Sherman took Carson out with the cheap shot then? :snack:

More like a hedge in case Penny can't go.

If he's already signed, then that means Penny can't go this week, and Davis is probably dealing with an injury as well.

Wow, Bo was available? Pretty cool.

With some good o-line blocking to bounce him outside, he can be a beast in open space.

So much for "the wealth" of RB talent we had. But hell, lets keep pounding the rock like no tomorrow....just not on 3rd and 1/2 yard. :irishdrinkers:

Available?

He was #14 from the last player taken in the draft (late 7th round), and has yet to play.

Yes....he was available, but does not look like he fits the part at all to me. Another far worse version of Alex Collins.

If this guy has to play....I fear we are in deep doo doo.

It won’t hurt to try. Pete’s made a career of coaching up late draft picks. Give em hell Bo!

Hopefully he's just a 2 week insurance policy until Penny gets back, and so Davis and Carson don't get over worked.

If he does play? It won't be more than 2-3 series per game.

Chris Carson was also a 7th round pick. I don't expect too much from Bo but I also wouldn't write off Pete seeing something in him and being able to unlock his talent.

But Bo Knows Football..................

6-2 235 powerback that can block with an injury history. We must be dinged up pretty good.

Report: Seahawks sign Bo Scarbrough off Jaguars practice squad

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks intend to sign running back Bo Scarbrough off the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad. The team will have to open up a roster spot to finish off the move, as they currently sit with a full 53-man roster. The Seahawks add Scarbrough to an already full stable of running backs even with Penny's absence in week 15's 26-23 loss.

Scarborough never quite lived up very high expectations in college. But he's part Chris Henry, and that's worth a look.

I think he's more Eddie Lacy then Chris Henry, but he'll do for a week or two until Penny's back.

Except Lacy is 5'11" 253 and Bo is 6'2" 235.
Many think the Hawks will trade or release Davis after this year as his contract is up. Perhaps John and Pete think he's the replacement.

Many? Who? You can't trade or release a player who doesn't have a contract with the team.

Its depth... Just like Pope, Spiller etc...

Davis as in Mike Davis our 3rd RB. I believe he has a contract. It's been said he's shown enough that another team might be willing to pay him more than we want to (as a third stringer).
