I wonder if Peat earned the starting RB position over Jones with his performance tonight.

Great question. I suspect not, although he will get more time. I guess I question his durability, but he really isn't smaller than Jones so I am not sure why it concerns me. Jones in the past was considered a better inside runner, I believe. That hasn't been in evidence this year yet. I am sure we will see a lot of  Peat and a bit of Filkins.

I hope we also see E.J. Smith as a receiver and as a runner as well. I don't know what his usage profile will be, but he is potentially a great YAC guy as I understand it. Problem is, we can't afford a guy in the backfield who everybody knows won't carry the ball. We need to establish that he can hurt you as a runner too. If that isn't going to work then he needs to be in the receiver room exclusively. Right now, speed at receiver isn't in large supply. Maybe he can help that???
