"Who Stays and Who Goes?" - Running Back Edition

[jdynamite]

The first 2 are obvious with Rice & Pierce... My third vote went to A.Allen only because he so valuable as a special teams player... I've always supported Damien Berry as a RB from "The U", I thought he would find himself on the playing field by now...

Last preseason I was split in 3 ways while rooting for players to make the Roster, On offense I loved what I saw from Bobby Rainey in the running game and Thompson as a WR, then on Defense Omar Brown...

Allen worked his way back on the team because of special teams

RB3 will come down to Allen and Rainey. I dont think Berry has much of a chance tbh, I just havent seen anything out of him to give him an advantage here. I would lean towards Allen because he is such a proficient ST player, but Rainey offers more as a runner. If something were to happen to Rice, Rainey could step in and be a nice 3rd down back IMO. It's possible we carry 4 RBs as well.

I agree with this 100%

Anthony Allen w as so good on special teams clearing lanes for jacoby it may be hard to let him go. He can be ur back up fullback, 3rd rb and a huge special teams contributor.

It's gonna be tough to predict what they do this yr with so many versatile players. Juice can be ur FB/hb/3rd TE but then what happens with bajema. And then do u stash furstenberg on the PS.

and if u keep bajema and juice and Allen can you justify keeping rice, pierce, and Rainey?

I'm glad I don't make those decisions. Deciding between a Rainey or an Allen or a bajema or keeping an extra young WR is a really really tough call.
