Whether the problem will be addressed via free agency or the draft remains to be seen. But there is no question that Seattle is at least looking for depth, if not more. Murray and Lacy can provide the physical running style the Seahawks lost in Marshawn Lynch. Rawls provides a similar punch, but cannot be relied upon to stay healthy with that style.
Charles would be an excellent insurance policy for Prosise. If both can stay healthy, Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell has two new toys to play with. Prosise ability to play wide receiver opens the door for all kinds of creative concepts, mostly involving motion sets.
The Seahawks are looking and trying to get better. They appear to want to return to the bullying mentality on the field that won them a Super Bowl and got them to another. Step One could be Luke Joeckel. Step Two might be a new running back.
