Washington Redskins will continue to use running back by committee

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins want to continue tapping into their versatility at running back. Which means they’ll continue to rotate three of them, even as the run game sputters.

Each player fills a different need; the problem is that the Redskins aren’t getting enough production from any of them -- and it’s not necessarily their fault. As this story noted, there have been many reasons why the run game has suffered of late.

After two games, the common refrain was that the Redskins benefitted from having two backs as primary ballcarriers such as Alfred Morris and Matt Jones.
