the seahawks should work to improve o-line and rb depth.
at running back, i'd say go with carson and penny, and scarborough.
Also, bring in 2 bigger 'fullback' types... the kind of guys where you know they'll at least get 2 yards whenever it's needed, regardless of the defense.
Speaking of bigger backs, Penny is a fairly big back. At 5'11" and 235#, Scarborough is a load.
Carson, Penny, and Scarborough could potentionally be a 3-headed monster. Anyway, after your mainline 1-3 rushers, i'd say bulk out the 4th and 4th spots with big backs.
And the o-line and blocking tight ends need to have sufficient back-ups.
If Penny could learn to break that 'first tackle', it would add another dimension to his game. This last season, Penny actually did that on one middle run. It was a 6 or 7-yarder where he broke a tackle or two.
But having a couple of big, slower backs is always a good idea... guys who can always get you 2 yards or more... or at least, that guaranteed yard so you know you can always get that 3rd or 4th and 1.
in the punting game, maybe they should put a big running back at kick returner. the league leading punt return average was 14+. lockett averaged 5+ if memory serves. what if you could put a big running back in there, with soft hands, and they could have a good return average, but without ever getting a td?
if you put penny in at punt returner, he might get a td.
hopefully the coaches will have the sense to convert prosise to wideout.
oh, the thing about scarborough is... does he still have it? he's had a couple of injuries along the way. if he's got any gas left in his tank, 5'11" and 235# is a beast... ymmv
