RB Christine Michael starter on Seattle Seahawks depth chart

“He had a great last few weeks”, said coach Pete Carroll.

What a odd situation it must be for Seattle fans given how solid the running back position has been the last couple years with Marshawn Lynch.

Seahawks reporter Sheil Kapadia believes Thomas Rawls (ankle) could see more work in the season opener if he “feels good physically” early in the game. Graham was listed as questionable throughout the week but has been a full participant in practice throughout the week. “We want to make sure we take care of him”. Rawls was able to return late in camp and appeared in the final exhibition, carrying the ball two times for 7 yards. But he’s done everything we could ask of him. Michael returned to the Seahawks after Rawls’ injury. If he continues to play as he did in the preseason then the Seahawks will have to find ways to get him out there.

The Seahawks have been very happy with Michael, who is playing for the Seahawks for the second time in his career.

Running against Miami might have become a little more hard this week for Seattle.

Another year together should help both players, and they’ll at least get started from the first game of the 2016 season. The power rankings were no doubt influenced by the preseason performance of Christine Michael, who averaged 6.0 yards per carry on 26 attempts.
