Morrow is a longshot to make the team. Penny and Carson are the top 2 ballcarriers, and then you have both Prosise and McKissic as 3rd down options. McKissic can also contribute on ST to enhance his value. Morrow's tight window of opportunity is probably connected to Prosise getting injured.
We have a nice one two punch at the running back position, which is desired when you are a run oriented team.
Rashaad Penny, that damn bust.
Yeah, Chris Carson being really good doesn't make Penny less good - a concept that some are wrestling with.A lot of fans seem to want to label Penny as Christine Michael 2.0. But the truth is that when Penny has been healthy he's generally been effective. He has a 6.0 YPC on 130 carries in his career. The big problem for him is A) everytime he starts to get things going he gets hurt and B) Chris Carson is ahead of him on the depth chart.

Yep, Penny jacked that up for sure. Offensive mistakes all over the place yesterday.Another thing to consider if we are comparing oddball things both RB's did yesterday; Carson had the extremely odd hand off that was fumbled where he didn't even look like he knew he was involved in the play. A total brain fart from Carson on that play that cost us the ball. But Penny had an almost equally absurd play on the one Wilson sack where he totally ignored the rusher coming from the edge (actually turned his head and didn't even see him somehow) and Wilson got smoked (blindsided really) from behind. We were extremely lucky that Russ didn't lose the ball there and/or get injured. I have no idea how Penny couldn't see that guy coming and at least chip him a little bit. Odd.
So both backs had mental lapses yesterday.

That Wilson sack looked like a completely botched play from the start. Seemed like either Wilson or Penny or the center had the timing completely off.
