Earlier this season, I broke down Thomas Rawls’ performance versus the Cincinnati Bengals, where he carried the ball 23 times for 169 yards and one touchdown. 169 yards was actually the most yards a Seahawks’ running back has rushed for since Shaun Alexander ran for 201 yards versus the Green Bay Packers back in 2006.

Well last week versus the 49ers, Rawls rushed for 209 yards and gained another 46 yards through the air. This week versus the Steelers, Rawls rushed for 21 times for an additional 81 yards and a touchdown. Rawls is now ranked second overall in the Seahawks’ organization for most rushing yards in a single game. According to ProFootballReference, Shaun Alexander is ranked first after rushing for 266 yards against the Raiders in 2001.

Stats
Rawls - 51 carries for 290 yards, 5.7 ypc, 2 TD, 3 receptions on 4 targets for 46 yards, 11.5 ypa, 1 receiving TD

Seahawks’ Thomas Rawls vs Bengals - 23 rushes, 169 yards, 1 TD

Marshawn Lynch injured his hamstring in Seattle’s Week 3 game versus the Bears. Since Lynch’s injury, Thomas Rawls, the undrafted rookie from Central Michigan, has performed admirably in place of the star running back. Versus the Bengals, Rawls totaled 169 rushing yards on 23 carries (7.3 ypc) and one touchdown. 169 rushing yards is actually the most yards a Seahawks’ running back has rushed for since Shaun Alexander ran for 201 yards versus the Green Bay Packers back in 2006.

To start we will look at Rawls’ first rush attempt in the game. The situation is 1st and 10 on the Seahawks’ 20 yard line. The Seahawks run off-tackle lead to the left from the “I” with 21-personnel (2 RB, 1 TE, 2 WR).

Center #62 Drew Nowak and left guard #68 Justin Britt combination block nose tackle #94 Domata Peko, while fullback #40 Derrick Coleman lead blocks through the weakside B-gap. Rawls realizes that linebacker #50 AJ Hawk has filled his gap responsibility, so Rawls bounces the ball outside the pocket. Rawls outruns defensive tackle #97 Geno Atkins in the backfield and gains seven yards on the play.

The most important block was made by left tackle #75 Russell Okung who seals the edge after AJ Hawk gets taken down by the fullback at the line of scrimmage.… Article continues here
