Now, this could mean that both Rawls and Smith are ahead of Michael in the depth chart and will make the team regardless over him, but I find that unlikely. Now that this has come to light, I believe that we will only keep 3 RB's (Lynch, Turbin, Michael). I hope that we keep both FB's (Tukuafu, Coleman). Tukuafu can serve as emergency depth on the D-Line, and has also reportedly been taking reps in the TE position in certain packages. Coleman had snaps at RB last year and from what I remember he would be perfectly fine in the back-up RB role, probably better than either Rod Smith or Rawls at this point. Either could play FB as the other fills in at whatever position is in need, allowing the team greater flexibility with fewer roster spots taken up.
