[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 139058, member: 195"] One of the nice things about a two-back system is that if a running back gets banged up, which is bound to happen at some point in the season, you've already got a guy who has been getting plenty of carries in different situations who can step in. It's not as disruptive as having a guy who's been sitting the bench suddenly becoming the starter. The running game is all about continuity. We see that in the backs as well as the offensive line. It's great to have a really first-rate running back on your team, but what we've seen a lot of in this off-season is players who are a notch or two below that level getting huge contracts or being acquired for large amounts of compensation, although you have to give credit to the Jets for getting Thomas Jones just by swapping picks in the second round. As for the Pack, I think Morency can be part of a two-back system, but I don't feel great about Herron or Beach. Actually, Beach may have more potential than Herron. Clearly there needs to be another guy added to the mix, preferably on the first day of the draft. This is what many people have been predicting all along anyway, so I'm less worried about running back than I am about a couple other positions, namely safety and tight end. A second-tier free agent could still provide the boost that is needed by the receiving corps. [/QUOTE]
