I think Coleman should be the primary back with Mostert backing him up. Our version of thunder and lightning.

Mostret makes people miss, gets big gains and is more explosive.

So does Coleman - I just like Coleman a little better starting the game.

Is it right that he has put the ball on the ground 5 times in the last 7 games? That's incredible. SOmethings got to be going on. He's not a bad player. Maybe activate wilson, give Breida a break.

I noticed with two of his fumbles (and last night's) it was when he would squirm and twist his body at the end of his run so his back is parallel to the ground which it made it easier to take it from him.

Hoping he's learning from this because we can still use him. I like when we are able to just run everyone for 50 + yards.

Highly doubtful. I believe Breida will remain in the rotation. You don't bench a contributor like Breida after two or three bad games.

Pettis has never been the consistent contributor that Breida has been.

I been high on Breida all year, but he is a liability at this point because of ball security

Huge that Coleman looked like he's back to form. Maybe he needed the bye week

Just put two hands on the ball at contact. When he tries to fight he gets stripped.

That's cool. I imagine whoever is hotter gets the most reps between the two. I like Mostret more because of his vision to cut back and get bigger chunks. Coleman to me seems to go to the hole where the play is called and gets stuffed if it's not open. Either way it should just be the two of them until this season ends.

Overreaction. The first two have done next to nothing all year. Spoon and Breida have actually done something for the team in 2019. It is for that reason that they will continue to play, even if their opportunities are limited. Goodwin is as good as gone and Pettis will be right behind him with a lackluster training camp or if a team offers decent compensation.

That's it for this year. He's gotta just get it together in the off-season and comeback stronger for the start of the 2020 season.

I'm not trying to be funny or joking. I'm being serious when I say this. Alot of people blew off him doing very little since the Browns game. He has not been a major contributor since then. You guys see it now ??

The same thing happened to Mostert. There was a period where he would just fumble every carry.

I agree. It may be a confidence/mindset issue vs a health issue. He just probably needs a rest, hes been a big contributor during the toughest part of the regular season. Let him sit back, rest, and get hungry again to play.
