Footballguys view: Carson is the lead back for now. Penny, the team's first-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, played just as many offensive snaps (25) as Carson did against the Broncos in Week 1. It may not be long before Penny takes over as the lead back for Seattle.
AZZURRI's VIEW:
It will be long before Penny takes over as lead back for Seattle over Carson and you can bet had Seattle known what they had in Carson back on Draft day they would have gone a different way. They would have gone defense or OLine with that pick which they needed more than Penny then gotten a RB like Royce Freeman later in the draft instead. Carson goes nowhere unless hurt and will be a key contributor for the Hawks, more so than Penny this year, did you see his incredible leap over the head of the defender just in front of him and run yesterday that was an amazing athletic move. That was Carson not Penny i do believe?
Don't be fooled by the news blogger bogey man this time. Carson produced nicely on just seven carries only and he is a three down back who can catch and block very well once they get home he'll be the crowd darling as he runs very hard near and goal line that will help so the TDs will come. Only concern for me is the Online play is it really upgraded and playing better than last years sorry bunch? If yes Carson is the RB to own in Seat and Penny will not overtake him this year unless injury comes for Carson...Penny is a cuff and what the heck flex play only. Mike Davis would also play a lot if Carson got hurt.
Carson owners stay excited do not let the blogger bogeyman scare you off him.
