Stealing a title from the old movie, let's call it "Three Men and a Baby." The three veterans are LeVeon Bell, Frank Gore and newcomer Kalen Ballage, who, like, Gore, played under coach Adam Gase with the Miami Dolphins. The rookie is La'Mical Perine, who already has caught the attention of his coach.
Bell remains the best back on the team despite a poor 2019 season, but Gase's well-documented affinity for Gore and his preference for a running back-by-committee are reasons to believe this could get messy. We've already seen the warning signs, with last week's hamstring dispute. It resulted in a long sitdown between Bell and Gase, who admitted Saturday he was "caught off guard a little bit" by Bell's Twitter rant about being pulled from a midweek intrasquad scrimmage. The story went on to say Gase claimed they're in a good place after the chat. Gase already is on record as saying he wants to reduce Bell's workload, but Bell is a volume runner, meaning he's at his best when he's getting 20-plus carries a game, the story said. There have been reports for quite a while that Gore is going to get his share of the workload this season.
