It’s time to get serious about an RB2
One of the things that would help Pep and by extension help Mills, is to have a real RB2 that can be effective in both the pass and run games. I still believe DP isn't getting many touches in the 3rd qtr and later because he's already gassed out and I'll believe otherwise when he plays the full game. Unfortunately this makes things predictable and defenses can start to play the pass instead of respecting the run if Rex is out there. With that being said, mixing in a true RB2 helps extend Pierce for not only the game but also the rest of the season while keeping the defense on their toes since they'll have to respect the run game through the 4th quarter.
With that being said, we have 4 6th round picks, there's guys on practice squads and we've worked guys out. Do y'all have any RBs you think we should consider? I honestly don't know other than Perine who visited. I know we're not expecting to win now but it's crucial for Mills' development and Pierce's health that we get a real RB.
Tldr: we need a real RB2 to keep the run game a threat through 4 qtrs to help Pep, Mills and Pierce. Any ideas who would be good in run and passing downs?
PS Mills and DP need to do a better job at selling the play action! No one's buying it and their piss poor attempt costed Nico Collins a potential TD vs the Broncos!
