This battle should be fun to watch. I hope Wade is not even on the team come September. We definitely have "two" many RBs. Rainey, Darkwa are gone for sure. Williams on the bubble.
thanks, D'dawg  
ColHowPepper : 6/29/2016 2:55 pm : link
Darkwa is arguably a different style of runner than Jennings, and certainly Williams, and might have a better shot because of that, except being off the field so much last season and this spring don't augur well for him, nor Perkins. Rainey I know nothing about. Vereen is a given.
