We're definitely going to need someone to share the load with Portis whether it be Parker or a player to be named later. As we all know, gone are the days when it could be expected for one back to carry a sixteen game load alone. We're going to give Parker a look see, but in the final analysis our options at RB could be limitless. Would like to see us get younger at the position because durability is always an issue with RB's, youth should serve us better.
