Competing for third-down role Dallas could land the third-down role if his pass-blocking skills show improvement, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Impact As long as Chris Carson is healthy, Dallas likely won't receive many carries. Even if Carson gets hurt, both Rashaad Penny and Alex Collins will likely take over a good chunk of the ground game. Dallas is likely the best route runner in the backfield, however, his pass-blocking skills weren't good enough last year to warrant much playing time. As it stands, Travis Homer (calf) likely still has the edge on third downs because he has adequately protected Russell Wilson in the past, but Homer's currently on the preseason PUP list, opening the door for Dallas to secure a heightened role.
