Re: I wonder
I think they'll use both of them. Reggie will still be there but he's either a decoy or he splits out at Wide Receiver.
What's going to happen is we'll at least have 1 good power runningback on the team at anytime. If either PT or Bell gets hurt, we have a power rb backup. |

Regardless of who your backs are, keeping the opposing defense off balance and on their heals is the key to championship offense. I like watching the defense confused for once! |

Re: I wonder
Bush will still need several carries a game if he's going to be a legit decoy. He's still going to run the ball. My money is on PT to start, with Bell taking 6-8 carries to keep PT from being overused, and Bush taking 8-10 carries to keep the defense off balance and provide that home-run opportunity (and yes, pass protection too). After that it depends on who is healthiest.

Re: I wonder
We need the screen game to start working with Reggie, thats where he i sth emost dangerous. Its not a pure passplay and its not a run play, just as he is neither a pure runningback or a reciever. Get him space and get him the ball.
