The Facts: True to form, new OC Greg Knapp wasted no time indicating that the Seahawks will run the ball more frequently next season. But will there be the same RB-by-committee as there was in Mike Holmgren’s final season as head coach? The way we hear it, the most likely scenario is a featured “lightning/thunder” combination of Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett at the RB position that will be similar to the Warrick Dunn-Duckett combo new HC Jim Mora and Knapp previously featured in Atlanta.
Diehards Line:As for holdover free agent Maurice Morris, PFW suggests his lack of durability and apparent inability to be a consistent 20-carry back probably will lead to his departure. Also in the mix? "Don’t forget Leonard Weaver,” a longtime team insider told PFW. “He has developed into a pretty nice all-around fullback with decent playmaking ability, and according to Holmgren, he became the backfield’s best blocker.” Indeed, Weaver is a versatile threat with strong receiving skills.
