And Bruce Hall was the lead back, and Raylen Allen was out there working with him, and Raylen Allen was the more effective back between the two.
Raylen Allen is the one that's been getting all the camp buzz.
You have guys like Albert Breer tweeting that everything they're hearing from their sources is that Raylen Allen is in store for a monster year this year, and that what we're seeing in the preseason in terms of his efficiency is showing that he could potentially do that.
And then you're wondering, maybe we're doing too much, but you wonder about some of these guys that had the rumors off season that they could be on the trade block.
Bruce Hall is one of them.
And your question is, is this a scenario where they really like their young 21 year old, you know, 6'1, I think he's 235 pounds, this like tank of a running back that is just maybe coming into his own that has like a little Derrick Henry to his game, potentially maybe.
Want to hand the keys over to him, especially if they like Isaiah Davis that much.
So you'll wonder, does Bruce Hall get moved, maybe not even before the season, maybe during the season, once, you know, things aren't going great, they move him before the trade deadline.
I think there's a lot of ways that this backfield could go, but Raylen Allen to me is one of the spots that I am more than happy to grab him, where he's going in drafts with the potential to give you flex numbers as part of a committee, or to maybe at some point take this over in one of several ways that that could happen.
He's a guy that if I'm going like hero RB or zero RB, I just did a draft yesterday where I didn't really plan to do either of those, and I ended up going running backs very late.
Raylen Allen was like a must draft at that point because he is one of those guys that could turn into a starter potentially this year or at worst, give me some flex production until I can find somebody else to be a starter for me.
