Sure, but if someone asks why we use Etienne as a weapon when we already had Shenault then the answer would be that Meyer doesn't like Shenault enough as weapon. This is because the implication is that only one weapon is needed. 

I don't necessarily think you're wrong but I do think there is some evidence that Meyer isn't convinced Shenault can be a H-back.

I don't see that putting ETN at RB (not H-back) or even wildcat at times as a "weapon" prevents the offense from using Shenault as a "weapon" from the WR positions.  Besides getting the ball quickly into Viska's hands on quick screens and passes, you can still use him on things like jet sweeps that he excelled at last season.  I see the drafting of ETN as adding another weapon on the field for Trevor, not replacing one on the roster or field. I do think reducing some of the hits that Shenault likes to take on is a benefit.
