the Philadelphia Eagles Alshon Jeffery Jersey , Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is eager for his next opportunity to show he’s capable of carrying the rushing load.“I’m young. I’ve got a lot (more) carries under my belt. I can take a lot of load if they want me to. I’m just happy to get the opportunity more than anything,” Penny said.Penny rushed for 129 yards on 14 carries with a touchdown against the Eagles last Sunday. Penny had three carries go for at least 20 yards, including a 58-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter that effectively sealed a 17-9 victory over Philadelphia.“It was great to see him come through and make some big plays and big runs and looked so darn fast on his touchdown run,” coach Pete Carroll said.“He came through beautifully. It was really a sweet game for him.”Penny was Seattle’s first-round draft pick a season ago, but he’s been overshadowed by Chris Carson during his first two seasons in the NFL. A broken finger in training camp served as an early setback and adjusting to Seattle’s shotgun-heavy attack after playing in a mostly two-back offense at San Diego State was another hurdle to overcome.Meanwhile, Carson has been mostly stellar as the team’s lead rusher. That reality has forced Penny into a complementary role where he’d only seen 85 total snaps in seven games played all season entering last week’s game in Philadelphia. But Penny was ready to make the most of his chances when they came against the Eagles.“It was just the opportunity,” Penny said. “Finally able to run the ball and get in a groove.”Penny said he’s lighter this season after committing to a nutrition plan throughout the season. He continually gained weight as his rookie season progressed and it didn’t allow him to produce the way he wanted to. He’s now at 230 pounds and is able to maintain his nimbleness.“He sure has an explosive style that shows up,” Carroll said. “It’s his burst, he’s got really good feet, really unique http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-lane-johnson-jersey , quick feet. ... He’s a big kid running the football and then his burst is just really obvious. We’ve seen it a number of times when he’s taken off and made big plays for us.”Penny made cornerback Rasul Douglas miss in open space on a 21-yard carry early in the fourth quarter. Two plays later, he sliced through a well-blocked front and sprinted by safety Rodney McLeod into the clear. A feeble tackle attempt from Ronald Darby came at the 13-yard line as Penny bounced off the Eagles cornerback and walked in for the 58-yard touchdown that gave Seattle a 17-3 lead.“We have a lot of love for Penny,” left tackle Duane Brown said. “We know that he’s a home run hitter and he showed it. We were waiting. We were getting some runs, you know maybe 4 (yards) here or 5 (yards) there. We knew eventually we could break a big one and it happened.”Carson has just six carries of at least 20 yards all season despite having more than four times as many carries on the year. Penny had three against the Eagles alone and four on the year overall, including a 38-yard touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Penny’s ability for long runs is one area where he stands out and the Seahawks will hope to get more of those plays out of Penny moving forward.“He’s ready to go and we’re going to see if we can get some more out of it,” Carroll said.Eagles’ DC Jim Schwartz talks tackling deficiencies, defends Jalen Mills (again) Let’s call a spade a spade; Adam Thielen had his way with the Philadelphia Eagles defense on Sunday. Need to move the sticks on a 3rd and 1? Short pass outside to Thielen for 3 yards. Need a big statement coming out of halftime? Long pass to Thielen for 68 yards. Short passes with lots of yards after the catch kept the Vikings on the field all day long. Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz hasn’t seem too phased by some of the struggles through the first quarter of the season, but it became obvious on Sunday that unless some MAKES A TACKLE, offenses are going to eat them alive.Schwartz talked to reporters on Tuesday about some of the concerns they have and how they plan to improve as the head into division play.Here’s what the defensive coordinator had to say:On Michael Bennett’s penaltySchwartz called it a really unfortunate play, and noted that they try and coach the guys to stay within the strike box Womens Nelson Agholor Jersey , but sometimes they get knocked off their feet or what have you and that’s not always possible.He continued that whether Bennett forcibly knocked Cousins off his feet is a judgement call, and Michael Bennett was trying to do the right thing, but Schwartz knows that it was a critical call in that game. He noted that you don’t always get the call in your favor and you just have to deal with it.You could tell that Schwartz was holding back some colorful words on his true feelings about these types of penalties, but he echoed what he has all season: It’s not their job to officiate, it’s up to them to play to the officiant.But for the most part, he said, the Eagles have avoided some of those questionable calls compared to other teams in the league, but this one “bit us”.On rookie Avonte MaddoxSchwartz said that the rookie brought some energy to the field and shows great range in his play style. He emphasized what he said last week, that playing nickel for the Eagles is pretty similar to playing safety.He also noted that when Corey Graham got hurt against the Vikings it changed the dynamic for how much Maddox would play, but that he was up for the challenge. Schwartz also said that if the end of the game had gone differently Zach Ertz Jersey , we might be pointing at his big play in the open field earlier in the day as keeping four points off the board.Making that stop and controlling the situation was a sign for Schwartz of good things to come from Avonte.Schwartz was also asked what the rookie’s ceiling looks like and if they would consider keeping him at safety moving forward. The DC noted that Maddox isn’t the ideal size for the position, but he is the ideal quickness and range, and having that dual skillset is invaluable.“The things we liked from him as a nickel we also like from him as a safety,” Schwartz continued. “We’ll see going forward, I mean that’s where we are right now.”On Jalen MillsSchwartz was asked about Mills performance on Sunday, and the defensive coordinator continued to support his corner. He noted that Jalen has made a lot of plays for the Eagles, including against the Vikings. Schwartz specifically pointed out the first third-down stop, where Mills gets his hands on the ball and played great technique.Schwartz also took the blame for the big play he gave up, saying “I’d put that more on me than him”.He noted that he put Mills on a big island and were being aggressive, but it didn’t work out.He continued to talk about how that’s just the nature of the position http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-fletcher-cox-jersey , occasionally you’re going to get beat, but Schwartz felt like Mills bounced back from that play and battled. The defensive coordinator also pointed out that corner is the one position that people are going to see each and every mistake. Schwartz admitted that mistakes from linebacker or linemen might not be as noticeable to viewers, but when the corner whiffs, it’s there for everyone to see and they can’t hide it.“That’s just the hat those guys wear, and they can’t lose confidence because they gave up a play.”Schwartz was then asked if Mills needs to do a better job keeping his emotions in check — seemingly addressing his back and forth with the Vikings receiver, and then Fletcher Cox — but the DC didn’t bite. He said it’s a competitive game and you want players who are fully invested and energized.If anything, he said he likes that Mills was combative and pushed back. Schwartz pointed out that the last thing you want is a corner that is shell-shocked and “Jalen’s never been that way”.He was asked again to detail Mills’ specific performance against the Vikings, but Schwartz quipped that he doesn’t do that in front of the media — as we all know. Bottom line, he thinks Mills played with good technique, and some of the calls were on Schwartz for being too aggressive in some situations.On defensive schemeSchwartz agreed that the problem wasn’t so much Kirk Cousins getting the ball out so quick on Sunday Womens Jake Elliott Jersey , but rather the yards after the catch that became the real issue. He said there’s some scheme-type stuff that he can help the guys with, but that it’s limiting the yards after catch that is the real priority.He continued to point out that most of the catches were on short-yard passes, but the runs they were making afterward were killer. Schwartz did say that later in the game he was happy with some of the adjustments they made, resulting in a few nice stops on the sideline.“We have to be a good tackling team,” Schwartz emphasized.Related to that, he said that’ll be a big sticking point as the prepare to face guys like Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley. Schwartz noted that Barkley isn’t your typical receiver, but he gets a lot of short passes and is able to really make the most of his room after the catch.
