Who is the Seahawks RB2?
George Holani is the Seahawks RB2 behind Jadarian Price, which makes him the back in line for the workload if Jadarian Price misses time — the handcuff.
Who backs up the Seahawks at running back?
A handcuff is the backup who inherits the starter's workload if the starter gets hurt — so the Seahawks handcuff is whoever sits directly behind Jadarian Price on the depth chart above. Rostering him is how you protect a starting back you have already spent a pick on. More on what a handcuff is.
Seattle used a first-round pick on Jadarian Price, so the starting job is his to take — and the reporting below has him competing with George Holani while Zach Charbonnet recovers from knee surgery. Charbonnet took 46.1% of Seattle's offensive snaps last season and 49.2% of its pass snaps.
If Jadarian Price misses time
Seattle spent a first-round pick on Price, so the carries are meant to be his. The inversion here is that the experienced back is the one whose availability is in doubt, and the first-rounder above him has no professional record at all.
Charbonnet has been durable when healthy, 49 of 51 team games across 3 seasons, and productive: 184 carries at +0.33 yards over expected per carry, 28th of 49 qualifying backs. The reporting below has the injury and the timeline.
Emanuel Wilson is the third back with a real record, earned for Green Bay — 125 carries at -0.21 per carry, 42nd of 49, and 30.7% of that team's snaps.
Touches with everyone healthy
Unknowable, because nobody in this room has been healthy together yet.
What last season showed is that Charbonnet was close to a lead back — 46.1% of the snaps, 28th among running backs, on 184 carries. Emanuel Wilson took 30.7% of Green Bay's.
Price is expected to take most of that, which is a bet on the draft pick rather than on anything measured. The reporting below has him competing with George Holani for the job while Charbonnet recovers, and the head coach saying Charbonnet will not miss the whole season.
Is there a passing-down back?
It was Charbonnet, and whether it still is depends on a knee — and now on a depth chart that has moved against him. He has slid from RB2 to RB4 on Seattle's chart, while Holani has climbed from RB4 to RB2.
He played 256 pass snaps last season, 49.2% of Seattle's, 21st among running backs, at 0.56 receiving yards per pass snap. His 24 targets in 16 games fell below the 25 needed for a receiving rate to mean much, so the snap share is the better evidence — and it says he was the back on the field when Seattle threw.
Emanuel Wilson played 166 pass snaps for Green Bay at 0.60 per snap. George Holani played 9 pass snaps, far under the 100-snap line, and Price has never played one.
If Charbonnet is cleared early, the passing-down role still has an obvious owner. If he is not, it is the most open job in any of these backfields, and Holani's move up the depth chart puts him first in line to claim it.
