He had another promising start and then they didn’t run the ball once from 8:11 in the second until almost the fourth quarter. And then suddenly Penny gets a bunch of carries. I do not understand the personnel decisions at all.

I’m hoping he was injured tonight just because that would give us a logical explanation.

Obviously not a bad injury; I’m just wanting an answer.

Bizarre.

In another thread it was suggested that this is how they divide carries. One player per quarter or half is the running back. Ridiculous if true. It's like perpetual preseason.

RB by committee isn't my favorite thing in general.

“Gassed” according to Pete.

Screw you Pete. Liar.

Simple. Pete wants to see what he has in Penny and can only see that with Penny in the game getting carries when it counts. Penny showed this game that he can play at an NFL level. Lynch he's not, at least not yet, but if Penny can be a threat in his own style, it changes the offense for the better.

Yeah this irritates me. You don't voluntarily go away from the hot hand at running back. The first game I was going to give the benefit of the doubt, but now?

Makes no sense. He had 6 carries. And everyone talked about how great his conditioning was in training camp. Extremely poor excuse.

All those sprints on punt coverage after all the quick 3 and outs--those can really tire a guy out.
