RoadFan Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I think modeling after the 49ers, a committee seems certain. Does anyone really know who the best RB on this team?!?! They all offer something different. I kinda like Ty Johnson the best. Just seems to get skinny and accelerate through the hole. Coleman is a zone scheme vet with speed. Not a big fan of his because he rarely makes anybody miss, but he can get involved in the passing game. Perine is the best short yardage runner. Carter is obviously talented and will mix in.

Joe W. Namath Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 It looks like out of the gate, Coleman and ty johnson will split duties. If either get injured or are ineffective, michael carter is up. Unfortunately, for now Perine is rb4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untouchable Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Coleman and Carter get the majority of the carries, Perine acts as the short yardage/goaline back, and Johnson is the 4th back with KR value. Josh Adams and the other fella are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 My favorite is Michael Carter and running behind both Becton and Vera-Tucker would become HR hitting. ● #4 in NCAA rushing yards last year. ● #1 in average yards per carry @ 8.0!. He's our best RB and most talented one too. Anyone have a video of his 18 yard run? Because I went apesh*t nuts over it. 10 carries for 52 rushing yards and at 5.2 yards per carry = #1 RB performance (from either team) tonight. Mekhi Becton will take him into daylight and into the house. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see much separation at all btwn the 4 backs. At this point, im not sure how u could make a case that one is better then the other. They all look like B running backs that are interchangeable.

I dont think either johnson or coleman is lasting 17 games so Carter will be in there eventually anyway. Bringing the rookie along a little slowly wouldnt be the worst idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot-Face Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 If I could, I would give Michael Carter all the touches, if you catch my drift. Particularly with the balls, if you know what I'm saying. He'd be pushing through a tight hole, if you're picking up what I'm laying down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, it’s tougher to judge right now until AVT is back. GVR has been pretty solid, but Feeny has been a nightmare and none of these guys have been able to rip a home run type run yet. I believe it will be Ty Johnson as the lead back with Coleman and Carter rotating in. Perine will get the “power back” role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethead Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I think Lafleur would like to have one of the rb's emerge as the clear rb1. If not, I think it's going to be a "hot hand" kind of deal which is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After TJ I see Coleman and Carter rotating in. Perine in the short yardage, grinder role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icer Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I voted Ty Johnson would get the most yards months ago, and I'm sticking to it. He fits this scheme perfectly and is efficient/young. Coleman I think will be used a fair bit as well. Perine will be buried on the depth chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you say this again, but slower? Much slower? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
