Viewer Discretion Advised: May cause welling.Davis enrolled at South Carolina as the seventh-best running back prospect in the country and rushed for over 2,000 yards in his final two seasons with the Gamecocks but after being a fourth round pick in 2015 by the 49ers, his career never took off like he hoped. Davis had just 54 carries for 108 yards in his first two years in San Francisco, getting released in May, 2017.At that point, as a “dime a dozen running back” with little to show on the field as a professional, the idea of Davis cashing in on his immense athletic talent (Thanks, Mom) wasn’t likely with those dozen dimes. Seattle gave him his second life but that didn’t instill too much hope in Davis supporters early on, as he was released at final cuts that year and placed on the practice squad. Davis ran six times in 2017.As time was just about out for Davis he rushed for 514 yards and four touchdowns last season despite being third on the depth chart behind an 1,100-yard rusher and a first round pick. Though Davis had no hope of a wildly big payday like many NFL players because of his position — just a reality of running backs as only 16 of them making more than $4 million per season — he went from a player who probably rarely unpacked his bags just in case to one who signed a two-year, $6 million deal with the Bears in March. And $3 million of that was guaranteed.For almost anyone reading this piece a $3 million guarantee would change our lives but what if you knew that there’s a decent possibility that you wouldn’t receive another NFL check as a player again beyond this deal? That’s something that Davis and his agent surely are aware of but that didn’t stop him from spending a good deal of his guaranteed money after taxes on his mom for the first house of her own.So do running backs matter? Absolutely.Happy Mother’s Day everybody. GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Seattle Seahawks got a victory but lost an embittered Earl Thomas with a fractured leg.The Arizona Cardinals remained winless but had to be encouraged with the performance of rookie quarterback Josh Rosen in his first start.It was a mixed bag for both teams but the Seahawks came away with the victory Sunday when Sebastian Janikowski, after two earlier misses, kicked a 52-yard field goal as time expired for a 20-17 victory over the Cardinals, who fell to 0-4 for the first time since 1986 Tedric Thompson Color Rush Jersey , two years before the franchise moved from St. Louis.“We ran the ball for over 170 yards, which is fantastic,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “Mike Davis ran like crazy. He gave us a great effort on a day when Chris (Carson) couldn’t go.”Thomas sustained a lower left leg fracture while defending what turned out to be the game-tying touchdown pass from Rosen to Chad Williams in the fourth quarter.Obviously frustrated, Thomas made an obscene gesture toward the Seattle side of the field as he was carted off.<noscript></noscript>Thomas had been embroiled in a contract squabble with the Seahawks, skipping some practices to show his ire. His teammates understood his frustration.“It’s an unfortunate part of the business,” Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “If he doesn’t come back, he’s not a team guy. If he does come back, he gets hurt and they say he shouldn’t have come back. It’s a crazy business that we’re in.”Rosen, meanwhile, was impressive in his starting debut, completing 15 of 27 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown with no interception. He had several passes dropped.“I thought he played fantastic,” said teammate Larry Fitzgerald, who uncharacteristically dropped a couple. “I didn’t do him any justice by making plays for him, but I think he stuck in there and made some wonderful plays, some great throws.”Here are some things to consider from Seattle’s victory over Arizona.ROSEN’S DAYRosen said he had a couple of scrambles out of the backfield “that kind of got me in the flow of the game a little bit in the sense of like, ‘I belong here.”He said he felt more comfortable as the game went on and was at his most effective completing three big passes leading to his 22-yard TD toss to Chad Williams to tie the game at 17-17.“Again, his poise showed up Ethan Pocic Color Rush Jersey ,” coach Steve Wilks said. “… Total control over that whole drive.”JOHNSON’S PROGRESSFinally, David Johnson began to look like David Johnson.The Arizona running back topped 100 yards from scrimmage. He rushed for 71 yards in 22 attempts, including a 21-yard run, and caught three for 41 yards, including a 30-yard screen pass on Arizona’s game-tying TD drive.But Johnson gave himself poor grades.“I don’t know about the other guys, but I’m very disappointed in myself,” he said. “I had a lot of mental errors, man, and I didn’t do enough to help out the team.”KICKING WOESJankowski and Dawson are two of the most experienced kickers in the business, but they each missed twice.“No excuses,” Dawson said. “I go out there whenever I’m told to go out there, and it’s my job to put the ball through the posts. And twice today, I didn’t do that.”Dawson missed a 45-yarder that would have given Arizona the lead with 1:50 to play. Seattle drove downfield, with no timeouts, to set up Janikowski’s winning kick.INJURED SEAHAWKSThomas wasn’t the only Seattle player to be injured.Rookie tight end Will Dissly was carted off in the first quarter with a patellar tendon injury.“There’s nothing we can do but send love to them and build them up and all that,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “The bittersweet is so obvious. That’s how we’re feeling about it.”UP NEXTCardinals play the 49ers in San Francisco next Sunday.
