I think all 3 have Pro potential.

But we need our best horse to find rythym to support w developing/problematic Oline and not-yet-matured QB level of play.

This is one reason I don't like the number/leadership tradition.

It creates expectations that shouldnt be placed.

With Burrow last year, Curry would be more than fine. Curry later his year maybe with Brennan as well.

But right now?

Give me TDP for 60-80% of the touches.

I’m in this camp as well.

But I still like all 3 backs a lot.

I see a lot of people saying the issue is that we're changing them out too much, but I think the biggest problem is that we aren't getting them in space. Emery had 3 receptions and the other 2 had none. I think the rotation actually will work very well if we get them in the open field. MSU was getting pressure and we didn't run a single screen to the backs. I just don't get it.

Agreed, we need to get back to smash mouth run first. We dont have the personal for what we did last year. Ride TDP, dude is built; been in weight room this offseason

TDP was clearly the best option yesterday. It’s not even a debate at this point. TDP was the second best last year, and I think he should be moved into the RB1 spot for this season.

I liked Davis-Price the most too, but Curry actually had the highest YPC at 4.3.

Because we don’t have a good OC. There is a damn good reason no one has tried to poach Steve E for OC.

I actually liked emery the best. Was the quickest in the hole.

I kind of agree that he was most consistent. But am I the only one who saw like 2-3 hard af impressive darting runs from emery? Like for real I feel like I got numbers mixed up or something. There was some extremely impressive runs that should have been loses and turned into 3-6 yards

Emery needs to change positions, he’s not an sec back, neither is curry.

Our coaching staff has absolutely no idea what to do with our running backs

Curry had more yards per carry, and also had the longest run of the three backs.

I'd probably make TDP the #1 guy personally, but the overall running game didn't really show enough yesterday for me to say there's no debate.

I agree. He still doesn’t have great vision or make the first guy miss enough. But he has best combination of tools

I like Curry the least. Unless he has a head of steam he’s easy to tackle. Can’t move laterally and is sluggish to get going
