Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 878676">That's not terribly helpful without looking into the specific cases--player capabilities, roles, injuries.  I've already mentioned a couple of situations where the Packers would carry 4 RBs.  Perhaps Dillon is perceived as not ready or too risky to take over Williams' job right out of the box, kinda like how they started Taylor over Jenkins.  It's not like you'd get Dillon on the practice squad without somebody signing him away.  There's the unlikely proposition that they play Jones a lot out of the slot or wide.  How many of those teams with 4 "halfbacks" <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> have one who is in essence a WR swing man.  There's injuries.  Clearly the IR guys (and Zeke as a holdout or somebody suspended for opening day) are irrelvant to the discussion.  If Jones, Dillon or Williams cannot play on opening day, for whatever reason, you're going to see the other two on the roster, and the game day roster, for at least the time being.So, come opening day, if Jones, Dillon and Ervin are fit as a fiddle, the team commits to Dillon taking Willams snaps, Jones is not going to get more WR snaps, and they want to give Ervin a few more touches while being the emergency #3, it is hard to see how Williams will fit.</blockquote>
