Seahawks Mailbag: What happens now to Rashaad Penny? Was Michael Dickson off his game Sunday?

Time for another Seahawks Tuesday mailbag.

Q: What does Chris Carson getting almost all of the carries Sunday mean for first-round pick Rashaad Penny?

A: That’s a really intriguing question whose answer is probably going to be evolving as the season wears on.

For all the “gassed’’ controversy of the Bears game and the overall discussion of how the two were used the first two weeks, what’s clear is that the Seahawks wanted to get both Carson and Penny a fair amount of touches and then see what happened.

Against Dallas there was obviously a more-concerted effort to get Carson going and he had seven carries on Seattle’s first series — tying or bettering the number he had in either of the first two games.
