With Rainey there if you lose Dwyer for a few weeks you will still be safe. I know I'm going to be one of the people who speak the highest on him, but this kid has skills that will set him apart from everyone. He's been compared to McCluster but thats an unfair comparison because about the only things they have in common is size and pass catching ability, when it comes to actually running the ball its like night and day. I'm not going to be so high on him just yet. It seems Al Davis' attitude has rubbed off on you. Yes, he has speed, but more remains to be seen about his running ability. For right now, he seems to be an adequate role player with difference making ability. I don't think he is there to the point where he can be trusted to carry a significant load in the running game, especially seeing as he cannot block worth anything because of his size.

rainey was terrible on the ground this game, but was good in the air. doubt he gets converted to WR, but with his speed, he might in the future
backup secondary needs work though, as they struggled against nick foles
but that RB battle on the steelers is gonna be tough to decide

Lots of RBs with injury concerns right now. Redman and Dwyer have minor injuries, FB Johnson out for year, RB/FB Clay with an injury that could be pretty serious.
Right now we just have RBs Rainey and Batch and FB Will Johnson as backs. Maybe another "camp" rb that could see time in the next game.
If Redman or Dwyer can't play in the next game, we may have to sign someone just to have enough rbs for the game.

If Redman is out for a while who'll start? Baron Batch has been getting the 1st team reps as Dwyer is also hurt right now with a shoulder injury that he sustained against the Eagles. The only two healthy RBs we have right now are Baron Batch and Chris Rainey. However, I think the situation will get better by the start of the season. Redman's injury doesn't seem to be serious enough that he will miss extended time. It is still early. No need to panic yet.

If Redman is out for a while who'll start? If Redman is out any regular season games Dwyer will start I'm sure. Thing is... Dwyer also has what it thought to be a minor injury. Shoulder sprain. If they both would miss reg season games.... That is not good. At all. Especially for Ben. People would just go after him without any though of our running game. Our other backs are Baron Batch and Chris Rainey, neither one has an NFL carry.
