what else will be interesting will be to see if Coen does what he inferred at his presser: put each RB in & see how they do? 

If this is truly what he does, then Tucker should get the start. He’s been the most productive back in both the running and passing games. Mix in Bucky to spell and have White as your primary 3DB (assuming he’s healthy, and like you, I’d rather him get another week off). 

Mix all 3 in multiple 21P looks. And, dare I say, sprinkle in one to two snaps in 30P?!

Idk man. Tucker could be great but I'm wondering if that was a function of the saints being bad.

Bucky has shown us more and deserves to start. Tucker would be my rb2 and then White would be a situational player or in when there's 2 rbs in the wish bone

The sample size for both is extremely small.

Bucky played in the same game (equal carries) and was out produced by Tucker in every aspect (rushing and receiving).

Spot on!

And even though you acknowledge the sample size, one of those backs outperformed the other, a factor above the other.

Assuming Coen does what he says, and conducts a RB test during this game, I’m very interested to see how Tucker performs in the mean.

We all know that Tucker should have gone much higher in his draft class, but for a health condition…could be we have a special one…we need to find out.

Doing that with a full-strength/healthy offensive line, against a strong defensive line, means this is the best time to run a test like this…and we’re doing it at the moment we have a winning record.

Really excited to see the results, hope he follows through with it.

Agreed.

For as small as Bucky's sample size is, the dwarfs Tucker's.

Tucker has literally one game and he got all the garbage time work at the end.

To be clear I think Tucker is good but I don't think he's RB1.

He was ripping off big gains in the 1st quarter. His first score was in the 2nd quarter to give us back the lead. 

Bucky’s lone TD came with 5 minutes left in a 2 score game. So, Bucky was getting work in garbage time as well.

At the end of the day, both of their sample sizes are small. 

Tucker’s obviously not going to get the start. Just saying he should. He earned it last week by outperforming everyone else. 

Side note, congrats on the new polls!

The sample size for Irving is small.  For Tucker even smaller. 

The sample size for White is large. One reason I wondered if he might slide, without change. 

let’s hope they all run wild

Bucky's TD was the game sealing TD imo.

Once it became 3 scores then Tucker got them totally tired and demoralized.

But either way, 3 rbs isn't the answer so I'm guessing Tucker has earned himself a series or 2 but White and Bucky will take control of snaps and series.

Re: Ducks... Thanks but long road ahead. We've been so close on on chips multiple times so I'm def nervous. 

But this ducks team is more blue collar than the system stuff we did prior with success.

Tucker is the best RB by a wide margin, they're letting draft status get in the way.

"are we going to let them play at least one game. . . ."

The norm in the NFL is not to turn over the entire running game to a guy based on one game? I hope Tucker is the best of all of them
