Purpose of my thread is to get input on utilizing Duke more than Hyde or a Hyde type RB if he doesn't return next season. I do not care about whether he will be back rather just his type of runner. Age and contract numbers are not important for my question rather production IE stats and actions on field such as blocking for QB and being a safety valve and ability to get down field as a receiver offering more complete package.
2019 stats only:
Duke Johnson 5'9" 207 lbs 16 games 48.5% offensive snaps 83/410 at 4.9 per & 2 TDs with receiving 44/410 @ 9.3 and 3 TDs * fewer snaps his avg rushing decreases greatly over the season.
Carlos Hyde 6' 230 16 starts 245/1,070 @ 4.4 6 TDs 10/42 catches @4.2.
His last seven games including Bills for the most part has been terrible; Denver was good at 5.21 next at Tennessee was 26/104 @ 4.0 and a 4.19 vs Colts; the rest were 3.0 and 3.25 and 1.7 and 1.59.
I think I would rather have Johnson getting majority of snaps particularly when we go empty backfield so much. Can he hold up to greater workload?
Question one..do you agree? Question two should we eliminate a Hyde type and go with another Duke Johnson type to alternate with Duke? I'm not sure if Duke can offer 245 carries but could we be as productive with two RBs splitting 245ish? Also take into account the receiving advantage.
