Seems like the offense have evolved past the OMac role. Not used much last season, not really going after a speed back this class or last. Am I wrong?

Or we'll just be using WRs to fill that role. Isn't that what Truitt is supposed to do?

I wouldn't say it's past that role, but it may be used a little less now. Grant still got his sweeps last year.

I think we might see some smaller, speey WR's start to get those in the future - i.e. Truitt. I think using a WR in that role keeps the defense on their toes a little more. With the RB out there, he's not going to be able to run routes like a WR would, or at least not as well, but with a WR, you can always change the play and send them out on a route out of that same formation. A guy like Truitt gives you a little more flexibility there.

I honestly don't know CB. This offense is predicated on both being able to physically beat the poop out of teams and have players good in space even if top end speed is not elite. Truitt has great speed and good in space. Roc is great in space while being a touch slower. Both should do well to compliment the physicality of our O.
