Our running back situation

Washington and Zenner were BEASTS. So glad we cut Ozigbo. His unbelievable catch in the last preseason game was "nothing to see here" .

It was good to see both Washington and Zenner out there getting snaps. They both looked good out there. Murray had a statement game. We just might be more stable at RB than most of us ever thought possible to start the season without Ingram.

and that Kamara's not as banged up with Ingram still in B&G...

Perception is not reality.

The thing with Kamara is that while it’s awesome that he doesn’t go down on first contact, those hits add up. He takes a beating.

Murray is the type of RB that gets better and stronger as the game goes on with more carries.

If Kamara is fit fir this week just light touches change of pace/3rd downs for me. Let the man heal lotta games left

He's carried the ball an average of 3.4 times more per game this year than last.

Yup. And 2018 was with Ingram missing the first 4 games.

I habe no doubt that Kamara can carry the load. But not while he's injured. Hope he rests.
