Nowak, Heflet, Pierre-Louis, Patrick Lewis, Tharold Simon, Paul Richardson, Kasen Williams,...
I think CMike holds off the rookie drafted in the 7th round and I view Prosise as more of a hybrid WR/RB, since he played WR in college before switching to RB.
Think Lawler winds up on the final 63 and Kevin Smith or Kasen Williams somehow manage to outwork the rookie on special teams so one of them stays on the roster.
Key to the roster is that we are not going to be picking up street free agents every time Jordan Hiill sneezes or plays more than 25 snaps in a game or we lose interior push inside on the DLine. I think Clemons and Browner are locks to make the roster for chemistry purposes and they have a point to prove to the Front Office and won't let their teammates down.
Remember folks, almost all of Russell Wilson's first 4 years of an NFL QB has been with Marshawn Lynch as a staple of the offense.....that doesn't mean much until to take into account how drastically different the offense looked once Lynch didn't play last year. Once we decided to go to a passing offense and leaned on Rawls, it was clear that once Rawls went down, we didn't have a reliable outlet to catch passes out of the backfield or run the ball with the entire playbook.
Signing Fred Jackson last year to help become that dumpoff outlet will be absorbed by Prosise and Rawls, who I think will play more snaps together on the field at the same time to create isolation mismatches on shorter throws. Jackson should have had more YAC, but just didn't have that much left in tank. If you give Prosise those same catch opportunities that JAckson had, we convert more first downs with safer passes for Russell to complete.
On defense, I don't see anyway we aren't in the Top 4-5 in rush defense and QB pressures now....we have interior rush and ability to get to the QB inside again. The key to the whole defense in finding out whether we have enough depth to replace Bruce Irvin at LEO and finding out whether Lawler can catch punts or return kicks.....In order for Seattle to win big, we need a healthy Tyler Lockett for all 16 games and need Lawler to step up as that bigger WR.
