From the episode
You needed somebody that you could functionally put in at RB2 instead of Tootin. And Chuba was like the guy that I wanted for that because I was like, I'm pretty sure early season, like he's going to do a lot of stuff. And then then you have the opportunity for Tootin to show what he's doing and then eventually take over the backfield.
STACKED’s take
NeutralRole
Hubbard served as early-season opener; Tootin to take over as backfield hierarchy clarifies.
Dhanani recommended Chuba Hubbard as an early-season "opener" (similar to a baseball opener) to pair with Bayshal Tootin in ambiguous backfields. The strategy was to use Hubbard at RB2 in weeks one and two to manage the split, allowing Tootin to show his talent and eventually take over the backfield as the coaching staff recognizes his superiority.
