7. The Giants Still Don’t Have A Lead Back, And That Doesn’t Look Like It’s Changing
You can argue Rashad Jennings is the team’s number one back because he’s the starter, but Jennings, Andre Williams, and Shane Vereen are all splitting playing time pretty evenly, and it seems to be working. Jennings is a good two-down back good for an occasional big play, Williams is a bruiser, and Vereen is a gadget/scatback-type. It’s a nice combination.
My main point: I don’t expect the committee to change Sunday night. Look for some sort of mix of Jennings, Williams, and Vereen when the 49ers visit town, and most likely to continue in the coming weeks.
