It appears that head coach Klint Kubiak has finally seen enough and recognizes the need for a change at running back. Mike Washington was a player he pounded the table for. Washington may not have broken 100 yards on 25 carries or scored a rushing touchdown, but his impact was definitely profound.

Washington inserted as lead back; 4.4 YPC outside goal-to-go despite 3.3 overall average

Washington was inserted as the lead back in a running back committee after head coach Klint Kubiak decided to make a change at the position. Though Washington did not break 100 yards on 25 carries or score a rushing touchdown, the source argues his impact was profound; outside goal-to-go situations he averaged 4.4 YPC on 19 carries (83 yards), with the offensive line struggling at the goal line (6 carries for 0 yards). Washington should be the bell cow receiving the majority of carries going forward.
