So you use Pacheco between the 20s and you use Hunt in the Red Zone and short yardage situations. Perine as the 3rd down back but you sprinkle Hunt in for some tendency breakers in between the 20s as a pass catching option on 1st and 2nd down.
I don't think it's really going to be a problem.

IMO Hunt is a lot better than Pacheco in short yardage situations. Hunt knows how to make himself skinny and has this little instinctive side jump to avoid defenders. His short yardage vision is pretty elite. Dude is just a Dawg as well will not be denied first down yardage.
Good luck to opposing defenses when Pacheco returns. 15 touches for Pacheco, 12 for Hunt and 2-3 from Steele a game. All of those touches from a fresh and hungry back. Good luck!
