The Seahawks signed Eddie Lacy this past offseason and already had Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise. None of these three were anywhere near good in 2017. Prosise cannot stay healthy. Neither can Rawls and he is ineffective when he does play. Lacy was a healthy scratch many times and terrible when he got game action.
Seventh-round pick Chris Carson was Seattle’s best running back in 2017, but only played in four games. When Carson was injured against the Colts, the Seahawks not only lost their best running back, they lost their entire running game for weeks. Carson was much better than expected, but he should have never have been expected to carry the entire running back room.
