Captain Obvious here: He's just gotta stay healthy.

Hawks46 · Jun 19, 2017

It actually shouldn't be too difficult.

He runs way to upright and takes too many solid, square shots. I'm sure this is obvious to the coaching staff and shouldn't be that hard to fix.

Ozzy · Jun 19, 2017

I've thought since the draft he has a chance to be special. Still think he's going to be.

Sgt. Largent · Jun 19, 2017

Prosise is in the same boat as Rawls, upside and "sky's the limit" means nothing if you can't stay on the field.

I think it was Holmgren who said the #1 most important trait of a football player is availability. Nothing frustrates a team and coach more than a player who keeps getting hurt.

The reason Lacy is here is because the two backs we counted on last year, Rawls and Procise couldn't play consistently.

Three major injuries in nine months are very concerning.

He's bigger than I thought based on the eye test from last years short stint. 6' 220 lbs. Part of that was based on the injuries which led me to believe he was small or delicate or frail or fragile or...but in reality he's a big guy. Hope we get to see him for 19 games next year.

Derrick Fenner and Chris Warren also had a upright running style.

vin.couve12 · Jun 19, 2017

He's now listed as 6'1 225 on .com.

There are a bunch of changes to player weights actually.

After watching Prosise in the Pats game last season and seeing how he took over that game I am psyched to see more of him and do believe as otherwise stated here he could just be a giant mismatch for DBs or some OLBs.

It was disconcerting how nicked up he got w/o much contact though, and I wondered at times did he come to team hurt already? I hope after last season he's learned something about his pro level physical training and he's figured out how to stay healthy for a season b/c he certainly was diappointing in that regard last season.

I too am very interested to see him play this season and hope he can just stay healthy.

He came in slightly injured, Pete said he was never near 100% last year. This year he's completely healthy and 100% it could get ridiculous if he stays healthy.

I've seen this before. this guy will never live up to his potential because he will never be healthy. I'd love to be wrong but i wont be.

chris98251 · Jun 19, 2017

Reggie Bush was very good his Rookie year and then got used to much and the injuries basically shut down a lot of his career, not durable enough to play every down.

Bush has ended up having a long career though, so there's still much hope Prosise can do the same. He certainly has all the tools and at minimum, can be our 3rd down back for the near future and mix in a few carries a game. Fewer touches, but used optimally could prolong his career.

Wow, after only one season? What a pessimistic viewpoint, Think I'll wait until after he has another season written off. Then I 'd start to suspect you could be right. With injuries, I don't see any reason to believe that this player has had an injury problem that is anything more than a rookie's slow adjustment to the greater physicality of the NFL.

I remain excited to watch him play this season and think we might be very pleased by his performance. Many rookies have slow starts as they adjust to getting their bodies ready to play pro ball. Do agree Prosise has a very high potential upper limit.

TeamoftheCentury · Jun 20, 2017

There are a lot of players, new and established, that have the talent to make this team better through their contributions on the field. Calvin Jr. is at the top of that list and could be on another level in terms of impact.

SoulfishHawk · Jun 20, 2017

Wow, some serious Debbie downer stuff going on. He has played ONE season and some are giving up on him already :roll:

Procise plays a position that is generically fraught with injury risk. There's a reason RBs burn out by age 30 if they're blessed with luck re: Injuries.

He will almost assuredly get hurt sometime in the future. Like all RBs. It's likely to happen. Doesn't mean we can't enjoy his contributions in the next 4 years. Nor does it qualify what we should expect or be excited about in terms of that potential.

I disagree.

Prosise was drafted to be a change of pace 3rd down dynamic back.............so the main reason he was hurt is he was thrust into a 20 carry a game every down back.

If either Rawls or Lacy can stay healthy so that Prosise can settle into that role, we should be good to go.

Exactly ^; With all the head on collisions these guys go thru, it's a rarity to have one feature Back that DOESNT sustain an injury, that's why I believe in the "RB By Committee" approach, that way you're not exposing any one player to an ongoing and unnecessary pounding.
