This article really addresses the question at running back but it applies to tight end and receiver backup positions as well in that it is unclear what role those players will have. The Boys have starting players at those positions but behind them ,the current backups seem to serve no real purpose. Last season, the backups were horrid special teams players while also being mostly useless if called on to play as substitutes on offense. What the coaches need to do is accept special teams as a real unit. Designate key special teams players as special teams. Make special teams an actual position. That concept separates special teams from the true position backups. This idea reverses the traditional concept in that the core special teams players have special teams as their designated position and their backup role is as a running back, receiver, tight end. Then, true position backups can be chosen based on their ability to play in the offense . The Garrett way was the opposite. Garrett chose position backups based on how they could be as special teams players and we all saw that left Dallas with the worst special teams in football and with backups who could not play their position...the worst of both worlds. To be honest, my 'idea' is not new as Tom Landry had players like Bill Bates who was exactly what I am discussing. Bates played special teams as his position. He became a star with that position role and Dallas dominated special teams during his era. Dominate special teams in 2020 and the wins will come.
