I would have rather kept Bradford than any portal RB's, but even 4 is a little light when you don't have a QB that's gonna run for a thousand yards.

It's not light. We've been scared because of the last 2 years, but that is not the norm. Let's just go to 2020 and 2021 where we didn't have QB that ran much. We used 4 RBs total in 2020 with the 4th RB only getting 5 carries. In 2021, we used 6 RBs, but the 5th and 6th RBs totaled 3 carries. The 4th RB had 16 carries and the 3rd RB had 23 carries. In the run heavy 2017, the #3 RB carried the ball 19 times. Even if you were to take half the carries from Etling and gave them to the #3 and #4 RBs, #3 would have 37 carries and #4 would have 27 carries.

Every year I listed, ran the ball more per game than we did last year.
