Maybe not as big a part, but I'd be surprised if Slaton were out of the equation altogether. Even in that type of situation there'd be a need for a third down/change of pace back.

Slaton is a big playmaker. I hope he returns healthy to help us next year.

Can't fumble while you're on IR.

Seriously, I hope Slaton bounces back. I've always felt he was miscast as an everydown back anyway.

Something tells me we may not be running a ZBS and won't need a 'cut and up-field' running back as badly next year. They may convert Hill to a lineman, maybe RT, and let Winston move to RG, IDK. But changes are coming I think. Meyers, of course, might be a casualty if this comes to be.

Slaton may become a good third down option.
