Near the beginning of the season we had what most thought was a mediocre group of RB's due to lack of success and the struggles to stay healthy. After Maroney was let go, Fred Taylor and BJGE were the guys to carry the load with Faulk as the 3rd down back/change of pace back. Suddenly, Taylor and Faulk both went down, which left us even weaker at the RB position. Of course we acquired Danny Woodhead after he was released from the Jets, and I'm sure at the time nobody thought he would make much of an impact. It was not looking good at all for us.
Things got better and week after week BJGE and Woodhead have continued to impress. Fred Taylor looks like he should be back soon and there is always Sammy Morris to take some carries if needed. Overall, I'm feeling good about the RB situation this season and now with Woodhead signed through 2012, it looks like we have our new 3rd down RB for the future. Of course there is a chance that if healthy, Faulk may return for another season and I hope he does.
I know a lot of people want us to get Mark Ingram or another top RB in next years draft, but I'm just not thinking it will happen. BJGE looks like he is the guy next year along with Woodhead. I don't expect Taylor to be around and Faulk is questionable. I think we still will draft a RB but I don't see it being in the first couple rounds, especially with our Raiders 1st round pick slipping further and further back. Does anyone think that the RB position is still much of a problem anymore?
