Do we need to address the RB position

First of all, it only takes about 6 months now to recover from an ACL injury, and a bit longer for microfracture. Deuce will be healthy by camp.

Secondly, I completely agree with SFIAH, that Reggie can be great, but he needs to be used right. The play calling between last year and 2006 was night and day. In 2006, they used traditional play calling with Deuce, and kept teams off guard with Reggie. #25 will be at his best when opposing defenses don't know what's coming. In 2007, I knew what almost every play would be when Reggie was in there at RB (swing pass, screen, draw, or run off the tackle). A healthy Deuce means a more effective Reggie, and an unstoppable offense. Reggie can be this offense's featured weapon, but you have to use him right.

I also want to say I'm not sold on PT. I think he's a pretty good player, but I'm not ready to say he should be our feature running back next year because of one game against Chicago.
