Rashaad Penny visits Seattle

[SoulfishHawk]

Meh, talking to someone doesn't = signing them. We should all know this by now.

 

[WarHawks]

I was surprised to see recently that McIntosh was actually a full second faster than Walker in straight line speed. Curious what shape Penny is in now. He was a home run threat when healthy.

Penny was a stud when healthy. I'd love to have him on a minimum salary.

He was a stud when Adrian Peterson was his personal coach

[Ostatehawk]

I’d rather have CJ Procise

All kidding aside, getting him on the cheap would not be a bad idea

Reported.

The Seahawks need a RB with pass-blocking and receiving skills for 3rd down passing situation. I don't think Penny fits that bill but if management wants a competition for the #3 RB position without guaranteeing any money then fair enough. Penny has at least proven to be a difference maker in the past. Adding 1 or 2 rookies to compete for RB spots is also fine.

You bring him in check the physical aspect and then put his name on a call up list if something happens, we have three guys, two established and one that has all the earmarks of being a good return guy and plays like a wrecking ball when given a chance and can catch the ball and will be cheaper than Penny. Additionally he has never had the strongest work ethic unless pushed by Peterson.

Nothingburger.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

As are most of these types of reports. Meh.

I'd like to see Penny back. He had a historic run of 5 or so games when healthy, even behind an annually maligned Seahawks line. Penny had another game won for the Hawks that year, but Russell and the crap D gave away to the Bears. When healthy, Penny is a gamebreaker.

I was baffled why Penny got zero playing time in Philly, but now I'd have to guess it was the injury, and as someone pointed out, it's not just broken bones, but ligaments and other tissue that needed to recover. Bring him in to camp and whatever happens, happens. Injury settlement release during camp or 1,000 yard season, each within the realm of possibility. Sign AP as a consultant to give weekly pep talks to Penny and bring a belt.

Flyer on a 4th RB...who WHEN HEALTHY is pretty damn good....small contract low risk high reward...why not?

Yet being healthy how much did he play after leaving the Seahawks? He had ELEVEN carries for the season. He is crap.

edit: but just talking to him doesn't hurt.

A whole second faster in what?

 

[Chawker]

Did he get injured open the front door ?

 

[WarHawks]

A whole second faster in what?

Running. That's what straight line speed means.

 

[Scout]

Penny would be good insurance in case of injury to the other RBs ironically. Can never have enough RBs on speed dial.

But my instincts tell me with the new KO rules that JS is going to be drafting a RB at some point in the draft to replace D. Dallas.

 

[BlueTalon]

Running. That's what straight line speed means.

Running in a straight line... how far exactly? 40 yards? 100 yards? 1/4 mile? Some other distance? Without knowing that, a 1 second difference in speed could be anything from insignificant to momentous.

You do know, don't you, that we have another RB on the roster already?

Why do so many people here seem to completely forget Kenny McIntosh exists?

 

[jammerhawk]

Perhaps b/c we never saw him play in any regular season game last season.

McIntosh is a very capable RB who was kinda stashed on IR last season. I suspect he'll be VERY ready to go as soon as the hitting starts for real.

I didn't forget about him but because RBs are always injured you always stack the position.

 

[Shane Falco]

I think they generally have at least 4 rb's on the active roster. Right now they've got 3.
