Price looks like a slightly shiftier clone of the guy he's replacing... The Seahawks will gladly take an average of 5.2 yards per carry... I thought he ran the ball really well... he had a really good start and I'm excited about him.

Price averaged 5.2 YPC but usage was sparse; Macdonald praised his decisiveness.

Zach Charbonnet (referred to as Price in the article) looks like a slightly shiftier clone of Kenneth Walker III, with evident burst when running lanes emerge. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry in his debut. However, his usage was inconsistent—he carried for an 8-yard gain at the 8:25 mark of the second quarter but didn't touch the ball again until 11 minutes remained in the third quarter, suggesting he could have received more touches given his playmaking ability. He played 24 of 50 offensive snaps, with George Holani getting 23 and Emanuel Wilson just three; the limited snap count may have been due to missing preseason action and a hip injury. Coach Mike Macdonald praised his performance, saying he "ran the ball really well" and "had a really good start," noting he took care of the football and made decisive cuts despite no preseason reps.
