SEATTLE -- Doug Baldwin didn't wait for the question to finish before launching into his answer. He was eager to rave about rookie running back Chris Carson, who had just helped the Seattle Seahawks close out a 12-9 win against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at CenturyLink Field.
"He's the real deal. He's the real deal," Baldwin said. "I've been telling you that since training camp. He is the real deal."
As Carson has risen up the depth chart because of performances like the one he delivered against the 49ers, Eddie Lacy has fallen down it.
