Mark Schlereth earlier slightly butt-hurt Rich Eisen with his market capitalist take. He didn't give a shit about the plight of RBs. Said none of them were on a podium or having meetings when the fullback position was going extinct. Funny point but shows the nature of the market/game.
Other interesting part was a reminder that his Broncos in the late 90's/early 00's kind of popularized the notion of RBs being replaceable. I hadn't thought about those guys in a while...
Terrell Davis to Olandis Gary to Mike Anderson to Clinton Portis to Reuben Droughns then back to Mike Anderson... 1500yd backs were the running joke about Shanahans Broncos. But RB by committee was also in full force. For example, when Anderson got another shot to start, he barely cracked 1000... But DEN had almost 2600yds rushing that season.
