Mafah would be the replacement if Williams is injured. Broaddus has brought up though that if Blue proves himself that he should be the early down back and then Williams would be the 3rd down back and closer like Marion Barber was to Felix Jones.
I don't think they paid Javonte to relegate him to 3rd downs. I could see that being flipped, actually.
It looks like Mafah would start if Williams went down. Blue is number 2 to Williams and Mafah.
Where did you read that? I do not see a world where we have 2 newbies as RB1 and RB2...if so, we're toast or would need to pick up a vet
Luepke still has a role in the offense. But is it enough to justify a roster spot. Especially if Mafah can do what Luepke can do.
Post of your life!!! Exactly what I was thinking, can we maybe use a TE in his role to get these guys all on the field for game day
They are fine with Williams and Mafah in my opinion.
I think Mafah is going to be a good running back here if he gets his chance. Leupke ain't no slouch either he's just not used much. Blue makes everyone on the field look slow, and when he gets Schottenheimer's and Klayton Adams total trust he will have his share of highlight type plays. Davis makes his share of good runs as well . Williams is a true bell cow and the starter, this running back room looks pretty good, the cupboard is far from bare behind Williams.
I agree, it would be sweet if Williams could get some rest , to save his legs. I love Leupke, I think he needs to be used a little more at times especially in short yardage plays running the ball. And I like fullbacks who are good receivers who can get you some first downs when you really need one.
Do better, Coogi.
