Absolutely, Small is the man right now, and deservedly so. He's a good back, that PROTECTS the football, and PROTECTS his QB. It's a shame for Wright, too...I believe he is the better back; but, can't hang onto the ball, can't give it to you. He remedies putting the ball on the ground, he could be very special, imo.Very unlikely Small could get passed on the depth chart.
Wright has fumbled 3x in 5 games and 67 carries this year (lost only one). Gonna take a lot for the staff to trust him over Small who is WAY less likely to make a mistake. Small has zero fumbles through 232 career rush attempts. The most important part of our offense, or any offense, is to not give away possessions.
Sampson nearly got HH killed and possibly derailed the entire season.
So you’ll have Small as a Sr who is better at protecting the ball and pass pro (although he could improve) and has proven to be reliable at this level vs fumbling concerns and not understanding protections. All things could improve, yes, but that still leaves Small as most trustworthy, thus in my opinion, RB1 next year.
Small's our horse right now, though. He's just has to quit dancing so much before hitting the LOS.
