Our RB situation...?

[Gator Fever]

What do people think about how the RBs are being used. I admit I didn't look at it close during this game but I see at a couple of other places that seems to be a hot topic with most people saying its clear it should be Johnson and Etienne getting the vast majority of the downs and carries. I have looked at the Utah game quite a bit and I would agree for that game but I guess I would want to see more what Wright looked like this game to have a firm opinion if him starting right now is a courtesy for him.

Johnson and ETN need the bulk of the carries.

Wright is the 3rd best back on the roster but he’s going to play a lot. He’s one of the leaders of the team and has been a captain. It is what it is.

Agreed Paco

I have never liked RB by committee if you also have a running QB. Just not enough balls to go around to keep guys happy. We tried this last year and how many games did we win? Looks like Johnson and Etienne are the best 2 options. Etienne is your home run hitter with breakaway speed. You better keep him happy cause he can start anywhere.

In the NIL era, it isn't carries and starts that matter, it's $$$. So while I agree we need to keep him happy, I don't think sharing carries is an issue. In fact, I'd say that sharing carries is probably preferred over being a workhorse. RB's have a very short lifespan in the NFL, so kids now want to go with lots of tread still on the tires, if you know what I mean.

TT, maybe you should go review the 2007 3,000+ rushing yards stats, and then get back to us...
