Seems to be a nice problem to have. Too many good players fighting for roster spots is better than having to make do with what you have or go shopping. First, we have to see how many make it through camp, but I hope that won't be the deciding factor.

If the Packers are going to go with Morgan at LT, which is apparently their hope, having a RB that can block could become crucial. There is always a learning curve, such as Aaron Jones and Rasheed Walker. Having someone who could be effective against a defender who slipped past the LT, or stopping a DB blitz rather than letting the guy get an unimpeded path to Love could become necessary. Although after looking around online, it seems that Wilson has become a very proficient blocker. Which is good for the team, but could make Brooks expendable.

Yes there is a chance, but the best one is if Lloyd can’t demonstrate he can block. Brooks isn’t the athlete that the others are. He is there primarily for third down plays and as an extra protector, not to spell Jacobs. If Lloyd grabs that role (in addition to adding an outside the tackles threat and as a threat to run if passed to in space) then Brooks would either need an injury to someone or them to keep 4 backs.

I think Brooks would make the PS unless a team desperately needs a protection specialist. Teams usually pounce for elite athletes at RB or hold onto their own for the 53 to start the season.

Jacobs and baring a set back Lloyd are the only locks for the roster. Wilson was the 2nd last year but that was last year. Brooks will have the chance to play himself into that 3rd spot this preseason. He will probably get plenty of chances as well. Nothing is in stone in July.

Jacobs, and probably Wilson, won't play that much in the exhibition games. It's going to be a prime opportunity for Brooks, Lloyd, and the rest to state their cases behind a 3rd string line. If they want to make the 53 man roster, they'll have to stay healthy through training camp and the exhibitions.

I could see us keeping 4, but more probably we'll only keep 3, and if Lloyd stays healthy, he'll almost certainly make the 53.

As of right now, I would keep all four RBs. Lloyd will need to stay healthy and learn how to pass block if he's going to play early in the season. Otherwise he will be a game day inactive. If Lloyd is not getting serious playing time by halfway through the season, that will be disappointing. But I think he will.

If they are not able to keep four RBs, I think they will need to cut Brooks though.

Jacobs is RB1, Llyod will be given every chance to be RB2, so that leaves Brooks and Wilson competing for RB3. I say that only because the Packers will keep Llyod on the 53. Jacobs is the only back that will see very limited or no preseason reps. The other three will prove themselves in camp and preseason games. That being the case one of them could get injured so the decision would be easy to make. Now if we get through camp and preseason with all of them healthy it will be whoever is best at pass pro and special teams.

I like Brooks more than Wilson. I too like his running style. He is the the of back that is not afraid to put a hurting on a defender. He is the only one of the four that is over 6 ft. The other three have similar body types. Both Brooks and Wilson are 3rd year players. I would like to see them keep all four but I know that probably will not happen. I do not care which one they keep just as long as they keep the right one.

I'm not understanding how Lloyd, or anybody else, is leapfrogging over Wilson.

Wilson was 2nd on the team in touches last year. He averaged 4.9 yards/rush. He did not have a single turnover. He was not charged with a single penalty. He was available for all 17 games. He caught 11 of 14 targets.

And yet, we're just going to sit him down in favor of somebody else.? I don't think so.

Yes, there is room for Brooks. You know how I know?

I just got done watching A River Runs Through It.
