season opener against Miami, there was a surprising hierarchy at running
back.Christine Michael was slotted ahead of Thomas Rawls.Of course, it was an
unofficial depth chart, one that coach Pete Carroll joked about being just that
on Wednesday. But it was also an affirmation that even though Rawls is expected
to be the Seahawks primary ball carrier this season, Michael has done enough
since the end of last year to earn himself a share of the time in the
backfield.As (offensive coordinator) Darrell Bevell said, `Hes had an awakening,
Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said of Michael. Hes always been one of those
guys that has always worked at his craft, always asked questions but now hes
asking the right questions. Hes matured in that regard and I couldnt be happier
for him and his progress.Carroll wasnt willing to break down how the carries
will be split on Sunday against the Dolphins. Rawls was a star last season
filling in while Marshawn Lynch was injured, running for 830 yards before
breaking his ankle in a December game against Baltimore.But the Seahawks wont
discount what Michael showed in the preseason. With Rawls still recovering,
Michael took the carries against the No. 1 defenses Seattle faced and averaged
6.0 yards per carry. More than anything, that could be why Michael was listed as
the starter ahead of Rawls, as a reward for what hes shown so far.Carroll
described Rawls status heading into the opener as equivalent to playing his
second preseason game. Thats not meant to be an indication of whether Rawls will
play, but perhaps a sign that his workload for the opener will be light.Were
just going to watch and see how he handles it. Thats all. Just see how he
handles it, Carroll said. That would be the only restriction is how hes taking
the rigors of the game.And thats not a problem for Seattle with the way Michael
has played in the preseason and because his running style is slightly different
than Rawls. While Rawls is likely to bounce off defenders running between the
tackles, Michael is more apt to make one cut and run through the opening created
by the offensive line and use his speed to get into the open field.Having
complementary running backs is more the style Carroll likes. His most successful
teams in college at USC often featured running backs with differing skills used
in a partnership. It was Carroll who adjusted to relying on one primary running
back when he saw what Lynch could provide after arriving in a trade from Buffalo
early in the 2010 season.I think you get a couple of guys and get that going so
you can feed off of those guys. I thought our days at SC really showed that. We
had multiple guys that could play with different strengths and sometimes one guy
was more effective on a day than the other guys. We never played the favorites.
We just played the guy that was hot, Carroll said. So I think the ability to mix
guys gives us more flexibility and a higher level of play, too. But I do really
appreciate the guy that needs to be out there and stay out there and gets more
instinctive as the game goes on, Ive got that understanding, too.Game notes
Carroll remained coy Wednesday about the status of TE Jimmy Graham for the
opener. His chances are the same. Theyre good, Carroll said. ... Rookie DT
Jarran Reed (toe) is expected to play Sunday if he is able to make it through
practice this week.---Online: AP NFL website:
