All I see is QBs and TEs
You act like there's a difference
The thing is that the 5 guys can be replaced the very next play.
I'd go with Malleck, Hodges, Edmunds, Stanford, and Knowles
Edmunds, Bucky, Williams, I. Ford, Rogers.
Williams - Juice is Beast
Edmunds - Two power backs... drool
I. Ford - I think he is really that good. Break out star IMO
Malleck - Was meant to be major playbook component last year, I expect the same
Cline - One of the best surprises offensively last year, expect it to continue
Edmunds, mcKenzie, I. Frd, malleck, Bucky
2 back, 2 TE sets will destroy for positive yardage if executed properly. We will never do it.
Rogers.
Edmunds
McKenzie/Williams (I'm going to need to see more of both, but one of them should do it)
Stanford
Ford (from what I hear)
Malleck
Edmunds, Ford, Malleck, Cline, Hodges. Because, tight ends.
I'm going Malleck, Cline, Hodges, Rogers and Edmunds. Flex Hodges out occasionally, but I'm coming at you.
RB- Edmunds
FB- Rodgers
TE- Bucky
WR- Ford
WR- Byrn
Edmunds, Ford, Hodges, Stanford, Rogers. Power running, blocking, play action, and solid receivers, all in one neat little package.
What about Newsome?
Sorry, I forgot Newsome, Meyer, and Prince
Edmunds
Malleck
Stanford
Ford
Byrn
Dink and Dunk down the field.
Rogers, Hodges, Kline, and Malleck in a Diamond Formation (Rogers as deep back)
Rotate the others as wide out.

I call it "The we're running it up the gut" formation. How it works is we have three tight ends, a lead blocker, and a proven power runner. When Edmunds gets tired, McKenzie goes in. When McKenzie gets tired, if Edmunds is still tired we switch to the "What the hell is that" formation. For this one, all four backfield positions are lined up together at about the distance of a shotgun formation. The four backs are as follows: Chris Durkin, Sam Rogers, McMillian, and Bucky Hodges. As the two wide outs, Parker and Knowles. This is primarily a speed formation. The goal is to get the fastest players on the field running like nuts.
Some notes: TEs in the "We're running it up the gut" formation will be used in play action pass situations. The "What the hell is that" formation is to be used rarely. One, maybe two plays a game, and try to do something different on those plays each time. Not too complex though to keep the playbook thin. Like maybe option plays.
