I do not think Hyde is going to be in line for every down usage. Even if Damien goes out with a injury. He is strictly between the tackles type back and really is not a good receiver out of the back field. So I do not think that will fit our offense, which is built on speed and stretching defenses. So yeah I think the staff would love one of the young guys to show they can handle the offense.
Only way Hyde makes the team is a short yardage power back. If any of our other backs come close to matching him in such a capacity, he will be expendable. Simply because the other backs will be more versatile in special teams.
