    Warren is better at providing a spark as RB2 so I don't have any issues if they go with Gainwell here on out. What yinz think?

    He was very good today. It could be a committee approach going forwards.

    Good to see K. Johnson get some yards today. He looked decent too.

    Is it just me, or does KG have some El Bell in him with the studder step? Also great at using it.

    Gainwell is like any other running back. He goes as the O-line goes.. Hopefully the O-line had a intervention today, and they play well the rest of the season. :shrug:

    He should at least get some more carries his way.
    I know some, not all , but some thought without Warren we wouldn't have a running game, but it was the best of the year, against a Defense, and DC that many said was flat out awesome. So....Yes Gainwell should get a few more carries at least a game.

    That may have been the best game of Gainwell's career. No, he should not be the starter over Warren, but maybe he will continue to bail the team out of its stupidity.

    I don't think he should start over Warren either, but I believe he is earning more carries.

    He's not a bell cow type back, which I hope Johnson can become. But, after watching Gainwell in Philly I was happy to get him. He gets a game ball today for sure.

    Agree, I thought Gainwell's best plays today came from where he did not go where he was supposed to go, but instead stopped, changed direction and ran to daylight.
