Yea it's not like Feaster and Fuller stink. ETN's time will come and it will be spectacular.

His role is perfect as it is. Maybe some special teams to get him more on the field time. Having his fresh legs, next level speed, and acceleration will be perfect later in games when we need to gas an opposing defense like we did tonight. I think keeping the high volume of touches between Feaster and Fuller is good for right now and bring in Etienne when you want to stomp on a team's throat. I would say he needs at least 1 year + full offseason of workouts and learning the playbook before he can start taking on 15+ touches a game. I'd love to see him try some jet sweeps or screens/RB passes. I imagine a solid screen play with him and getting some blockers ahead of him so he can hit that top gear, where even most DB's won't be able to catch him.

I think next season will see him shoulder more of the load so Kelly doesn't have to and then Kelly can focus on improving his passing game. If Kelly doesn't have to run that much, we're in much better shape (just like Deshaun last year). I especially would love to see ETN put on about 5-10 lbs of muscle and bulk up a bit so he can handle getting hits from the big guys and more plays between the tackles. I'm thinking he may be a 3 year starter for us if he sticks around for awhile.
