I think the the three headed monster is really .... a monster. I noted, again, that in the last preseason game I could call the running plays pretty easily. We haven't been bad running the ball but we haven't been very good either. I think the prob is worse with three RBs when we are in one back personnel. Last season it was dreadfully obvious - when ivory came in to the backfield defenses knew we were going to give him the rock and seemed to call the right plays against us.

This year it seems the same. We haven't seen much of PT yet but when we see Sproles it seems most often it will be a screen to him and when Ingram is out there it's going to be a hand off.

Now, yes, I did note they threw a screen to Ingram for a good play and they attempted to run Sproles up the gut. But these type plays are rare.

Personally I would rather we go to one headed monster that leaves opponents guessing. Ingram or PT could be that guy as they can catch screens and are strong runners. I'd play Sproles in two back personnel packages only.

When you have one guy out there most of the game it gets very difficult to determine when or what kind of play the RB is being used in. ( plus it would help my fantasy team! Ha!)

I'm not sure why we don't do this. Our current strategy has become pretty predictable in my opinion.
