No. 4 – How well will the running game absorb the loss of J.K. Dobbins?
ICYMI: “It’s starting to hit me a little bit,” Teague said. “It’s getting close to that time, so I just want to be ready, do all I can just to help the team any way I can.” https://t.co/goFdzZq8iD

There’s no question losing one of the best tailbacks to ever put on the scarlet and gray is going to sting a little. J.K. Dobbins was a work-horse, yet had the speed and wiggle to turn the tough in-between the tackle run into an explosive play.
His backup from last season, Master Teague, looks like the heir-apparent to take over the No. 1 role, but how effective will the rushing game be with a different style of back toting the mail? Teague is a big, strong, straight-line type runner that will get his yards, but will the threat be there like it was with Dobbins?
