I wonder if, with an upgraded O-line, DiMarco gets used in a blocking role for Shady the way Jerome Felton was supposed to do for us, like Felton did with Adian Peterson in Minnesota? Peterson made a lot of yards running behind Felton. Shady needs a good supporting cast to be effective (like he had in '16. '17). Perhaps we'll see DiMarco take more of that role? I also have this weird desire to see McCoy take a lateral from Gore, or visa versa, at some point during the season. I know that probably won't happen, but it'd be cool to see.
