Feature back role confirmed with early-down and touchdown opportunities. The source emphasizes that Montgomery was brought in as the primary back, not to split work with Woody Marks.

Monty is the guy. They they did not bring him in. And the other thing is like not only from a talent perspective is he is he the guy. Not only has the team at times said that he's the guy going to be a feature back this season, but think about it from Monty's perspective. Do you think in free agency they would have gone there and said, 'Hey, uh want to split the work with Woody Marks?' And he was like, 'Yes, please.' And took that job. There were plenty of teams that would have been willing to give David Montgomery a contract. The fact that he went to Houston signals to me, they said, 'You're the guy. You're the early down guy. You're getting the touchdowns. We're going to use you in the receiving game.'
