Rashaad Penny to the Eagles

[hoxrox]

That sucks. I really liked Penny's running style.

KW3 is great to have, but not a bell cow.

Did he sprain his thumb signing the contract?

And tore a nail on his other hand pinky holding the paper down.

 

[SonicHawk]

Ton of talent just hit by the injury bug. Best of luck to him.

 

[SonicHawk]

Good for RP. He'll probably have his first healthy year and be a top-3 RB.

Almost guaranteed.

 

[Shane Falco]

Curious to see what they gave him for the 1 year deal. Dude is a stud when healthy. Should be a great signing for them.

Easier to swallow having K9 but we do need some depth at RB.

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Just feels like overall the pick was a bust. Possibly a reach for when we took him. Flashed at points but couldn't stay healthy. Didn't we pick him over Chubb?

We DEFINITELY need at least one more high quality RB. This team, for some reason, cannot keep it's RBs healthy.

To add to the health bit… I swear league wide I’ve seen more and more RBs getting little ankle twists done to them when they’re tackled.

Not a bust - he had great production when healthy and was the key to quite a few wins.

He underperformed his draft slot strictly due to unavailability.

Something about the Seahawks system creates high injury rates for RBs. Conditioning? Scheme? No idea, but our RB games missed to injury is absurd.

First Barton,and now Penny... I'm drinking today !

Cheers baby

 

[hoxrox]

The last injury wasn't even his fault. Got his ankle twisted by the dirty Saints player.

I feel like Lynch went years without getting hurt until last year or so we orginially had him.

Funny that injury history is probably why we took him over Nick Chubb.

First-round RBs are a waste. Dallas, Homer, and a mid-round pick are fine to have behind KW3.

 

[soxhawk]

Do we know how much they paid him? Personally, I hoped we'd keep him.

 

[hoxrox]

Dallas, Homer and KW3 were all injured at some point last season.

We need another back that will be more dynamic, or more powerful than Dallas and Homer.

None of the above are ideal short yardage backs.

 

[12AngryHawks]

That's a bummer, I've liked him since his days at SDSU, really humble kid. Philly's a really good spot for him.

 

[Mizak]

RB Austin Ekeler from the chargers rings a bell.

 

[soxhawk]

Maybe we will go big after Henry. He could fit in nicely here.

 

[samwize77]

My only concern is the RB spot itself. Walker I'm great with..the rest? meh. Another position of, at least, mild concern going into the draft.
Eckler would be nice, but, I know I know, the $$.
