Penny out for extended period

Unfortunate? Yes. But we knew it was only a matter of time. I hope it isn't severe and he recovers quickly. In the meantime, it's all about the Walker show. When that guy gets comfortable back there, watch out.

Shocking to see CJ Prosi... I mean, Rashaad Penny hurt again. Who had week 5 in the pool?

 

[Jerhawk]

That tackle was dirt af. Extra twist at the end. Bounty gate still alive and well down there

if he gets space, he capitalizes. it's his time to shine.

Yeah let's bag on the guy for being injury-prone after an opponent twists his leg and breaks it. Nice.

People like to confirm their priors using events like this, unfortunately.

let's see if the nfl reviews that shit like they reviewed tua's concussion

probably not since penny's not a star quarterback

Between the end of last season and the start of this season, Penny has done an extraordinary job. I love Walkers potential, but as of now that’s all it is. Penny will be missed.

Here comes the Alex Collins signing in a few days aka sign rbs thats familiar to Pete’s offensive system.

Seems kind of important to sign players with familiarity when you need depth mid-season.

Also, I'd venture more towards saying Waldron/Dickerson's system, seeing as the blocking scheme under them has been completely different and the offense itself also looks extremely different. Kind of disingenuous to suggest that this is a static and unchanging offense.

 

[toffee]

Men, I am gonna miss Penny.

 

[sc85sis]

Hopefully it's a clean break and he can come back at the end of the season.

 

[CallMeADawg]

Very unfortunate but K9 gets the rock now. Good experience for him. It's not like Seattle is going places with their driving miss daisy defense.

By the end of the season, a bunch of people that bitched about the poor value of drafting a running back in the second round will own Walker III jerseys.

True. I cannot believe people were bitching about that pick. I was celebrating.

I watched that Michigan game and was like damn I hope we draft this dude. Then we did!

Totally. I wanted to come out of the draft with Pierce or Walker III. And they came out with at least 4 other centerpieces, too.

The silver lining is he will probably be back on another 1 yr deal next year at a bargain price.

Not unlikely. But I'd kind of like the Hawks to go the Packers rout, and draft a smasher running back in the Jamaal Williams/AJ Dillon mold. One doesnt' exclude the other, certainly, as we've seen with injuries at this position for the better part of a decade.
