Resigning Dayne half way through the year wouldnt suprise me at all if Green or Brown go down. I was very suprised we let him go this year, considering his production last year. He has had durability issues though and starts very slow.
I would have to agree that we see a committee running game this year. I doubt that it will be a three way split in games though. I see Green starting the season with 15-20 carries a game and the rest going to Brown/Slaton. As the season wears on Green will probably get 12-16 carries with more going to the #2 guy. Barring injury, Green gets the start all season.
