Benjamin is out. Hunt, next man up?

That 09 team 🏆 was kinda full @ RB too.

Reggie, Hamilton, Deuce, Bell & Pierre.

Run it back ✌️.

Not sure it's a fair comparison. Reggie and Pierre, OK. Deuce had one foot in retirement. Bell and Hamilton...meh.

Williams, Kamara, Miller ... and a no name rb4. We fixing to eat in the running game.

Gotcha.

Circle back to 2011 back field : Ivory, Pierre T, Ingram and Sproles.

The point here is to have MORE RBs than not enough.

I felt we were never quite the same again after Sproles left. Thought we unlocked his value here and discovered Pierre and Ivory. Not bad.

It was all good until Bell wore the wrong cleats

Hard pass for me. Williams is proven and can carry the load. We have a soils rookie backup and two fillers behind him. Unless they plan on trading AK now that teams know how long he’s going to miss.

LOL! Where did trading Kamara come from? He carries $24.772 million in dead cap if traded now. Put the pipe down.

We're deep at RB because we're 11 practices into training camp.

There's something to be said for fresh legs and the right matchups.

So true here. From my understanding, Hunt hasn't racked up as many miles vs some of the other RBs his age.

17 games + the possibility of post season is an absolute grind at this level.

The bag he wants is way too big. It's always the case.
