A more balanced rushing attack is needed and necessary for 2020.
And there it is...

How many times were we burned by a former player? Nature seeks balance and serves up the opportunity, but Payton, just like Jim Mora, wants to show he's in charge and smartest, so bang away with Kamara?!?

After investing a first and second round pick (compounded by two more 2s with BountyGate), plus years of development, WHY let Ingram leave and bring in Murray if you're not going to trust Murray with the ball?!?

NOT Running Kamara inside consistently will keep Kamara fresh...

Murray was running hard and had some nice carries.

Payton knows best though......lol

Sean needs to self evaluate his problem with giving more touches to Murray. AK might not last the season with us running him consistently between the tackles. Murray deserves more touches and AK would have a longer shelf life. If we sign him to a long term contract and continue to overuse him like we do then we'll be paying a butt load of money to a player getting a check from his new team as well.

Gotta take the Reggie Bush approach to Kamara and have a Pierre Thomas/Mike Bell to handle the heavy lifting.
