We are currently starting Diggs and Davis (even if Davis is dinged he's playing) with Crowder, McKenzie, and Shakir all behind them. I don't think WR is a concern yet.
Zappe is like Peterman from what i saw in the preseason. He'll throw it on time whether there is a defender or not. Probably see a couple pics from him I'm guessing.
So we bring in Barkley and and pay him millions to carry the ball 8 times a game? That's about what a starting rb here gets. I'm not going to argue Barkley ins't better but I will argue we don't use rb's enough to warrant using the resources to get him.
If we don't run the ball when we are not in 3rd and 1 why would we all of a sudden be great at running when we get in short yardage. We are just a throw all the time team and that makes us predictable on all downs and out of rhythm in short yardage when we actually want to be able to get a yard.
Our backs have 5 carries it's probably still hard to say we have no runnin game. We just have no commitment to the run. Up, down, healthy, injured, good weather or bad we simply do not run the ball.
