I think a couple of the RBs on our roster can become the guy, but it's going to take a couple of games for that person to emerge. Turner has been our most productive back the last 2 years without being #1 in the depth chart, and I think it will continue to be that way until he's done playing. Rico should be our #1 guy, but hasn't played a full season yet. Ty'Son will more likely be on an even shorter leash than he was last season, and I think could end up not getting any PT for some of our games. I'm really interested to see if Boom red shirts Fenwick and/or Valentine this year, and how Denson is utilized in BMac's gameplan.

2018 predictions:
- Dowdle leads us in attempts and rush yards barring injury
- Turner leads us in all purpose yards and RB receptions
- Fenwick becomes the #1 if Rico is injured. He's the most talented RB on our roster
- Denson, Kinlaw, Williams are on the roster for depth

Boom and Bentley (dad) have four games to decide on those two. Gotta love the new rule.

This will be an interesting development.

I'm not sure who will emerge, but I don't think you can necessarily look at who I the best 'back'. If McClendon is true to his word for a faster offense and if there are more 4 wide sets, it'll simply be the back that doesn't screw up. I'd take a lower average per carry with the guy who knows where to line up and pick up a blitz over the RB who can break one every game. However, if McClendon wants more versatility and moves the RB out to the line or tosses more wheel routes, who knows?
