2024 Miller v. Mims starting to feel a bit like 2007 Pittman v. Thomas

The whole running back situation is very confusing. It looks as though Hill is more of a running back than a tight end in this offense. Obviously, Kamara is the starter. Williams is the hammer. Is there even a spot for another running back? I’m somewhat impressed by Mims, but Robinson has had his moments. Should be interesting and also dependent on which players can be put on the PS.

Interesting that I just typed all this forgetting about Miller— and I really did forget about him. So, Kamara, Williams, Miller, Hill, Prentice? Not only confusing but unsettling.

I saw a lot of "I" in the preseason so I could easily see keeping Taysom as a flex plus a FB, 3 RBs and two or 3 other TEs on the starting roster (than depending on matchup we can dress an extra TE/RB/FB from the PSquad)...

So I am Guessing from those spots at least....

FB/TE/RB/QB4/WR/ST/RT/S Taysom
RB Alvin Kamara
RB Williams
RB Miller? or Mims? or Kibodi or Robinson?
FB Prentice? or maybe Kibodi

If they drop Prentice or if he gets hurt they might value the RB3 with the size to play FB over the more productive RB backup. This gives Taysom the flexibility to play anywhere and provides more access to injury depth. Based on what they have shown so far I would think the smaller RB goes on the PSquad and the larger RB doesnt get exposed to initial-53-roster waivers.
