Re: Do we need to address the RB position

I think health concerns for the duration of the season are the biggest concern here. With Duece and Reggie spelling each other, we don't need Duece at 100%. As long as Duece can still pound the middle and fall forward on 2nd and 3rd down, we'll be ok - we'll use Reggie for big play potential. Of course, this will make our play calling more predicatble.

The problem is Reggie is a bit too small to be an every down back for a running team (he'll end up hurt), and Duece's durability is a serious question mark. I like Thomas, but he isn't a fanchise back.

If I had to guess, by week 8 we'll be wishing we'd got ourselves an every down type back. Though we could do worse than Reggie and Thomas as our starting pair.
