We've got 4 good RBs. Add to that we're a passing team. That means none of our RBs will consistently get a lot of carries.

Martinez’s yards were after contact and carrying people on him. FOH

It’s like our fans can’t say something smart without saying something dumb as **** at the same time

Allen needs 10-12 touches a game. He would put up good numbers if Dawson ran sweeps instead of running plays in the A & B gaps.

You do know Fletcher and Martinez had 25 carries for 162 yards today right?

All he does is perform when asked.

Each was excellent running the ball. Couldn’t tell the size of most holes Fletcher had but he was by and large getting through them with determination, didn’t seem like he needed to lose his leverage and was able keep to keep shoulders square. Martinez was a bowling ball. The role they have planned for Allen as a fourth quarter back is fantastic and he was excellent today in that role (as a runner).
Edit: Adding on, I think today looked exactly what they were hoping to grow the rotation into (absent Lyle). Were able to stick to it because we weren’t bailing water with the passing game for twenty plus minutes.

I was keyed on it live at the stadium. Dude dropped like a stone after contact, and Allen just kept driving. He's running very strong and making his limited carries count.

I hope he chooses to stay. I think he and fletcher can be something next year with Lyle as a 3rd.

Not surprising. He can be a contributor with someone but he’s going to 3/4 string here. Wish him luck. If Martinez comes back I expect another back not named Fletcher or Lyles to go also.

Martinez ain’t coming back. We might lose Allen and CJ.

Not surprising in the least. Especially if he’s getting signs that Martinez might return. Wouldn’t be surprised if Chris Johnson leaves too. Very crowded RB room if Martinez comes back, and you still have Fletcher and Lyle.

I'm sure CJ will leave, no reason to stay
