Will the 49ers coaching staff finally split carries among our talented RBs?

Originally posted by blm7754:
The main reason why carries haven't been split more is because Hunter and James suck in pass protection. They only get into the game on designed runs or gimmick plays. Our base packages are always Gore because if Kaep audibles into a pass, they want a RB in the game that can pick up a blitz.


That said, if Carlos Hyde or Lattimore prove to be competent at picking up the blitz, they will get carries.

Hunter and James are terrific receivers but we don't use them to catch passes. Our coaches are not very good at making use of the talents of our RB's. They are great at many things but not at that.

It depends if old man Gore starts breaking down.

We could have Adrian Peterson and Shady McCoy but they would still give all the touches to Gore
