Not a big concern but I’m a huge believer in a good running game opening up the passing game, even for a team as experienced in passing as this one. What do you predict for the running game for this season? Who gets most of the snaps, and who could be the surprise breakout?

June 8, 2015 by Mike Dussault

It’s really anyone’s guess right now. Obviously Blount is the one proven piece that remains, but I always felt he worked best in a complimentary role, though he seemed to do just fine at the end of last year. Maybe going against the Colts helps that.

I think the biggest thing is locking down the receiving back role in replacement of Shane Vereen. That’s such a huge role and one that requires a playmaker with smarts. Ideally, Bolden continues his fill-in duty.

Cadet and White are the two obvious candidates, but Mike Reiss pointed out last week that we shouldn’t rule out Dion Lewis either. I remember being really nervous about letting Woodhead walk and giving this job to Vereen, but that worked out fine. It’s just a question of how much of a threat the new guy will be or how much dropoff there will be.

I think Gaffney or Gray will be fine to get some carries after Blount. I can see one, but probably not both, of them making it.
