What has frustrated me is that Duckett has shown signs that he could be effective for us. They have just refused to give him carries. I would like to to see what he could do if he was featured. What do we have to lose?

I too have been frustrated as to why we don't see more of Duckett. I'm not convinced he'd do well as the featured back because of the teams lack of faith in his blocking. Saunders also likes backs who operate well in space, can catch, block, as well as run. I'm not so sure Duckett fits all the criteria of a featured back, but he can be effective in short yardage when that is the only objective.
