Carson played great against Minnesota, and looked in sync with the line. He is ready. Reps in this game will not help him in anyway, the only thing that could happen is he could get dinged.
The benefits of resting him up for the regular season, far outweigh the near zero benefit of playing him in this game at this juncture.
Carroll said that he wants to see everybody play that is able to play . Personally I don't want to see Wilson---Wagner---Lockett---Brown---and especially Carson play tonight . Carroll needs to play it safe with all the dings they already have .IMO

Everybody bagging on Penny. You have to give him space. He is not a bell cow RB. Think pitches, options and swing passes. He will excel in that role.
I don't want to wait 2 weeks to watch Carson play. A freak injury can happen to anyone on the first play of the game. Does that mean Carson shouldn't get a few snaps? And if Penny is 'so good' then losing Carson wouldn't be a massive loss wouldn't it?

Carson might get a few downs tonight but hopefully not many . Penny hasn't shown yet that he could take on Carson's workload . He is not the grinder that the offense needs to succeed . IMO if Carson goes down for an extended period ; the Hawks can forget any chance of winning the division .

They drafted him to be a starter if necessary . To come in and play RB without losing production . If they used him as you described ; defenses would figure that out in very short order and track him down every time he was on the field .IMO

CC is pretty established by now, we know what we are going to get from him. The fact that we concentrate on running AND we only have one reliable running back makes Carson particularly vulnerable.

Since Carson is the engine that makes this offense go, I agree with OP, rest him up. The guy doesn't know how to save his body (a point in his favor IMO) and we know what we have with him.
I think Penny has talent I just hate the fit with this team. Pete's offense runs the ball a lot, and the Carson types who get positive yardage every play, like Marshawn, keep things on schedule even when blocking breaks down. Penny is a boom/bust guy so far, love what he can do with a crease, but I just don't see how that fits the offense. Even on third down last year I preferred Davis who could drag a defender or truck if need be and catch the ball displaying enough nifty moves.
Penny is a guy who can feast when the D doesn't see it coming, but that smells like gimmick to me and our O doesn't do gimmicks. Harvin and Jimmy should have been enough evidence on that score.
That said, I want to feed Penny a ton this preseason and see what we have there. He's the back with the most to prove IMO. Is he a solid backup? Or just a gimmick change of pace. Let's find out.
