It’s no secret that the Seahawks running game was a major factor in last season’s performance. Injuries and inconsistency were easily the biggest culprit here. For injuries, we present the two main holdovers from 2016, Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise. They only played in 15 games combined last season. For inconsistency, we present the Seahawks leading rusher for the 2016, Christine Michael. Michael was released in November, just as soon as C.J. Prosise showed he could carry the load.
Then of course C.J. got hurt. Luckily Rawls was ready, but then Rawls got hurt and…well, that’s why Eddie Lacy is on the team now.
