Penny

[sutz]

Still not sure why so many people gave up on the guy so early. He clearly has a lot of talent and can contribute. The guy is a Hawk, and will likely be for awhile. Support the guy, we need him.

I blame Fantasy Football. Leads to unrealistic performance expectations and over emphasis of the value of draft picks. :twisted:

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt. I was thinking about how many people had their fantasy drafts and picked Luck or Clam Poopin on their team. Oops. I've never played fantasy, but people go nuts for that crap.

You guys are basing evaluation on a back that may need to get 20 carries to really show what he can do, some players need to get in a rhythm and get hit a few times to get rolling, when Penny has had that he has had his best output, problem is he doesn't get that very much.

And reason for that is Carson . As long as Carson is rolling Penny will never get the touches . He's a backup now and maybe forever as long as Carson stays healthy . IMO

If we get Clowney in a trade for Penny then I am proven wrong. Great use of a late first....

4.9 yds per carry last year your already wrong. See I can deal in absolutes to the truth is some where in the middle.

anyone using 4.9ypc is automatically disqualified from having his opinions mean anything.

How about 6.4 over his last 7 games?

How about in 3 preseaon games...20 rush attempts ...1.8 yards average...awesome .I would trade him in a Clowney deal right now . :0190l:

 

[McGruff]

So three meaningless preseason games without game planning and with a vast mix of terrible players rotating through takes priority over his regular season performance as he got healthy and more comfortable in his new offense?

Just seeking clarity.

How many runs per game?

 

[McGruff]

How many times can we move the goal posts?

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

As many times as it takes to try to prove themselves right because their self-esteem depends on it?

I can't figure out which direction the goal posts are moving. :229031_shrug:

Seriously?

You cherry pick a stat and ignore that he had 85 total runs in the season

The last 7 games.multiple games with FOUR FREAKING RUNS per game.

Great we have a first round or that averages 4.9 yards with less than FIVE runs per game.

That is not the definition of success for a RB. Get back to me when he is 20+ runs and actually impacts the game.

If your point is that we have a situational gimmick player great I agree with you.

The goalposts just moved back despite yours and others attempt at avoiding the full picture

 

[nanomoz]

It seems like he did better in games in which he had more carries. *shrug*

It's hard to pick a volume that might "matter" according to someone's definition, but in games Penny had 7 or more carries, he averaged about 5.6 yards per carry.

Most Penny detractors, especially those labeling him a "bust," have no g***amn perspective. The dude's going to be awesome this year (or maybe great ammo in a trade for Clowney).

Penny lacks vision and that’s apparent to anyone who watches football. I know we give Pete a lot of flack for our brittle back Procise but it’s clear as day Cj is far and above a superior back then the current version of Penny. I do hold out hope, but how can you teach vision? From my days of watching the game, you either have it or you don’t

 

[SoulfishHawk]

So you know more than Pete Carroll about football players and their abilities on the field. :?

 

[TwistedHusky]

Too bad CJ Procise either has bones made of balsa wood, or has the pain tolerance of a 6-year old with a sleep deficit.

So regardless of how good CJ is, and he could be the 2nd coming of Barry Sanders for all I care, he can break a rib mishandling a Q-Tip. You cannot depend on him at all.

4 carries per game is better than 4 carries per year.

Carroll just needs to use Penny like he would have used Procise if Procise was not nursing (INSERT NEW INJURY HERE)

 

[onanygivensunday]

So we have two players whose names we constantly butcher spelling-wise... Prosise and Pocic.

The easy way to remember their spelling is both names do NOT combine "s"s and "c"s. Both use two of each.

And no, it's not Procice and Posis. lol

Love me some Prowsyss and Pennie

I am of the opinion that Pete thinks extremely highly of CJ, and for good reason. CJ could run between the tackles, may not be as powerful as Carson but more than adequate; but CJ could also run outside and catches the ball very well.

Pete kept CJ for years while cutting a bunch of other RBs,

Agree. Posick is on target to have a breakout season, and Penee has every indication he will put in his 2 sense worth as well!!!

[TwistedHusky]

As soon as Procise spends an entire season uninjured I will bother to learn how to spell his name correctly.

Sounds like a fair compromise.
