Penny may be in line for more consistent work moving forward, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. "We are going to see if we can get more out of [Penny]," coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday.
Penny and starter Chris Carson split the offensive snaps almost down the middle during Sunday's 17-9 win at Philadelphia, with the former getting 30 to the latter's 31 (of 61 total). Taking advantage of a career-high share of those plays, Penny compiled 14 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown, while Carson gained 57 yards from scrimmage on his 12 touches and fumbled for a seventh time this season. Considering Penny still averaged 5.5 yards per carry even after discounting his 58-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter he seems deserving of a role. It remains to be seen whether Carroll will uphold his end of the bargain.
