This is clearly the weakest position group on the team. I anticipate that the Skins will need to do something to improve this group before the start of the regular season.

That is all assuming we don't sign an veteran in the next 6 weeks. Pierre Thomas is old but still available and knows our system. Next year I'd suspect Scott McC invests in a high profile RB if this current set of unknowns don't work out..
And btw,
New England was 30th in the league last year in rushing yards/game. We were 20th and Denver was 17. Just pointing out it is not mandatory to have a good rush game to win in todays game.
