I was impressed with his punt returns. He doesn't dance around.

Breida is going to get the bulk of the carries

UConn4523 : 9/18/2023 9:35 am : link

I would think but yeah, we are going to see Gray.

I think it will be RB by committee, but

Del Shofner : 9/18/2023 9:35 am : link

Gray will get some snaps for sure.

I wouldn't be shocked

Biteymax22 : 9/18/2023 9:36 am : link

if Brightwell out touches him, but we'll see a committee Thursday

Brightwell

SirYesSir : 9/18/2023 9:39 am : link

is a solid nfl back. I won't mind if he gets carries. I can see all three being used

Next man up

Spider43 : 9/18/2023 9:40 am : link

Don't particularly care much who it is. But someone WILL step up. Though I do think Gray has the best odds of showing out.

I think they turn to birghtwell

46and2Blue : 9/18/2023 9:41 am : link

with breida backing him up. He doesn't get enough credit, but I think he is also a good no nonsense runner.

He did a nice job

gary_from_chester : 9/18/2023 9:43 am : link

Handling punt returns. I think Breida and Brightwell get more touches on offense; we may not see him at all. Coaches need to trust him on blitz pickup, he will be worked in slowly.

some people have said we don't need a stud RB like Barkley

Dr. D : 9/18/2023 9:54 am : link

and that RB by committee would be just as good (at cheaper price). I guess we're going to find out.

Of course Barkley's Evan Engram like pass deflections for INTs won't be missed.

I was going to say a similar thing about dancing around.

I'd like to see more Gray

DieHard : 9/18/2023 10:16 am : link

but his pass blocking in preseason was shaky. Unless he's shored that up, I think his usage will be limited.

Yeah, maybe just a touch of Gray.

Protect the ball

Lines of Scrimmage : 9/18/2023 10:19 am : link

and get the yards that are available. Lose some of the big play potential of SB but hopefully they can do enough.

Hopefully pass protection is not a issue with this group.

kind of suits him anyway

Brightwell

penkap75 : 9/18/2023 10:24 am : link

In the few snaps he had last year, he did some tough N-S running for positive yards.

I’d rather see

5BowlsSoon : 9/18/2023 10:33 am : link

Breida and Brightwell.

Clocks are runnin late

Breida and Gray

Breeze_94 : 9/18/2023 10:48 am : link

Should be enough to hold down the fort. This offense runs through Jones.

Also, the Niners defense gave up a ton of yards to the Rams through the air yesterday.

Breida

HBart : 9/18/2023 10:54 am : link

Is a proven NFL RB who pass blocks better than any of our other guys. He's an athlete. He runs hard. Just a couple years removed from fetching a 5th rounder in a trade so the Giants aren't the only ones who see talent there. I expect him to get most carries and be productive with them.

Running back by committee

HarryCarson53 : 9/18/2023 11:09 am : link

May be better than Barkley has shown so far this year.

I like the way he explodes off the line. Looking forward to seeing Gray getting an opportunity as well

Does anyone remember his blocking in preseason? Hold onto your hat if your DJ.

This is gonna sound rough...

Dnew15 : 9/18/2023 11:51 am : link

given the situation, HOWEVER, the last time SB went down due to injury the problems with the offense weren't the replacement backs.

Wayne Gallman was quite good.

I love SB, but it should be interesting to see what happens with the offense and the run game with him out.

Week 17 last year

AJ23 : 9/18/2023 11:56 am : link

Breida (70% snaps) - 4 rushes, 28 yards, 7 catches on 8 targets for 12 yards
Brightwell (46% snaps) - 11 rushes, 60 yards, 1 catch on 3 targets for 3 yards
