Cajuns not settled on RB starter

[JBO70538]

Does this remind any of you guys of the 2005 season when an unknown freshman running back emerged out of a group of backs that were supposed to be a “committee”? Fenroy turned out to be a great one. Could the football gods be so gracious a second time around? If so, who’s your favorite?

Just a random thought, but why not impose the 3 headed monster complex? I believe we have the backs and talent to do so. Something that resembled Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush, and Mike Bell of last year. Keeps all the backs healthy and very useful as each weapon can be explosive and deadly at any moment. Streeter and or Spikes can be used as screens or pitches to the outside and Spikes and Walker could be the Hardnose runners straight up the gut or near the goal line.

I think you will see something similar to this used for a while. I think you're going to see at least 2 backs and very possibly 3 used in some form of rotation for a while. I don't know if any of these guys are feature guys right now.

Spikes

I think the coaches would secretly say that Spikes is the guy they see longterm at the position. I know they've been very impressed with his work ethic and desire to be "the guy". He has the tools they feel will give this team the production at the spot but Robert Walker is right behind him. They are both young and come with plenty of upside.
