| 0:16.1 | Why the Seahawks still need an answer at Running Back. |
| 0:19.4 | That's what we're talking here. |
| 0:20.4 | And we have a lot |
| 0:21.2 | to cover when it comes to this one. Let's start with whether or not we think they need an answer. |
| 0:28.4 | And then we'll get to what the answer could be. And I'll start by saying this. I think that |
| 0:35.9 | the, or Curtis and I were talking about earlier, bump, the value of running backs has changed so much. It wasn't that long ago where people were going, running backs don't matter.
