Redskins Training Camp Preview: Running Backs

I hope so. They need at least 3 backs toting the ball each and every game. The feature back is a thing of the past. There are probably 20-30 backs that could gain 1500 yards if they got all of their team's carries (Giants and Ravens have 3 each), but that formula doesn't work any more. Everyone needs to be a weapon, and everyone needs to be fresh down the stretch. No more running Portis into the ground.

I too like the idea of a greater committee approach but try convincing Portis of that.

It's been widely reported that the Skins want a change of pace back with Felix Jones-type speed. So, I really hate to say it, but I think Rock is gone. If Aldridge or Dorsey show breakaway speed and the ability to return kicks, I think Rock will be among the final cuts.

Agreed. And while I don't want to see the Rock the man go, Rock the player may be at the end for us.

Well it's almost camp time so I guess it's time for that annual discussion about how Rock is getting cut.

8 years later he's still here.

im surprised Zorn didnt try to run Cartwright some last season. but then again, he barely ran anyone but Portis
