Many players with that injury are never 100% again . He wasn't a #1 caliber RB when he was 100% . Prosise will most likely be gone next season ; so I look for Travis Homer to be the #2 RB . The Hawks will pick up another RB or 2 in the draft and in FA . Hopefully they avoid taking a RB in the draft before the 3rd or 4th round again .

Penny will be fine. ACL tears are NOT as bad as they used to be.

As far as the draft I would LOVE McFarland or Edwards-Helaire.

Obviously, every case is distinct, but yes, success and recovery rates are much better than they were when Curt Warner went down.

I'll take the good news that he is progressing.

I don't get this take. Penny was just starting to come on really strong and, in my opinion, prove he was a #1. If Homer is our #2 next year, we won't be going very far. Homer is a weak #3 option at best.

 

[Appyhawk]

I don't think it's fair to criticize Homer for the state of affairs our O Line was in when he got his number called. Given the circumstance he turned out to be a great value. What was he, rd6 or 7? We lost 2 good backs behind the same line Homer couldn't rack up huge yardage behind. He earned his keep.

 

[Largent80]

Great to hear he is already on a bike. He'll be ahead of schedule and he's never had a major injury.

I still think the Hawks will draft an RB, and this is a very decent class. If they want a good one the 2 I mentioned would fit like a glove in this offense.

Agreed. Can't see them skipping the RB class this year. Assuming Prosise is done and with Penny in extended rehab, it would be foolish to NOT pick at least one RB.

Prosise we simply didn't see anything...Buh-Bye

Let me explain it for you:
This guy never liked Penny. He ripped him constantly and he would like to see him fail.
As for Travis Homer being the number two back, if that happens we'll have pretty much no run game. Homer is a fine special team player and a change of pace third down type at best in the NFL. Agree with Appy, He was definitely good value for where he was drafted but he is not a number two running back in the NFL.

I don't expect much from Penny until mid-season.

I don't expect much from Penny until mid-season.

Which would be exactly when we need him and is the reason we need to get one of those 2 I showed everyone.

 

[UK_Seahawk]

If he wasnt outrageously expensive would anyone be tempted by Ekeler from the Chargers? He seems to be the type of player they were hoping Prosise was going to be. The FO might like adding a known prospect into the mix?

That would work for me if the price was right. The problem is we need our salary cap space for defense, badly. Because of that I think L80 is closer to how things will play out because I do agree with jammer I don't think Penny's ready till mid-season unfortunately.

No to an FA RB, we've been down that road, and we have a plethora of draft picks AND the DL needs to be fixed in free agency.

Maybe we should trade for one? We've been down that road as well, and got Beastmode...

Yes I understand that was a rare gift. I'm mostly kidding.

We have bigger fish to fry than RB.....See DL

Penny will never be a starter in this league ; and if he does I hope it's on another team . Carson please :?:

 

[Hendo66]

Carson isn't the most reliable back either. Love the guy but with his running style and the pound this teams pound the rock philosophy he's always going to be an injury risk. RB should be a pretty big priority.

 

[Appyhawk]

Whoever is toting the rock for us will be as good as our O Line can make him.
And whoever that is will hopefully get lots of work due to the stellar job our new D Line does.
