Hunt for Ram October: Moment 8 of 10 is Charlie Whitehurst’s finest Cutting to the chase Womens Frank Clark Jersey , Beastquake doesn’t happen without Charlie Whitehurst. And Ruvell Martin. And Mike Williams. And some St. Louis Rams ineptitude. And some good defense. And a terrible division.But mostly, it doesn’t happen without the biggest play of Whitehurst’s pro career, a gorgeous four-yard TD rainbow to Mike Williams. It’s a simple enough toss, yet one that put enough points on the board for the 2010 Seahawks to win the NFC West and advance to the soon-to-be-epic wild-card game with the Saints.Quick history lesson: in Week 17 of Pete Carroll’s first season, the 6-9 Seahawks hosted the 7-8 Rams in what was truthfully — albeit desperately — billed as the NFC West Championship Game. Seattle was vying to become the first sub-.500 division champion ever; St. Louis was vying to return to the playoffs for the first time in six seasons. Neither team was good. Regardless, someone had to win the division.Moment number 8: Whitehurst to Williams, for sixWhen: January 2, 2011, Week 17.Game state: Seahawks 0, Rams 0, first drive of the game, 2nd and goal from the STL 4, 11:43 Q1.What happens: Charlie Whitehurst finds Mike Williams in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown.The film:Five plays earlier, Whitehurst had seen Ruvell Martin break impossibly open, on what can only have been a blown coverage by the Rams. The duo connected for 61 yards, an explosive play that Womens Nick Vannett Jersey , along with the ensuing score, helped change history.It was the longest pass of Whitehurst’s career to that point, and the longest reception of Martin’s.Martin made 13 more catches in his career, ever, following that play — two in this game. Williams and Whitehurst left the Seahawks after the 2011 season. But their spirits will always be with us.(For moments 10 and 9 in our countdown, click this place and this place also.) Through the first half of the 2018 season Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has amassed 497 yard on 111 rushing attempts in spite of missing a game and a half due to injury. Those numbers have already far exceeded the numbers of any running back in recent seasons, and give him a somewhat realistic shot at a one thousand yard season, depending on his health over the second half of the year. It’s that last part that may be most worrisome.In recent seasons Seahawks fans have become accustomed to seeing running backs miss time due to injury, with the team having trotted out a parade of backs. The Hawks have had 18 different running backs carry the ball over the past three and a half seasons, and that number does not include carries by fullbacks Derrick Coleman, Tre Madden or Will Tukuafu. Including those three means that Seattle fans have seen rushing attempts by 21 different players in the time since the ill-fated goal line interception in Super Bowl XLIX, and Chris Carson’s 2018 season is already one of the best seasons for any of those 21 ball carriers in that time frame. In fact, just to put how unreliable the Seahawks running backs have been since the start of the 2015 season, here’s a list of the top fifteen seasons by a running back for the Hawks during that time period. Seahawks RB seasons since 2015Season RankPlayerSeasonAttemptsYardsYard Per CarryTouchdownsSeason RankPlayerSeasonAttemptsYardsYard Per CarryTouchdownsThus, if the season were to end today, Carson’s 2018 season represents the second most rushing yards by a Seattle running back since the Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/tyler-lockett-jersey , as his 40 yards on eight attempts against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday pushed his season total past that of Christine Michael’s 2016 total of 469 yards. What is troubling, however, is that Carson has been on and off the injury report with a hip issue of some kind for the past six weeks, following his 32 carry effort against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. Following that Herculean effort by Carson against the Cowboys, he then missed the Week 4 game against the Arizona Cardinals, before playing against the Los Angeles Rams and Oakland Raiders heading into the bye week. He then played against in Detroit coming out of the bye, however, his hip injury forced him out of the game against the Chargers, and he logged zero carries after the midway point of the second quarter. To me this says that he is nursing an injury that could require several weeks of recovery, as he’s already had separate weeks off, and the injury does not appear to have fully healed either time. Obviously we will know more when the first detailed Week 10 injury report comes out later today, but for Seahawks fans who have grown wear of seeing their running backs on the injury report over the last several seasons, this seems like a case of deja vu all over again.
