I thought Chris Carson for certain. He must have just missed the cut!

Drew asked about Seahawks. Carson did have a busy year, with 20 carries inside the 5 -- among the leaders. But Penny, Wilson and Prosise all had 4 carries, Homer had 2, and Lynch had 1. That's 20 of 35 for Carson; he would need 28 of 35 to hit 80 percent.

Carson missed the equivalent of 2-3 games with injuries. Otherwise, I think he would have been close to 80%. He was actually a very good back in that respect as Penny didn't get on the field that much and Wilson doesn't run as often, near the goal line, as one might think. Carson's supposed to be healing well from his fractured hip, and should be ready for training camp, so I'm hoping he repeats as Seattle's bell-cow back.
