Seahawks Sign RB Carlos Hyde

[chris98251]

Well he can carry the load if needed and him and Carson are both violent runners, he can catch the ball also, may not be a real natural receiver but isn't going to tip off people either, we have Dallas an unknown but has to be more a contributor then Prosise was and Homer. This is really a pretty stacked backfield if they get healthy. Penny is a while off with this signing also, you committed to Hyde for a reason.

I like this move too.

I am not sure there is any reason to wait around for Penny and his limited flashes as an average backup RB. I’m confident there are a dozen or two UDFAs that can give us more than Penny ever did and even more that will be cut or put on practice squads

Did anyone see the story about Hyde having major surgery and may not be available week one? I know we got him pretty cheap but pick up another guy who was hurt and coming off injury?

Every football player is injured. You just don’t hear about it. Kinda how no one knew Hyde even needed surgery last year but played 16 games.

Though the stories I see don’t say “major” surgery. Is that a direct quote? If so, where?

Was really hoping for Freeman, he's a player that can be effective coming out of the backfield for a Wilson Dump and handle perhaps 12 to 15 carries per game. We need that type of player.

DJ Dallas looks to have those skills. Whether or not he can bring them at an NFL level, we shall see.
I'm on board with the Hyde pickup. Seems like a good fit.

I like this signing . Rumored to be 1 year for 4 mill . Makes me think that Penny might be out quite awhile and maybe we say goodbye to Prosise .

What's surprising to me is that Hyde's only been in the league since 2014 -- feels like he's been around for a decade! Pretty solid at getting 900+ yards, 4.0 average and 6-8 TDs a year. If he splits time with Carson, that should keep both from getting too nicked up by December.

The $4 million deal is loaded with incentives, so if he is at the end of his career, it won't end up costing us that much. He had shoulder surgery in February. But if we can squeeze another good year or two out of him, it will be well worth the $$$.

Agree that it doesn't look good for Penny this year. Hopefully a full year off will get him ready for 2021.

I don't what RB you saw before Penny got hurt
and I don't see many with his skill and talent.
I want Penny back at 100% if it takes 6 more weeks so be it.
As for Hyde I like him as a plug in but you know if our RBs
keep getting hurt as usual then the Beast will be back.

Guessing no Marshawn after Hyde.

 

[Sports Hernia]

I’m sure Beastmode will be an option if there is injury’s.

Hyde had torn Labrum surgery.

Welcome El Guapo.

 

[DHawk]

I like it. For the most part, the guy hasn't seen significant time in the starting role and he's been pretty good in his limited snaps.

 

[TwilightError]

Weak. I’d rather have Marshawn filling the hasbeen veteran role. Atleast he actually really has been someone in the league.

 

[QuahHawk]

I was pretty disappointed we did not go RB higher in the draft as this seemed like a significant need. Hyde is a very good signing as he able to carry a full load. Agould take pressure off needing Carson or Penny to rush back before they are ready. A guys how can run inside, enough wiggle for the outside and has had some success catching the ball. A bit upgrade over a Mike Davis type.

Let us compare the differences between the two last year, shall we? Oh, wait, you don't want to? Then do a 180.

Edit: I love Marshawn, but let's not pretend that one is greater than the other when one has a 1000+ yard season last year and the other hasn't, despite their differences. THESE ARE ONLY FACTS, AFTER ALL. Prove me wrong, I DARE YOU.

Teams gave up on Hyde although he has been productive, why?

He had a shoulder injury that he had surgery on in February, maybe that's why.

BOB didn’t need Hyde after stealing the corpse of David Johnson, and for the low, low price of just his All-Pro wideout.

 

[jammerhawk]

Big back!

Hard runner!

Like this addition. He adds quality depth, and could easily take the 1 spot from Carson which will make them both better.

Hope he can stay healthy.
