Was really happy to see him get work. People need to remember he missed most the preseason. Can’t wait to see him hopefully get the full load this week.

Yea, it was good to get a better look at him. It's a process.

Was it??

Carson through 2 games 5.8 YPC.
Penny though 2 games 2.2 YPC.

If you do not believe in always compete....then yes this is a good thing to get Penny reps while taking losses doing it. :pukeface:

It's a team sport and a 17 week marathon.

Carson did not touch the ball again after part way into the 2nd quarter.

How is that a team sport when Pete just announced he earned the #1 reps job?

Crap excuses is what I'm hearing. :141847_bnono:

Perhaps your hearing what you want to hear and dismissing/censoring what you don't want to hear. :229031_shrug:

Pete explained why Penny got more carries. Due to injuries, they had to use Carson on special teams. Carson was gassed having to play more on ST so to give him a break they went with Penny. Seems plausible to me.

2 games and he's a bust. Geezus.

I'm not calling bust! I'm saying give Carson the bulk of the carries and don't pull him for the game in the 2nd quarter!! You see Penny on the pass up the middle just watch it go by? Penny can get some reps here and there, but it should be near 2 to 1 to Carson and Carson earned the bulk of the 4th Q reps.

Carson played on only 2 ST plays-less than what he had last week. It was a BS excuse by Pete.

Carson has earned the right to be given the chance to carry the load but Pete is determined to give his 1st round reach every opportunity for whatever reason.

Penny got some nice yardage against a team playing prevent defense in the 4th quarter. Was nothing special.

Agreed. He got a few garbage time yards and still looks like he has a long way to go to being a consistent contributor. Perhaps in time he could be an effective 3rd down back.

I find it odd though how Penny superfans and apologists will claim "he's just a rookie, it's only his 2nd game" etc but will quickly dismiss Carson in only his 6th game as "just average." Interesting.

Penny missed some big holes and goes down pretty easily. Looks about as dangerous as any back that could have been picked up as UN-drafted FA.
