s to CJ having a good game, the hype train getting started, and news of a fill in the blank sprain that will have him miss multiple weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ohio#1eaglesfan 539 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I know he is injury prone, but someone has to do something in this backfield right? Prosise is listed at 6'1 225lbs. Could he handle early down work without breaking like glass? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if I’m going to take a flyer, it’s on CJ. He has shown he has big play ability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But...as mentioned, he'd likely get injured in a game of chess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ohio#1eaglesfan 539 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have a sneaky feeling this could be Prosise's backfield if he can get and stay healthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a big if though. It’s easy to throw around the injury label, but he has earned it. I think Rawls and CJ are the two guys who could be something in this backfield. In terms of pure upside, I’d say it’s CJ. But either way it’s a crap,shoot at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seanismorris 704 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Prosise still isn’t healthy so it’s unlikely he puts up worthy numbers this week. I’m am considering adding him as a stash next week. Out of all the guys on the roster, I think the team would benefit most with Prosise getting the majority of the snaps. But I don’t necessarily think they’ll rush him out before he’s ready/heathy. Seattle is 2nd in the division behind the Rams, and they beat the Rams. I’m not a buyer of any RB on the roster except Prosise, the only question is the timing of that buy. Edited October 19, 2017 by seanismorris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hines 204 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Seattle absolutely should run mainly hurry-up from the shotgun and feature Wilson, they have an insane amount of 3 and outs that start with a useless run from a tight formation, then a pressure allowed from a tight formation and a 3rd and 8 play. Prosise is good enough to give them a run game from shotgun and catch passes but I doubt that's what they will do. he will probably see 2 carries and 3 catches this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also stashed him with the same thinking. He’s back to full practices and the Hawks’ OC has came out and said he will have a role and they see him as an every down back as long as he’s healthy.

They will have three backs active who have all seen the field. I like the optimism but just very skeptical that they will give him even a majority of the workload because they also noted their concerns of his injury history.

Definitely just an end of bench lotto ticket that could pay off, Seattle is looking for somebody to take over with Carson out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hes much more than a lotto ticket. The way that offense is playing right now he fits better than Rawls/Lacy. He should have been the number one ww add. Even without a majority of carries he’s a much better play than your Mack/Smallwood/Darkwa types. Especially PPR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But he doesn’t need the majority of the workload to be at least flex worthy. And, if he explodes this week, he becomes tradable in package deals and such. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A healthy Prosise got 14 touches over three weeks of football...his best game he caught three balls for 65yds. What have you saw from him this year that has you so excited?

He is primarily competing with Rawls and Lacy for touches. It’s not hard to imagine Prosise doing well and earning a lot of touches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The lack of touches in weeks 1 through 4 had everything to do with Carson's breakout and nothing to do with Lacy/Rawls or CJ's ability. The opportunity is there.

I don't think his usage will cross over much with the usage of Lacy and Rawls...I'd bet the staff knows he just to fragile to run inside. I think his usage will cross over more with Graham who looks to have finally established a connection with Wilson. He'll definitely have a roll...but I'd take Mack, Smallwood and Darkwa ahead of him without second guessing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carson's "success" has been overstated and blown way out of proportion....he went 6/39/0 20/93/0 11/34/0 12/42/0 with just a few catches. He didn't exactly dominate touches and kill it although people acted as if he did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I think CJ has an easier path to relevance. Why? Because Gore and Blount have had success this year. Lacy and Rawls have not. So if Prosise produces, he can carve a big role pretty quickly.
