Pope got hurt after just 2 runs, and then Rawls got "banged up" and thats why Boykin was in as RB in the 4th.
So we went from "man look at this young stable of RB's!" to "where the fuck is Michael and Spiller???"
Collins will get PT this week, obviously. Rawls will rest most of the week. Now we need to go pickup another RB or promote someone...and i dont know who that would even be.

Lol Seahawks probably on the phone with Michael's agent right now like, "yeah so like, wanna come back to Seattle?" knowing they would just cut him again once everyone is healthy.
They'll probably pick up two bum free agents, idk maybe there are some practice squad guys they can snatch up. Man I wish they never got rid of Turbin, I always thought he was an excellent and reliable back up. Him and Rawls would have been a great combo while they have these young guys grow.

How about that o-line? Against what was the #1 defense going into the game.
For the First Time this Season, Offensive Line Gives up zero sack yards. There was only one sack on the day, and it was for no gain.

Obviously helps that Russ is healthy and can scramble out of collapsed pockets, but still, o-line did their job against a top defense and that really hasn't happened this year prior to this game.

The line looked amazingly solid all things considered. I'm pretty impressed with Fant, for not starting since fucking PeeWee....

There was an article on PFF about why the rest of the league should fear the Hawks in terms of getting to the SB. One of the reason? The OL is awful. Weird...right? But the idea is that despite how bad they are, and our record...the rest of the league better hope we NEVER get the OL going otherwise we will be near unstoppable...
Without question they would dominate.
Just think about how many stars are on this team and top five in the league at their position. Russell Wilson. Earl Thomas. Richard Sherman. Kam Chancellor. Bobby Wagner. Michael Bennett. Cliff Avril. Jimmy Graham. Doug Baldwin. John Ryan. Steven Hauschka.
That's 11 guys who are top five in the NFL at their position, 12 if you include KJ Wright! All on the same team!
Sometimes we, or at least this is true for me, we get caught up in the games and forget/take for granted just how talented this team is. The amount of stars and top players is unheard of, at least it is for five years straight. Typically a team like this will last one to two seasons before they all get big contracts elsewhere. You don't see this happen often if ever in the modern era. And what's great about it is most all these guys are home grown players, guys we draft, with exception to Graham and the d-lineman who you absolutely have to figure out in free agency these days because they are so valuable in the draft. I haven't loved a teams roster like this since the Lovie Smith Bears, and it was really only on the defense they were loaded and mediocre guys on offense.
This is by far the most well balanced team in the NFL and the only weakness they have is the offensive line, they've had to sacrifice somewhere with the amount of stars on this team, so yeah, without question they would be unstoppable if they actually had a great o-line.

That makes it so much better. It's not like we had to draft a hall of fame legend to win a Superbowl like Payton Manning or worth like that. It's a core group of guys, many high draft picks or undrafted guys, Sherman 5th round, Kam Chancellor 5th round, Wilson 3rd round, Baldwin undrafted, even they guys they did trade for, with exception to Graham, seemed under valued - Marshawn Lynch was struggling as a Bill and hadn't really proven anything as a pro when they traded for him, Avril and Bennet seemed like they weren't being appreciated as much as they should and now Avril leads the NFL in sacks and Bennett is considered one of, if not the best player at his position. Crazy.
Anyways, this all stuff we all know but fuck it, it's good to remind ourselves this is a dope squad.

Saw a tweet to an article from PFF this morning saying that Rees Odhiambo graded out extremely well and has big time potential.

And then there is this from PFF "worst performances of the week":
2. Garry Gilliam, T, Seattle Seahawks
Competing weekly in the competition of which Seahawks lineman can surrender the most pressure, Gilliam this week emerged victorious in Seattle’s win over Philadelphia, with six pressures to his name. Gilliam also had a false start penalty in the game and was beaten a further four times off the line but the ball came out before it could become pressure. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he was poor in the run game, surrendering a tackle to Bennie Logan and Fletcher Cox, and being squeezed into the running lane on more than one occasion.
