Adam Gase was the offensive coordinator in Denver over the last two seasons and he used a variety of running backs in his offensive sets.

Whether it was because of injury, ineffectiveness or just a desire to spread out the workload, Gase and head coach John Fox oversaw an offense that had multiple backs carry the ball 100+ times each year. The Bears went a different route in those seasons.

Matt Forte ran the ball 555 times over the last two seasons and the No. 2 ballcarriers (Michael Bush and Ka’Deem Carey) didn’t even combine for 100 carries over the two seasons.
