im not worried about booker at all. He was there last year, freeman was nicked up, and had 76 combined touches receiving and rushing. I dont see him doing much more than that, and see regression with both backs stepping forwardwell, the most recent local rumors are an expected split, and they hope, more running and relying on the defense. They say, and I fully believe, they are comfortable with Freeman in pass pro and his receiving skills. From what Ive personally seen of Freeman on college film and last year, I believe it. So I don't think game flow will be the #1 determining factor. Performance will be. With a defensive coach, a Shanny disciple at OC, and Munchak as the O-line/offensive assistant/assistant head coach/whatever...seems like a reasonable, if not entirely probable expectation.
I don't know what to think about either back by themselves, but both should be moderately productive, unless one just takes the reigns. If I own em, not too worried either way, if I don't own em, I'm likely not touching them. In a redraft I'd probably be more apt to take Freeman late as I think it'll be a better return on the investment than Lindsey, who you'd have to take earlier.
BTW, Booker is still on the team, and is still going to be a factor.
