C.J. Prosise: found those dark creases & turned the corner

They are still talking about C.J.s game versus the Patriots. Sounds like they believe the running game has found itself and is on the rise.

Seahawks coaches use the phrase "dark creases" to describe how running backs must trust that a lane exists even if it might not look that way immediately. Assistant head coach/offensive line Tom Cable raved about the way Prosise did that in his first career start.

I think the Hawks need to be careful how much they use him between the tackles. Hoping Rawls gets back up to speed soon to keep dents out of our rookie.

Not sure i agree with this. Prosise measured out at the combine at 6' and 220lbs. Not a small guy. He's a little bit taller than what we are used to seeing from our backs so he carries his weight differently but its not like the guy is 5'9" 195.

For some reason, people think CJ is a small guy, he's not, he's big, probably next to our FB the biggest back we have.

You have to admit, on TV he looks small.

I really don't want him being the bell cow. His hands, moves and quickness need to be exploited with passes in open spaces.

Make no mistake, the healthier RW get's and the more he shows it to opposing teams the better our run game will get.

and he isn't afraid of contact



Just like his homie

Not to me he doesn't. Tyler Lockett looks small - Paul Richardson looks small (and slight). CJ doesn't look that small to me - he's juts not the fire hydrant we are used to seeing from our backs.

He's not as thick in his upper body and arms as most guys at his position. Hard to tell if it's just his build or if he hasn't had sufficient upper body work in the gym.

He wears small shoulder pads so he can raise his arms to catch a tall pass without hindrance. Therefore he appears smaller across the shoulders.

Remember how big Turbin looked?

AP is listed at 6'1" and 217 lbs. other than the knee injury, he's held up OK.

Note, I'm not saying Prosise will have AP's career—just comparing their size. CJ isn't a tiny guy.

This right here. AP is about the same size but he wears bigger pads because he seeks contact and I think he has caught more than 30 passes only once during his career.
