You think that guy getting 7ypc because he looks so wild when he runs. Then you realize it was a 1 yard gain. He is by far and away our worst RB. Doesn't block well, cant catch, fumbles. Yet everyone gives him a break over Lacy because of 1/2 a year of success 2 years ago with us. Time to move on. Rawls is bad yet nobody calls it out. He needs to be inactive.

Neighbor used to have a dog and kept him penned up all day. He'd let him out when he got home and that dog would run crazy for an hour and still not be done. Feels like that's what's happening to Rawls. There may be some wisdom in making one or the other the starter. If he would calm down and trust in his physical ability he might do just fine.
Of the two dropped passes the screen last game was all on Rawls, the easy TD this week was on Russ for overthrowing his receiver. That one made me use a bad word.

It ain't Lacy
It aint Rawls.
A Collins has proven that every game he plays.
Aros":1r7i5zb4 said:Please. Lacey is as ineffective as Rawls. Mass doesn't necessarily equal inertia or kinetic energy. He lacks instinct and vision and the opponents know it. Something, by the way, Beast Mode had in SPADES.

How's that Eddie Lacy jersey treating you?
Some posters never miss an opportunity to take a swipe at Russell Wilson no matter how well he performs. I’m starting to wonder if Russell’s ex wife is a poster here.Seafan":24h19h0r said:The RBs on the team aren't the major problem. Teams are jail breaking against the run because Bev/RW aren't showing any threat.

It worked his rookie year but you can't sustain that lack of patience. I am not ready to give up on him just yet but he needs to calm the heck down and focus. Otherwise he is just dead weight.
Oh and btw? #cutlacey
I would cut Rawls and give Lacy all those carries. At least he can block/catch/not fumble. Three things Rawls cant do. Please don't highjack the cut rawls thread with lacy talk.
