“You just feed off runners like that”, safety Kam Chancellor said, who called Rawls “little baby Marshawn”.

While there are questions of what specifically is going on, the coach remained vague and only said that they are not ruling anything out at this point.
The Seahawks will play next Sunday at home against Pittsburgh (6-4).
The San Francisco 49ers continued their downward spiral of a season Sunday in Seattle, losing to the rival Seahawks 29-13. And he will keep the job because of Kaepernick’s season-ending shoulder injury; the 49ers put the struggling passer on injured reserve Saturday with a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder.
“Lynch will meet with noted specialist Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia today [Monday]”, an NFL.com writer wrote.
Meyers has performed surgery in the past on the likes of Adrian Peterson and Robinson Cano. He said he noticed that defensive players played tentatively, as if afraid to make a mistake. “It’s an abdominal issue, there’s a lot going on there, so we’ve got to see what that all means”.
-RB Marshawn Lynch was inactive Sunday with an abdominal injury, and coach Pete Carroll said the running back would be going to see a specialist in Philadelphia on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. He played through the discomfort in the loss to the Cardinals but Carroll said the injury got worse as the game went on. “That’s just what I felt”. Rawls had 30 carries for 209 yards and touchdown, he also recorded three receptions for 46 yards and another score.
In Lynch’s place, Thomas Rawls thrived as the leading running back putting together a solid performance that consisted of him putting up 255 yards from scrimmage and two scores.
Rawls has started four games this season and has the two best rushing games for the Seahawks. So I don’t know that. That did not happen after the 3:09 punt, as Rawls had one run of 22 yards, one for no gain, one for two yards, and one for ten yards. And then, when it got to the, I think it was three minutes, or 3:09, it was right around three minutes and we had two timeouts and at the five minute we still had the three timeouts.
“We’re evaluating the rigor of the week and is he going to be at his best for game day”.
Rawls’ skill flashed in practice enough during the offseason that Seattle was willing to part with Robert Turbin and Christine Michael as the backups to Lynch and go with Rawls with veteran Fred Jackson as the third-down back. Steven Hauschka missed the attempt after the Seahawks’ second touchdown, and the kick was blocked after Rawls’ touchdown in the fourth quarter.
“(Rawls) has something about him that we thought might be special, so that’s why we made that choice”, Carroll said. “It’s like he’s just one of the fellows out there for us”, Carroll said. Carroll indicated CB Jeremy Lane likely will be added to the 53-man roster sometime this week.

Richardson was playing in his first game of the season after coming off the physically unable to perform list. And of course, Seahawks fans can see that the young running back, much like Lynch, does not shy away from contact.
