swnmkr12 70 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Every pre-season I always see a rookie or two that just pass the eye test, and I predict that player will be starting at some point that season if not right out the gate. Past examples are Arian Foster, Derek Carr, Russell Wilson, Doug Martin. Chris Carson is that guy this pre-season. I also see similar potential with Matt Breida in SF (No knock on Hyde, both backs will play well in this system). The talent is just too obvious when watching him play (Carson) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When Rawls was a stud and then last year Prosise was extremely valuable pre-injury? Yeah, hilarious. Rawls wasnt a stud, he had a handful of good games before injuries derailed him. Rawls WAS a potential stud, Same with prosise, he has potential but he has to play healthy to realize it. Lets not get carried away with handing out titles like stud before players earn them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Seahawks’ running back situation still has a lot of question marks, but one thing is for certain — Eddie Lacy isn’t doing enough to secure a role. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/2017/8/19/16172748/eddie-lacy-seahawks-rbs-chris-carson-thomas-rawls That's just the first article when I googled Lacy. Also look at his last 4 updates on his Rotoworld profile. None of it is good. I think this backfield is a roulette wheel until someone gets hot in the regular season. But i wouldnt put my money on that being Lacy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ill take the latter and Lacys history of always being productive whilr healthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CORTEz 1,119 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 12 hours ago, DerrickHenrysCleats said: Lacy is the most talented RB on the roster and your reason for him not to be successful is "Lacy is done (ala Trich)" Classic. Most talented? Not even remotely close. Rawls healthy is > than Lacy. Prosise healthy is > Lacy, and even though the sample size is small, Carson easily looks like he could be a running back of the future (if not this year then maybe in the next 1-2 years) Prediction Eddie Lacy Stats by EOS: 576 rushing yards, 5 TD.

dorsett33 128 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Russell Wilson speaking about Chris Carson: He can do it all," Wilson said postgame. "He can run. Obviously he can catch the ball really well. He's tough-minded, always seems to do the right thing. For a rookie, he's been really remarkable. I think he's going to have a remarkable year, too."

burninglegs 10,836 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Come on in guys. The water is warm and pleasant. Got room for a few more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burninglegs 10,836 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 For late round rookie RB lotto ticket flier, how do you guys think Carson fits in with Kamara and Mack in terms of early season workload and then potential to get more work? Kamara should already have a role from week 1 with his satellite back role. Explosive player and if Ingram or AP goes down, increase in work load in a high power offense. Mack, does he have the passing downs role locked down? Gore has been healthy for such a long time, but father time eventually catches up to everyone. Especially RBs. Each season is a season closer to him hitting the cliff. Without Luck in the lineup, could be used in a lot of dumpoffs and screens? Carson, looks like the best RB on the team in preseason. The o-line is back, but his explosive running style might help mitigate that? Lacy isn't a starting NFL caliber RB now. Rawls can't seem to stay healthy and the same with Prosise. Carson seems to be ok in the passing game as well. Is it basically a toss up between all three in terms of late round fliers? I think offense wise, Saints and Seahawks should put up a lot of yards and points this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wendellrott 504 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Mack has got to contend with Jones now who will push him to the # 4 RB slot Kamara's role is already set, great value in PPR if Carson continues playing like he has in preseason I'll say that he will have a chance to lead the Hawks in carries Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tenner 1,052 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Really hoping for a little nugget of news before Sunday. There are a few other lotto tickets I'm interested in. Odds are he doesn't lead the Hawks in carries week one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ingram is a fantastic receiving back, and he'll already be splitting early work with AP. I don't see why they can't keep him in on 3rd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
