Since there was no preseason I have no idea how he looks at practice or anything. Is he really that much better than Breida or Howard?? I can't get why he is getting so many snaps. Any insight?
 
I mean they paid for Howard and Breida. I guess he must look sensational in practice
 
Is there really any doubt that in these past two games he has been the best all around back this team has? Howard has done nothing with his opportunities and they seem to trust Gaskins more as a pass catcher than anyone else in the backfield.
 
I think it has more to do with how we are attacking teams gameplan wise.

Howard’s been fine for the ask. Short yardage and goalline primarily.

would like to see more breida but gaskin has been very solid

I think the simplest, and obvious answer is he is performing better in practice. That is what matters to Flo. Not draft position, or contract $.

Occams razor......
 
Since Breida hardly gets on the field my assumption is he earned it at practice prior to the season. Looks like the decision was justified as of now
 
I look at Gaskins frame and think this guy should get killed out there. He just looks too thin and slender to me to be a RB. That said he has really surprised me with some nifty runs and allusiveness.

I could see him being a real nice complement to a real bruiser back when we get one. Howard is doing his job getting some tough yards but I'd really like to get a 3 down type guy in the 2021 draft.

He projects very similar to Ronald Jones according to playerprofiler.com

Hmmm...

3rd down back, is exactly the role I think Gaskins fits best.
