That's probably why they ran it.
The Bevell art of surprise--"They'll never expect it!"
Actually, if Penny got the ball, a 230 lb running back vs a 200 lb corner in open space--not a bad matchup for the RB, break one tackle and there are some yards to be had.
This... The play was likely designed to get Penny in space against the corner.
