Personally, running back is way down on the position groups of concerns. If the O-line is good, running backs are a dime a dozen, and I think that Kirby will have the rotation and the roles for the different backs all set in time for the Albama game.

I don't know. The days of us being shitty at the position are probably over for a while but the difference in a dime a dozne back, a pretty good back, adn a great back is massive.

Look no further than the first part of last seaoson while Dajiun was hurt. Our leading rusher game 1 was kendall with less than 60 yards. GAme 2 was RodRob with less than 40. Both games were against scrubs and Beck didn't throw for 300 in either one of them. Having to hope Dllon Bell or someone could make a play here and there isn't really a great feelign int eh backfield.

Having a Kenny or Zamir or Cook (not even going to mention guys like chubb or gurley) not only opens up your offense a ton in what it can do, but it means that second wave of guys (like Daijuan) that come in late are even MORE effective. Having a bonafide star at RB is massive, even with the game going further and furhter away from the run game. If we hand't gotten Etienne this year we'd be truly fricked right now.
