I love the fact that there is all this talk revolving around our running game but for me at least........Yeldon, Smeldon..............it matters very little because IMO...........as far as Toby Gerhart is concerned, it's HIS to lose. Meaning, his place on this team. And, all this talk of moving him to FB...........that would be the kiss of death.........unless Olson intends on going to a two back offense of equal or close to equal amount of carries for the FB and RB. I say this because there is NO WAY Toby Gerhart will a move to the FB position again unless he is promised touches. Gerhart is a running back and has been from the time he stepped onto a football field as a youngster. Just because he's a brute size wise does not automatically spell FB. HE IS A RB............pure and simple. So, to wrap it up thee ONLY way he would agree to a move to the FB position is being "promised significant carries" or he has "sold out" for the money and no longer dreams of being a big time feature back. Personally, I don't believe it's in his DNA to sell out to anything like that. Said before on other threads, training camp at the RB position sure is gonna be interesting with or without DRO or Yeldon or Johnson or whoever else they might want to throw in the mix. Don't be surprised when all the smoke clears, if Toby Gerhart is the starter.
