Agreed.

Seems like it's him vs. Pacheco for the final RB slot and McKinnon was EASILY the best pure RB we had last year. He also demonstrated good pass-catching skills and solid Pass pro.

Durability is his biggest issue and we have the RB depth to deal with that.

And he's the kind of guy who is just as likely to get a soft-tissue hammy pull in practice as he is to blow his ACL on his 28th carry of a game. So when he's healthy, ride him. I'm not sure workload even matters with a guy like him.

So smoke it when you got it. I'd give Jones some 1st down work I guess, but 2nd and 3rd downs would be McKinnon until he breaks.

I'm just writing CEH off until he proves me wrong. He got EXCEPTIONAL run-blocking last year when you look up the 'expected YPC' figures. And he didn't even manage to get JAG level returns on it. He got less than his expected yards per carry. That's just damn rough.

If he takes the job back - bully. But I'm done counting on him for anything unless/until he forces my hand.
