IMO McClellan is the best pure RB and he was last year prior to the injury. Gibbs is more of an Alvin Kamara type though and of course needs to be on the field as much as possible. But McClellan’s playing time is no accident.Ok, I thought Gibbs was going to be The Man this year in our offense. Started great against Texas, and then, they stopped using him. Is something going on?
McClellan seems to be getting the important runs as a RB.
They complement each other. Gibbs is better in space; McClellan is more the Downhill guy.Ok, I thought Gibbs was going to be The Man this year in our offense. Started great against Texas, and then, they stopped using him. Is something going on?

Gibbs is not a Najee Harris type running back. He's lightweight, quick to the outside, and catches well. He won't be running the ball 20 or 30 times a game. McClellan and Williams are more the power runners. There's a place for all three.I feel like we were saving Gibbs for the stretch we are entering this week.
Good analogy , I liken the situation To the Saints a few years ago when they had Ingram and Kamara in their thier prime.IMO McClellan is the best pure RB and he was last year prior to the injury.

McClellan was not better than Brian Robinson.IMO McClellan is the best pure RB and he was last year prior to the injury. Gibbs is more of an Alvin Kamara type though and of course needs to be on the field as much as possible. But McClellan’s playing time is no accident.
The future north-south RB - and at some point this year if he gets his east-west (pass pro) ironed out, he'll contribute in the present. Five RBs is not a problem, 5 RBs ensures you don't have a problem over a 14-15 game season.The true freshman RB, Miller is no slouch. The problem is 5 RBs and 1 football.
IMO, he was.McClellan was not better than Brian Robinson.
Talk about as even as you can get with carries. For the most part, everybody is getting a legit opportunity.Jase McClellan - 29 attempts for 245 yards with averaging 8.4 yards per carries with 2 TDs.
Jahmyr Gibbs- 25 attempts for 172 yards with averaging 6.9 yards with no TDs.
Roydell Williams has 17 carries for 104 yards with 2 TDs
Jamarion Miller has 20 carries for 146 yards with 2 TDs
Trey Sander has 9 carries for 53 yards.
I think it's safe to say that We're going to use Top 4 RBs this season.
I've noticed we use Gibbs a lot in Passing game. He's 2nd on team in receiving.
When McClellan is in the game, he can get us the yards. Gibbs too. Williams is the kind we use for short yardage and punishing defense to wear them down. Miller is special. He will be #1 or #2 RB next year.
Brian Robinson is an NFL starter as a rookie. Or rather, will be once he gets back. McClellan has not shown anything like that level of ability yet.IMO, he was.
