[QUOTE="Fat Dogs, post: 878833, member: 12450"] I’m not certain of anything. I just think that a Dillon/Williams backfield is just as likely as a Jones/Dillon combo in 2021 so a lot is up in the air. Working all three into the mix this year isn’t a bad thing. We had 355 RB carries last season and we didn’t exactly blow the doors off teams. We lost three games but won nine by only one possession or fewer. I can easily see us having more opportunities to run out the clock in the second year of this offense so let’s bump it up to an even 400 to distribute. Jones is our best back but 236 carries is a little much for a back with durability issues his first 2 years in the league. You might argue that he’s our best player and should get more touches but he’s not a 220 lb back like most of these guys that carry the ball 200+. Decreasing his workload will only make him more explosive and save wear and tear on his body. Maybe they knock a few carries a game off and put him at 190. I think Dillon gets the 2nd most carries because Williams will be used more in the passing game. Maybe he gets around 130. That leaves 80 for Williams. Yes, that’s only 5 carries a game but he’ll also contribute 3 catches and will pass protect. These are generic guesses because I fully expect MLF to go with the hot hand. Keeping all 3 gives us a great insurance policy for injury. Ervin will be good for an occasional jet sweep or end around but nothing significant other than special teams IMO. Maybe your right and he will be the #3 emergency game day back but that’s no reason to get rid of a solid RB on a rookie deal. Worse case scenario, we keep him but don’t suit him up. Jones should get plenty of looks from the slot while Dillon or Williams is in the backfield. Why not? He’s a miss match nightmare for any D. I also don’t see Dillon as a fullback and agree that Deguara will be the lead blocker. Jones being a FA complicates our backfield situation. It’s anyone’s guess how it all plays out. [/QUOTE]
