Quinton Jefferson Color Rush Jersey , but competition continues to be a very real thing for the team. And last year’s starting running back Chris Carson, a seventh-round pick in 2017, continues to keep his grip on the job over Rashaad Penny, a first-round selection in 2018.“Carson continues to look like the best running back on the roster,” writes Michael-Shawn Dugar of TheAthletic.com. “That’s not to say Penny has been bad. In fact, he looked really explosive on a few screen passes Saturday; he’s just not at the same level as Carson right now.”Coach Pete Carroll specifically praised Penny on Saturday.“Rashaad is doing great,” Carroll told reporters. “Rashaad came back with his weight in a place where his body fat was way down from what it was before. He had a great offseason, he’s stronger and faster than he’s been. He looks really, really good right now. We are really excited about it.”Carson finished 2018 with 1 Tom Johnson Color Rush Jersey ,147 yards. Penny added 419, but he actually had a slightly higher average (4.9 yards vs. 4.7).Penny appeared in 14 regular-season games with no starts. Carson appeared in 14 games as well, with 14 starts.The departure of Mike Davis via free agency to the Bears could result in more attempts for Penny, giving him a chance to reach his ceiling and possibly to carve into the production gap between himself and Carson. The NFL is handing out its awards for the 2018 season, and among the traditional categories, the AP Coach of the Year award went to Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy, who led the Bears to a 12-4 record and an NFC North title.According to the full AP breakdown, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was among six to receive a COTY vote, finishing fifth with a whopping two votes.As noted last year Rasheem Green Color Rush Jersey , the Seahawks have never won an AP award in the Russell Wilson era. Carroll in particular has never finished higher than third in Coach of the Year voting, and that came in 2012. This is the first time Carroll has received a COTY vote since the 2014 season, which doubles as Seattle’s last appearance in the Super Bowl.The 2018 Seahawks were widely predicted to miss the playoffs, with a handful of so-called experts believing Seattle would be picking in the top-ten. After a 4-5 start, Seattle went on a second-half surge and clinched a wild card spot at 10-6. Even in their losses, they were always competitive, and were one of only three teams all season — Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears are the other two — to not trail by at least 17 points at any point in a game this year.Carroll was never going to win this award, but it’s good to see at least a couple of Associated Press members acknowledge what a great job Pete did this season.
