Ricky Williams was a backup running back for 9 games and a starter for 1 game yet he is 10th in the league in rushing with 677 yards and 5.3 yards per carry. Hes still a beast...
 
yeah and ronnie is ranked 12th at the moment so at this point in time we had two backs ranked in the top 15 in rushing granted ronnies numbers will drop
 
He splits carries. You could argue that Ronnie could be a backup as well. They normaly got roughly the same ammount of carries each game. That's the beauty of a 2-back system. You have two running backs who can come in with fresh legs and wear the defemse down. Ronnie starts the game and wears the defense down, and normally later on in the game, Ricky would provide fresh legs and would be too much for the defense. We do execute this 2-back system better than most teams out there. We probably are right up there with Carolina.
