now have one of if not the most crowded running back rooms in the NFL. It features Chris Carson, who’s rushed for over 1,100 yards in his career twice and has averaged 4.6 yards per carry throughout his tenure with the Seahawks. It also has former first-round pick Rashaad Penny who despite only having 1,572 career rushing yards, 749 of which came last season, has averaged 5.6 yards per carry over the course of his career.
Seattle also potentially has a bit more motivation to go this route with Penny for two additional reasons: the first being he’s in another contract year, and as we have seen multiple teams do with running backs with a year on their deal left, they might simply run him into the ground and then let him walk in free agency.
Despite entering the final year of his contract, it is really difficult to envision Seattle running Carson into the ground with just how severe of an injury he is coming off of. A cervical neck strain that requires surgery is a very serious injury with there being some initial fear that it could be a career ending injury. Limiting him to around 100 rushes would also allow him to keep some more burst throughout the season.
A 150-carry season in 2022 would only give him 430 career carries, which is a rather miniscule number for a player to have in his first five seasons — although much of this is due to injuries. For comparison’s sake,running back David Montgomery who is the same height and only four pounds heavier than Penny already has 714 career carries through his first three seasons.
Again, all of this is predicated on the health of all three running backs, particularly Carson and his uncertain future in the league.
You forgot the option where the team outright cuts Carson with a failed physical designation. It would be a crappy way to end at least his Seahawks career if not his entire career, but you even mention they fear it could be a career ender.
You say crowded (wrong), I say flexibility and depth for the first time in years (right)
One thing is for sure, once the season starts and injuries take their tole, the crowd thins considers.
You forgot about Josh Johnson 💪
Yo you forgot about Homer and DJ Dallas!!!
