What we learned  Kings Blank Women Jersey from Seahawks' win over Vikings   Published: Aug 18, 2017 at 06:06 PM           Digital Content Editor                               The absence of , in camp, presented new acquisition with a golden opportunity to prove to coaches he could split snaps with the starting incumbent.      Instead, it was rookie back who earned more time with the starters . Carson alternated first-team snaps with Lacy on Seattle's opening three drives and showed better speed and hole-hitting ability on his six carries for 27 yards. The rookie also was effective out of the backfield, taking one pa s for 17 yards.      Carson also showed up on film when the ball wasn't in his hands. His pickup of defensive end sprung a first-quarter deep ball, and as a special teamer, he forced a fumble on the opening kickoff of the second half.     Lacy, meanwhile, struggled to pick up gains in short-yardage situations, tallying just two yards on three down-and-one situations, from Seattle's preseason opener. The former star ran for 20 yards on six carries, barreling through tacklers for nine yards on his opening rush, but otherwise making little impact on the ground.      Pete Carroll's backfield is the most crowded it has been since Beast Mode's exodus, with Rawls, Lacy, Carson, , and all worthy of targets capable of catching out of the backfield. So just because Seattle brought Tobias Bjornfot Jersey  in the former Pro Bowler Lacy this offseason, paid him a starter's salary and made him publicly monitor his fluctuating weight doesn't mean he is guaranteed starting snaps in the regular season.         In other words, the RB depth chart in SEA is TBD.     Here's what else we learned from Seattle's over Minnesota in the CLASH AT THE CLINK:      is one slippery beast. The rookie tailback impre sed once again with the first-teamers, bursting into the second level on nearly every one of his seven gallops Friday evening. Minnesota trusts Cook to carry the load, as the opened their second drive of the game with four straight handoffs to their first-year runner, who gained 40 yards on the night. The rookie was subbed out after just two drives, but had done more than enough to secure his status in this offense. If wants starting carries in Minnesota, he better rehab as quickly as po sible. If not, he'll get before even taking the field.     Seattle suffered a serious blow to its offensive line when starting left tackle had his right leg rolled up in the second quarter and was carted off the field with  Scott Wedgewood Kids Jersey his leg in an air cast. The second-year undrafted tackle was immediately replaced Dave Taylor Kids Jersey  by guard , who played there for the remainder of the game. -- a major setback for the converted basketball player, who gained nearly 20 pounds and has impre sed coaches this offseason. With Fant , Seattle could keep 2016 third-round pick Odhiambo at left tackle or swap him inside with former left tackle and current starting left guard .     Meet , Seattle's newest big-play receiving threat. The third-year receiver has only one career reception to his name, but through two preseason games, has exploded onto the scene in Seattle with and sidelined. After a four-catch, 119-yard showing against the in Week 1, the receiver made two stellar catches on Seattle's opening drive, including a one-handed snag surely to get some traffic on the dark web. If he can continue to and keep up the acrobatics in the coming weeks, Williams won't just secure a roster spot behind the likes of and ; he'll be playing alongside them by Week 1.      Remember when , then a member of the , in a 2015 wild-card lo s to the and subsequently lost his job? Well, now the exorcised kicker is Seattle's starting booter, and Friday night was his revenge game. Walsh went 2 for 3 on field-goal attempts, knocking in two 52-yard field goals in the third quarter. The kicker in what will go down as the best -- and only -- preseason kicker taunt in NFL history. Whatever helps you heal.     Football-as-prop celebrations are back, baby. They're back!
