RB by Committee or does one Emerge?

One of the biggest reasons for this stat is the QB they had. If you have the best passer in the country why not throw it more. Would be interesting to see stats from other jobs.
I think Yant is going to be a dude this year. He was super timid last year and regardless of his size always seemed to fall backwards at the point of contact. He has retooled his body and is a lot more explosive. I would expect to see RJ in a lot of swing passes or 3rd down situational stuff. Hell even the screen game depending on how defenses rush. I would expect to see GR or Grant in a traditional back role. Probably play the hot hand approach.
At 58% run with the lead means to me it was working.
I know some care a lot about style, yearn for Ibacks etc.
The style I mostly care about is winning
If Grants a tough hard nosed runner in the Big, he might beat out Gabe, time will tell. If he can hold up.
I feel Gabes injury was a freak thing, but time will tell with him too
So, what, 25-30 run plays per game, along with 35-40+ pass plays per game? That’s not a lot of carries to go around, so whoever it is, will likely be someone who excels in pass catching and blocking. Might see some of these dudes exit after fall camp, or shortly after. Probably only room for 3 dudes, baring injury, to see the field fairly regular. No idea who it will be, but it’s pretty crowded in there. Definitely won’t be able to keep them all. Maybe one guy can separate himself? Will be fun to watch it play out.
Me personally, I’d like to see Yant turn into that B1G bell-cow every-down back like Mo Ibrahim, Ozigbo, etc. with Grant and Ervin as our change of pace guys. Rahmir will be more of a passing down back which ALWAYS has a place in Mark Whipple’s offense
So basically Whipple likes to have a committee is what I’m seeing. Hopefully that can translate to the B1G but most teams have a bell-cow guy so maybe Yant?
Because he likes a RB by committee approach it appears
That could work if that can work
Might have also been created because of injuries? Look at the BIG and the number of #1 RB's that are injured almost every season? I'd say you'd best have several RB's that are good if you plan on doing a lot of running in the BIG. I think Wisky lost all 3 of their top RB's and lucked into finding a defensive player (Bralelon Allen) that became a hell of a RB.
Minny lost their guy too
The BIG is a freaken meat grinder for RB's imo. Hence we might be better positioned with several RB's that can get it done as opposed to one super star RB.
Thats just it,how many years are taken from Big RBs going next level.
A rare back in the NFL that lasts 7 years starts the clock ticking once hes starting in the Big
